Sasha moved to New York City in 1997 from New Haven, Connecticut, and fell in love with yoga shortly thereafter. Thus, Sasha puts a great deal of emphasis on using breath as a tool to help focus the mind and stay present in the moment. She believes that steady yoga practice helps build muscular strength and endurance, loosen joints, and increase overall flexibility, but that the true benefit of yoga lies in its ability to help quiet the “fluctuations of the mind” (“chitta-vritti”). Sasha teaches a flowing vinyasa-style yoga class that emphasizes asanas, pranayama, and precise attention to alignment. But mostly, she teaches, practices, sequences, and obsessively talks about yoga. Jessica is also a part-time engineer and co-founder of My Body Does, an affirming body positive community inspired by the inherent value of all bodies. Teaching yoga to children allows Jessica to witness the pure joy of movement and the power of play-themes that she loves to incorporate into her adult classes. Jessica also has a Kids Yoga certification, and regularly teaches youth ages 1-12 years old. Jessica is currently a student at the NYC based Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers, where she hopes to learn tools for a more comprehensive understanding of yoga asana, modification, and injury prevention. She believes that yoga is for all bodies and strives to make her classes accessible to everyone Using methods learned in a 25-hr Yoga for All training, Jessica encourages students to find compassion for themselves in every posture and in every decision on and off the mat.

In comparison, we believe the BYC model serves to: In most other yoga studios instructors are compensated based on class size or popularity, or paid a flat rate per class. BYC allocates a majority percentage of our studio revenue toward our instructors pay, and each instructor is paid an equal amount per class, based on the shared revenue system. Our support of community is also focused inward to help foster a cohesive relationship between our studio instructors and our studio business, BYC employs a collective payment model.
