Rachel
Rachel has been practicing yoga as long as she can remember having discovered her mom’s
VHS tapes (remember those 
) as a child. She was certified as an RYT in 2020 & in 2021
certified in the 26x2 hot yoga style. Her classes are grounded in anatomy & alignment, focusing
on safely building postures to achieve the benefits while working towards the ultimate
expression of the pose. She reminds her students that every body looks and moves differently
and that understanding one’s own body, using props & modifications, helps them find the
posture in their own way, safely & effectively.
She teaches a variety of styles, Hatha, 26x2/Bikram, Yin, Restorative, Vinyasa, Power, Chair,
Mediation & Yoga Nidra. She brings elements of different styles into her classes to introduce her
students to some of the other amazing aspects of Yoga, beyond just Asana practice.
When not practicing & teaching, she spends her time exploring the outdoors with her husband
and dog, growing her own food forest here in the desert, and reinventing furniture & other
objects giving them a new life.
Alexia
I’m a 200-hour certified yoga instructor who completed my training in India in October 2025. On my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my dog, spending time outdoors—probably with a coffee in hand, reading, or attending a dance class. I have always had a love for movement, the outdoors, and exploring new cultures. Yoga has existed in my life for quite some time but without the deep understanding. My yoga journey deepened during a retreat in 2024, where I felt called to share yoga as a way of living, both on and off the mat.
After exploring many forms of movement and always returning to dance for joy, I found a deep connection through asana—especially vinyasa—where mind, body, and spirit come together. Yoga taught me grace, presence, and trust in myself.
My teaching centers on intention, breath, and compassion as tools for practice on and off the mat. I believe these bring union—the true meaning of yoga—and that every practice is personal and looks different for each person. Sharing yoga is my karma yoga, and I’m honored to support students in moving, reflecting, and growing in ways that feel authentic to them.
Alonso
Arizona native ,at a crucial turning point in my life, I made the decision to embark on a dedicated journey of yoga practice. This transformative choice has had a deep impact on every aspect of my life. With my focus primarily on vinyasa-based flow, I completed my training during the winter of 2022, and I conducted my inaugural class on Valentine's Day in 2023.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the essential elements of alignment, breath, and fostering a profound connection with one's own body. I firmly believe that human potential knows no bounds, as long as individuals possess unwavering self-trust. Consequently, I passionately encourage my students to safely explore their personal boundaries, embracing challenges as opportunities for growth, while simultaneously cultivating a positive inner dialogue that serves as a catalyst for overcoming self-imposed limitations.
In my classes, you can anticipate a nurturing environment that promotes encouragement and authenticity, allowing you to truly be yourself. By the conclusion of each session, you will experience a deep sense of contentment and inner peace that can only be described as blissful.

Jenn completed a 200 hr. YTT in San Diego in 2016 and went on to teach yoga on the beach at The Catamaran and taught private corporate classes during her time in San Diego. After returning to Arizona in 2021 she knew she wanted to reconnect to her personal practice and was eager to participate in the 200 hr. training with Yoga Pura.
Yoga has helped her navigate the hardest time of her life and kept her mind in a healthy place and she loves to share that tool with others. Jenn understands how profound a yoga practice can be not just to feel good in the body but to liberate the mind from struggles and to find inner peace.
She has a wide variety of offerings from different types of asana practices such as vinyasa, yin and restorative practices, as well as Yoga Nidra meditation, facilitating Cacao ceremonies, and sound baths.

Joy
Joy has over 30 years of experience in dance and movement. She believe that Belly dancing connects women to their body, mind and spirit. When a woman feels beautiful and one with her body she is able to gain confidence and control of her body.
There are fluid movements in belly dancing that loosens up the hips, pelvis and over body, and there are also rigid movements that tighten. She is really looking forward to a beautiful journey with you all!
