Miranda McGrath

by

Yoga Teacher and Therapist

Reiki Master, Crystal Voyage
Anatomy and Alignment, Hatha Yoga Center
Clinical Massage Therapy, NW Academy of the Healing Arts
Alchemy of the Chakras, Alana Kaivalya

Miranda is a seasoned yoga practitioner with over two decades of experience. Her journey into yoga began during her dance career when she sought relief for her aching body. What she discovered was transformative; not only did yoga heal her physically, but it also nurtured her mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This experience prompted her to shift her focus away from dance and embark on a journey that has been nothing short of magical.

Miranda’s deep commitment to yoga led her to study under a variety of masters and mentors, where she delved into alignment and the science of anatomy. With a 700-hour yoga teacher training under her belt, her studies are diverse, rooted in the Himalayan Yoga Tradition and influenced by great figures such as K. Patabhi Jois (Ashtanga, Vinyasa) and Paul Grilly (Yin yoga).

Over the years, Miranda honed her knowledge and skills, leading classes, teaching at retreats in exotic locations like Costa Rica, and conducting specialized workshops. She even ventured into the world of wellness consulting, blending her yoga expertise with her education from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Miranda helps people worldwide find their inner healers, addressing chronic pain, sleep, anxiety, depression, and more through time-tested Ayurvedic techniques, detoxing, and fasting.

Miranda’s personal experience highlighted the power of her yoga practice when she avoided severe pain from a bulging L5 disc, all thanks to her consistent yoga practice, clean diet, and wellness routines.

Her fascination with human anatomy and the potential of our bodies off the mat led her to study massage therapy at the prestigious NW Academy of the Healing Arts, complementing her yoga practice and enhancing her healing abilities.

Miranda’s yoga classes are a unique blend of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yin, incorporating poetry, music, readings from ancient texts, and her personal touch. Described as a compassionate yoga ambassador, she creates inviting spaces for magical yoga experiences, not just classes.

In addition to her yoga practice, Miranda offers massage therapy services that include deep tissue, Swedish relaxation, Thai, and Reiki. Her massages are holistic, incorporating aromatherapy, sound therapy, Reiki healing, and a delightful peppermint-raw sugar foot scrub.

Miranda’s mission in this lifetime is to empower individuals to become self-healers, reclaim their power, and live abundant, vibrant, and peaceful lives. She believes that through her guidance, students can unlock their passion for yoga, awaken their inner fire (tapas), and experience the transformative magic of the practice.

Miranda’s brand, Boho Warrior, encapsulates her free-spirited approach to well-being. You can connect with her online through the following links:

Miranda also enjoys creative writing and spends quality time at her rustic, romantic jungle casita in sunny Mexico with her feisty felines.

Elena Zubulake

by

Wellness Therapist

Elena has been involved with Movement, Body wisdom, and the Healing Arts for 27 years.

Her mom put her in gymnastics when she was two because she was ‘Wild’. She still identifies deeply with her wildness as a kind of authenticity and listening into the deep rhythms of life that grounds her work as a healer, artist, and human.  She finds herself at home in the woods, in places still inhabited by a more feral and unadulterated wisdom and rhythm. Her bodywork is born of this fluid language, healing as a bridge between form and formlessness, said and unsaid, human and nonhuman. Healing is at the core, an art of listening, and bodywork languages us back to the core of our experience which is the nonverbal.

Elena’s training is in integrative massage, polarity, contact improvisation, authentic movement, somatic psychology, matrix leadership, non-violent communication, grief work, body-based sexuality education, physical theatre, herbalism, yoga, reflexology, childbirth support, and abdominal therapies.

She studied at Naropa University and Healing Spirits Massage School, as well as numerous other training grounds and the ever unfolding school of her life. She also practices weaving, writes poetry, and farms. She loves any practice that slows her out of the culture of rushing into an ever more savored and beautiful life. She enjoys nurturing others into these slower rhythms where they can awaken more deeply to their underground waters just waiting to bubble up to feed this modern life. In this way, she also sees the healing arts and her service as a kind of activism towards simple touch-based connection, slowing down, soulful presence, and body-sourced wisdom. She is passionate about healing at the community level, shifting power structures from the inside, finding personal power and choice, living in right relationship with all beings, and a sense of play and curiosity in all things.

Elena loves to travel, dance contact improv, grow food, hike, cook, host gatherings and go to hot springs.

Services provided by Elena:
Private Yoga Classes 60/90/120min, Vinyasa Flow Yoga 90min, Gentle Yoga 90min, Meditation Classes, Wellness Consultation, Integrative Massage 60/75/90min (Reflexology, Trigger Point, Abdominal Work) – Deep Tissue Massage 60/90/120min – Relaxation Massage 60/90/120min, Intuitive Guidance Coaching 60min (Focus on a Question/or Life Issue, consulting with guidance to support deepening wisdom/illumination, somatic inquiry, trauma aware )
