Sara Gallagher Bloom

My entire life I’ve been fascinated with the human story…

and I've found yoga as a tool to live a better life. For 20 years, I've explored and taught the physical practices, and what it is to make a home in our physical bodies. Recent years have led me towards the science of Kundalini and the rich narrative of Katonah Yoga. Weaving my tools together, I approach teaching these practices as a trinity of mind, body and breath. I enjoy how the physical body houses us, the breath animates us and the mind potentiates us. I believe that no matter where we are in our journeys, that each moment is an opportunity to direct our vital energy and utilize our time in a meaningful way.

Zoja Smutny

I am an artist, energy healer, yoga instructor, and entrepreneur...

...based between Athens, L.A. and Folegandros, Greece. I run a yoga and wellness studio during the summers on the Cycladic Island of Folegandros at Anemi Hotel. It is here that I hosts yoga retreats, and offer my healing touch energy treatments. I am half Greek and half Czech and come from a lineage of female healers. I have been a choreographer and performer for most of my adult life, holding a Masters in Solo Dance Authorship from the Universität der Kunste in Berlin. Through dance, I became more involved in the healing arts, first through yoga, Thai massage, healing touch, reiki and most recently I’ve obtained a certificate as a Holistic Health Practitioner from the Transformational Arts College in Toronto. I’ve traveled, lived, and worked extensively around the world including Thailand, LA, Berlin, Mexico, Spain, Prague, Athens, and Montreal.
