Carrie Hura, NCTMB, E-RYT 500 of Transform Yoga and Massage
Carrie is a Registered Yoga Teacher, (E-RYT 500), and Nationally Certified massage therapist, who began her interest in the healing arts and yoga over 15 years ago. While living in California, Carrie became interested in yoga and had her first massage-she was hooked! She began her formal training in massage therapy at Irene's Myomassology Institute in Southfield, MI in 1998. There she studied aromatherapy, prenatal massage and became a Reiki Master. She went on to study through the Upledger Institute Craniosacral Therapy.
Through her own healing with yoga, she realized that she was offering it to her massage clients as a way to manage physical pain and for stress relief. She then decided to become a yoga teacher. She trained at Rising Sun Yoga in Southgate, MI.
Realizing the wonderful benefits of meditation for herself, she became a meditation teacher with the Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago, IL. Continuing with the therapeutic aspects of yoga, she completed her 500 hour certification with a specialty in Yoga Therapy at Ananda Seva in Santa Rosa, CA in 2007. She trained in Yoga of the Heart: Cardiac and Cancer Certification, with Nischala Joy Devi, the creator and former director of Stress Management of Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease. Her latest trainings were Trauma Sensitive Yoga for people suffering all forms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Street Yoga, a way to share yoga outside a typical studio setting.
Carrie is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher through the Yoga Alliance, and a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, as well as the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals. Some of her recent featured classes and workshops have included Beginning Meditation, Yoga Foundations, Yoga for Asthma, and an 8 week Yoga of the Heart and Chakra Yoga series.

Destiny Dorazan, RYT 200
When people are surprised to learn how old I am, I often say that I haven’t aged since I started practicing yoga 12 years ago. I thought yoga would be easy, given my dance background, but I was completely wrong! When I took my first class, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. But the next day I felt fabulous - and there was an inner peace and stability that was deeply beneficial and I knew I needed to develop it further. My yoga practice has grown through several different types of yoga, three states, lots of gurus, books, and so many sweaty yoga clothes.
Yoga has given me the strength and focus to feel gratitude in the face of challenges, of which I have had my fair share just like all of you. This calming and steady inner practice is what got me through the triumphs and hardships and what keeps me coming back. It has seen me through loss, the rigors of graduate school, and single motherhood and it continues grow, to help me face every day with a smile and unwavering optimism about the mystery and miracle of being human.
These days, in addition to my yoga practice, I work in a private clinic as a Master’s level Psychologist. Much of my time after work is spent with my daughter, or outside in my garden growing organic vegetables and herbs for family and friends, or inside working on my latest poem or playing guitar.
I feel so grateful to share this gift of yoga with all of you. It would be lovely to see you in class, whether I am calling out poses or rolling out my mat next to you!

Katy Hinz, RYT 200
Katy Hinz is a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance. She has taught yoga in corporate, studio and private settings since 2008. Katy is focused on helping her students deepen their own practice by accepting each moment and each pose as it is, in order to explore the deeper truth within. She feels that life is constantly evolving, and this evolution can be observed through yoga. Some days "yoga" means resting a sore body with restorative poses, or just going for a simple walk and listening to one's breath. Katy loves to share yoga as a practice that nourishes the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
