YOGI/OWNER
A yoga mat, a perfect place to find yourself your spirit, and your soul. A daily practice allows for growth, and transformation,
and most importantly to have the every day journey of life be at greater ease and harmony.
Deb is fun, grounded and full of life
Her professional life began as a social worker, her job focused on issues of trauma, abuse, addictions....
She did not get a lot of sleep during those years but wouldn’t trade that work for anything. What she learned was that the resilience and
the power of the human spirit is unmeasurable and indescribable
She was honored 6 years ago to be asked to become a Livestrong group facilitator at the YMCA, to help cancer survivors navigate. guide, and
offer encouragement as they travel through their journey with strength, dignity, and grace
As a result of this work, she has joined forces with Cape Wellness Collaborative an amazing organization that services not only cancer survivors and
their families, but the medical professionals as well. She looks forward to having YofYP studio be a part of something so important and dear to her heart
She has had yoga in her life for many years but in more recent years, when she made it a daily practice she saw how much it was impacting her personal
life experience, she knew it was something she wanted to share.
Deb holds a 200 hour Zen Yoga certification through Zen Wellness/Medical QiGong , a 300 hour Yoga Alliance certification from Jacqui Bonwell’s Sacred Seeds Yoga School, certifications in Hatha Yoga, Clinical Informed Restorative Yoga, and is a certified Livestrong group facilitator at the YMCA, a wellness program servicing cancer survivors on Cape Cod.
At the end of day, relationships are what she values the most, she is filled with gratitude and love for her family and amazing friends, they are truly the most
genuine, kind, and authentic human beings; they make the world a better place to live❤️
She hopes that her studio provides a place where people are able, through yoga and community, to recognize their personal power in their
lives as they venture down their path.
Di Kelley Sayers
YOGI
Diane began her journey into a yoga over the last decade to not only help relieve the pressure of a busy career but also the mounting stress of a parent suffering from Alzheimer’s and the oncoming depression of the other parent as a result.
‘Ironically life started to make more sense when I was lying on the floor. I felt supported on my mat and through my practice began to wring out toxins in my body from all the anger I was holding onto. Through a simple and mindful practice I began to gain an overall sense of well-being’.
Diane received her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in 2016 and completed her 300hr YTT in 2021 with the Chakra Power Yoga Collective in Waltham. She is a 500hrRYT with Yoga Alliance.
She is also the owner of blu bodhi, a growing online wellness business and specializes in Health and Wellness Coaching as well as Wellness Events and Services.
Diane teaches an all levels vinyasa flow working energetically through the chakras and finishing with a delicious 7 minute svasana so don’t leave class early. 😉
Students have agency over their practice, up-leveling and modifying to the needs of their body and practice. Students are also welcome to take child’s pose for the duration of class if this is what your body and soul need on a given day.

Tiana
Tiana, RYT 200, began practicing yoga in 2017 but it wasn't until the fall of 2018 that it became a full time practice for her. After struggling with depression for years and normally using the gym as an escape, she realized how beneficial yoga was to her mental health as well as the physical. Learning to connect the breath to movement has taught her how to create mental space and clarity, both on and off the mat. Finally finding what sparks the light inside her she realized she wanted to help others ignite their own. She decided to pursue her teacher training with The Heron Dance, Yoga and Meditation Studio and received her certification in the fall of 2020. Her favorite style to teach is Vinyasa with a focus on mindfulness and releasing any judgements of the self and others. Her hope is to help guide her students to build the best version of themselves and cultivate compassion through their practice.
Marty Zurn
YOGI
Marty, RYT 200, first started practicing yoga over thirty years ago while living in Minnesota. Five years later she moved with her husband and two young children back to her home town of Yarmouth. Always involved in fitness, whether hiking, sports or the gym, Marty knew at once yoga brought a whole other dimension to wellness. Two years ago, she pursued her passion and received her 200 hour yoga teacher training from Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and is currently working towards her 300 hour certification. Believing yoga is for everyone, not just the fit or flexible, Marty seeks to spread the benefits of yoga to all those curious and open to explore. Her classes incorporate various styles of mediation, breath work and movement with a sense of joy, gratitude and a sprinkle of humor.
Allow yoga to help deepen self awareness of the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual aspects of your life. Enjoy the balance and harmony that yoga can bring!

A bell that motivates her to reach out to all others and help out with humanity DAILY.
