The Teachers

Sandy Adler the owner, and primary teacher at Freedom Yoga, is a certified teacher of Anusara.  She has taught meditation since 1977 and for the past twelve years has taught Anusara Yoga and meditation at the University of Oregon in Eugene.  Currently she is finishing her third year of deep study with Paul Muller Ortega and is delighted to share the wisdom of the Tantric text with you.  Her passion for life is contagous to anyone she meets.  She created this beautiful studio to give students and the community a place to nuture themselves and to release the stress of life.  "At Freedom Yoga you will learn to embody your innate goodness while being present with the responsibilities of modern life."

Michele Bulgatz is a certified Anusara Yoga Teacher. Michele has studied with John Friend since 1997 and finds Anusara Yoga to be "a rockin' place to be." She brings a love of life to her yoga teaching, embracing the philosophy of looking for the good in everything and everyone. She inspires with humor and enthusiasm helping each student to seize the moment. She is supported by her teacher John, her friends and family and her bountiful garden. Michele's new website where you can see her up to date classes and workshops is www.yogamichele.com

Kelly Merrill is an Anusara Inspired Yoga, loves life and wants everyone to celebrate life everyday! She practices Anusara Yoga and is currently studying in depth the philosophy and principles of Anusara Yoga. She has studied closely with Certified Anusara Master teachers, Sandy Adler owner of Freedom Yoga, Sianna Sherman from San Fransisco, Skeeter Tichnor from Maui, Karen Sprule-Francovich from Coeur D' Alene, and of course the WONDERFUL John Friend!!!  She is also the Sales Rep for Kombucha Mama a local Kombucha Tea from Bend OR!

Kate Ball took her first yoga class in high school and, like many newcomers, worried that she was "not flexible enough" to be a serious student of yoga.  Fortunately, her curiosity got the best of her and she continued to explore a variety of yoga styles, including Bikram, Sivananda, Kundalini, and Vinyasa Flow.  In 2005, Kate took a class from Donna O'Neil, which introduced her to Anusara philosophy and alignment principles.  From here, her curiosity took root and blossomed into a deep passion.  While teaching English in Thailand, Kate discovered the true meaning of "kula" (Sanskrit for community) at Wild Rose Studio in Chiang Mai, where she had the opportunity to study with many talented yoga teachers from around the world, including Anusara-certified teacher, Jonas Westring.  Upon returning home in 2009, she was delighted to connect with the beautiful kula at Freedom Yoga.  Kate took part in the 100 hour Freedom Yoga Immersion, taught by Anusara-certified yoga teachers, Sandy Adler and Michele Bulgatz.  She then completed a 108 hour Anusara Yoga Teacher Training program at Garden Street Yoga in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. This training was taught by Anusara-certified yoga teachers, Karen Sprute-Francovich and Christina Sell.  She has also taken workshops on Tantric yoga philosophy from Dr. Paul Muller-Ortega and Dr. Douglas Brooks.  On and off the mat, Kate has experienced the transformational energy of sadhana (practice) in her own life. She is honored to share that practice with others though her teaching."
