Piper Sereno

Piper started her yoga journey 6 years ago when she first walked into Release at the age of 16. She graduated from Release's teacher training program in 2017, and has been teaching throughout her college studies. Piper is a graduate student at Case Western Reserve University, and is currently a substitute instructor at Release.

My teaching style is: hands-off and minimal. I like to leave room for students to move the way that feels best for them, while still providing detailed cues for proper alignment. I'll try to teach a flow with wiggle room to be as creative and as challenging as you want it to be. I want students to leave my class feeling relaxed, open, and supported.

My favorite music to practice to is: any kind of instrumental music. The less words, the better. Some of my favorite artists for yoga practice are Kupla, Sol Rising, and Emancipator.

I love my: FRECKLES!

My advice for beginning yogis is: Don't look at the person next to you. Stay in your own lane and focus on what feels good in your body.

I’m most grateful for: My body and all the ways I am able to move.

If I could practice yoga with anyone, it would be: My grandpa, Joe, who passed away over a year ago. He practiced yoga until he was 85 years old, and introduced me to yoga when I was 14.

Yoga has helped me overcome: Not quite overcome, but has definitely helped with my anxiety and insecurity.

My super power is: Listening and being a supportive figure for the people in my life.

My one wish for the world is: Health.

Nate Jackson

Nate completed his 200 hour teacher training and has been teaching yoga for two years and practicing for over 6. He sees yoga as a playground for communal healing, challenging growth, and exploring physical movement.

My teaching style is: down-to-earth and physically innovative (integrated strength and mobility work).

My favorite yoga pose is: locust so I can pretend to be a jet (and maybe challenge some ujjayi breathing).

Yoga has helped me overcome: neck pain and body shame.

You must try this healthy snack: Krave Jerky it's healthy and unconventional flavors of various dehydrated meats.

My favorite Sanskrit word or phrase is Namaste because I’m basic AF, but seriously because it truly is a lifestyle of appreciating the imago dei (image of God) in everyone.

My advice for beginning yogis is: start with your breath. Master your ujjayi (ocean breath)… google it, study it, practice it at least 5 minutes every day for your first month. It affects everything.

I’m most grateful for: 8 awesome niblings (nephews and nieces).

The most exotic place I’ve practiced yoga is: in my mind… it gets crazy up there.

If I could practice yoga with anyone it would be with my beautiful sister, Tricia, because she introduced me to both yoga and a deep well of grace and compassion.

My heroes are: Aladdin and Abu.

My super power is: my toe ;-)

My one wish for the world is: for compassion to become more contagious and invade areas of personal and systemic suffering.

Rachel Hartong

My teaching style is: Growing and evolving as I continue to learn more about myself through teaching others and through my own yoga practice.

My favorite yoga pose is: Supta Bhada Konasana—it’s gentle enough to ease into practice, but intense enough to start to bring awareness to the body and breath.

Yoga has helped me overcome: Stress and anxiety and has helped to gain self confidence.

I love my smile because it’s uniquely mine and it makes other people happy to see a smiling face. Research has shown that people who smile more lead happier and healthier lives than those who smile less.

You must try this healthy snack: Hummus and veggie wraps.

My favorite Sanskrit word or phrase is Namaste there is a Divine spark and light in each of us. The gesture is the acknowledgement of the soul in one by the soul in another.

My advice for beginning yogis is: You are unique and so is your yoga practice! Be kind to yourself on your mats.

I’m most grateful for: The support of my husband and 4 children and the rest of my family and friends.

The most exotic place I’ve practiced yoga is: Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

My heroes are: My grandma. She has been there to support me and encourage me since I can remember. She has been a huge help to our family and loves my children dearly.

My one wish for the world is: That we are all able to work together for the greater good of everyone.

Sydney Corbin

Sydney came to her mat at Release about two years ago. Her journey to crafting this life has been a colorful one. As a disciple of Christ, she has found that yoga can be one of many ways she connects with God. You can count on a fiery flow in her classes with a heavy emphasis on the use of breath as a tool to cleanse the mind and body. Sydney has a burning desire to lead her students on a path of falling in love with yoga and growing towards the knowledge of their true self.

My teaching style is: Challenging, authentic, and explorative. I love pushing my practice to the edge and playing with new movements. I love my core because: It's strong and powerful. It holds the fire to my practice. You must try this healthy snack: Avocado and tomato on whole grain seed toast.

My favorite Sanskrit word or phrase is ... because: Ahimsa: Nonharmning.“Ahimsa” is as the absence of violence but also conscious consideration and love for one’s self and others.

My advice for beginning yogis is: Remember that your practice is an individual process. No one else is inside your body, Listen to it and respect what it tells you.

I’m most grateful for:Every twist and turn in the road that lead me to where I am today. Because it led me to exactly where I'm meant to be - RIGHT HERE! The most exotic place I’ve practiced yoga is: Off the grid in the mountains of Oahu, Hawaii!
