RACHEL BONIFACIO, E-RYT 200

                    

The sole owner of Treehouse Yoga, Rach put up the studio in 2015 to pursue her life purpose of changing the world and sharing the healing benefits of yoga and meditation, one class at a time. She has been a yoga practitioner since 2011 and she herself experienced the magic of being a consistent yoga student in all aspects of her life. Rach is an enthusiastic learner, with her interests and practice revolving and evolving around spirituality and psychology.

KIM ARGUELLES-ESPIRITU, RYT 200

                   


Treehouse's resident yoga anatomy geek, Kim is a strong advocate of safety in one's yoga practice. She is a crossfit enthusiast who believes that engaging in multiple movement disciplines is a great way to fuel growth in the disciplines and maintain strength and mobility. Kim's approach to teaching is adjusing the practice to suit the body and mind's needs, and never the other way around. Her greatest wish is for her students to keep practicing well into their 90's and beyond.

A proponent of the "slow is strong" philosophy, Jane's yoga practice focuses on asana foundations and deliberate movement. She enjoys teaching slow and steady flows, sprinkling her classes with creative and challenging poses every now and then. Jane battled a medical condition that prompted her to slow down, and yoga became her way to manage physical pain and cultivate mental and emotional strength. Jane believes that intentional movement and transitions help maximize not only her students' physical resilience, but also improve their mental flexibility, emotional balance, and their connection with their own spiritual anchor.

Taking roots from Vinyasa, Hot Yoga, and meditation techniques as a student in the past seven years, Markee realized his true teacher calling after finding yoga as a place of ease and comfort while he was on a corporate-free lockdown, searching meaning in this “collective healing” journey of the pandemic. His goal is to share his own experience of healing by teaching yoga and mindfulness, one yoga practice at a time. Markee's ultimate joy is bringing the gift of loving-kindness and calm to the community.

FATIMA AL-HUSSAINI


                    


Having started her yoga journey with Treehouse almost at the same time we opened the studio to the public, Foti is one of our true-blue Treehouse Yogis from 2016. Yoga was her gateway to fitness, but she quickly realized it transcended the physical. The practice opened her to caring more for her mental health and strengthening her spiritual connection, leading her to delve into energy and healing work with tarot. Foti uses yoga as a powerful tool to achieve holistic well-being either through active asana flows, meditative classes, or holding space for students to share their stories.
