community Yoga, Meditation, & teacher training for service

  Rhett began his meditation practice in a small Zen temple about 20 years ago. It didn't take him long to realize that his mind was going bananas most of the time. This realization motivated him to keep practicing in order to get to know the nature of his mind and to ultimately make it a friend. Knowing that many others experience this mental tug of war moved Rhett to have more compassion for our shared struggles. From this sense of a shared suffering grew his motivation to become a mindfulness teacher. Ultimately he hopes to help others in their journey to become a true friend to themselves. 

*Rhett is currently in the middle of a two-year program to become a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher that is facilitated by the well-known authors and meditation teachers Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. The meditation tradition being taught in this program is called Insight Meditation (also known as Vipassana) and its focus is on developing a nonjudgmental awareness in relation to our present experience. Rhett's class is open to folks from all meditation traditions. 

Meylin discovered yoga not only as a way to reconnect her body and mind but also as a powerful tool for her own health and healing journey. She quickly fell in love with the strength, calm, and confidence it brings. As a parent and community-lover, she’s passionate about helping children experience those same benefits in a playful, supportive environment. Teaching under the mentorship of her studio instructor, Meylin designed the Strong & Steady program to help kids grow stronger in both body and spirit. Her classes weave fun poses, balance challenges, teamwork, and simple mindfulness practices so every child leaves feeling calm, brave, and capable. Meylin balances teaching yoga with raising her kids, helping her community, and continuing her own practice as a student to become a certified yoga instructor. Meylin’s hope is that each child walks out proud, grounded, and a little more connected to their own inner strength—and that she continues to learn from the curiosity and joy they bring. 

Jordan Bennett is a massage therapy student and emerging holistic practitioner, dually enrolled in Seva Yoga School’s 200HR-YTT.  Jordan fosters a deep passion for helping others reconnect with their bodies and cultivate a sense of balance and well-being. Her approach is rooted in trauma-informed principles, blending an understanding of physical tension with awareness of the emotional and energetic connections that can be held within the body.

Guided by her own transformation and a commitment to ongoing growth, Jordan creates a grounded and compassionate space where people can feel safe, supported, and truly seen. She believes healing begins with presence, honoring each individual exactly where they are while. Her approach begins by gently supporting the body’s natural capacity to rest, which leads to its own innate wisdom for restoration.

Jordan is honored to walk this path of self-discovery with you, and is grateful to be able to witness your personal journey of transformation.
