Instructors
Jennifer Wu-Ho
Jennifer started practicing yoga to add to her active lifestyle, however, it didn’t take long for the love affair with yoga to take hold. She found that it forced her to look within and accept her entire self. In addition, this is a lifelong practice as we continue to grow and evolve. Yoga became a constant refuge to relieve stress, build strength, and as a moment for self-care.
Michelle Erby
Michelle is a certified group fitness instructor - teaching for over 35 years. She received her 500 hour Yoga Certification in 2013, the year she retired from American Airlines. Since 1999 she’s worked part time teaching yoga, Pilates, chair yoga, and Silver sneakers at the YMCA. As a Healthy Lifestyle coach for the Arlington-Mansfield YMCA, she facilitates Diabetes prevention classes and Lunch & Learn nutrition workshops.
Dayna Henderson
Dayna opened a yoga studio in Midlothian Texas. Owning her studio allowed Dayna to serve and make a difference in her community - something she is passionate about. She still cherishes the memories she made - on and off the mat. Since selling her yoga studio, Dayna has enjoyed teaching kids yoga, beer yoga, goat yoga, chair yoga, and in private parties. She loves the experience of bonding over yoga. Dayna is also a licensed realtor, which pays the bills and allows her to pursue her passion of teaching yoga. Dayna is a proud single mom of 2 beautiful children. Motherhood keeps her
Tarka Sullivan
In 2010, Tarka sought support for my health and wellness through nutrition as she faced increasing effects of having Hepatitis C for over 20 years. After finding a treatment and renewed hope for the future, she returned to my yoga practice. She enjoyed the connections with the other students and started teacher training with Om Yoga Journey in 2017. She is now a 500RYT and an Ayurveda Lifestyle Counselor.
Cecilia Barham
Cecilia, teaching yoga since 2010, first discovered yoga as a powerful tool to keep her body healthy. After finding the mental and spiritual benefit of practicing yoga, she was inspired to begin teaching others in order to share the profound mind and body healing yoga offers. Cecilia, who’s first love was the library, has been working in libraries for 30 years and is currently a public library director. She loves books and sharing book recommendations with others. She feels at home out of doors and loves to travel with her high school sweetheart (now husband of 25 years). She has three dogs
