Laura Beth Lopez

Laura Beth began toying with yoga about 10 years ago, and actually remembers leaving and thinking “what is this magic?!” Fast forward several years, and like many, through a broken heart, broken life, yoga became her mainstay and quickly turned from a sweaty workout into a daily practice of the mind, body and soul.

She has now been teaching yoga since 2015, and can’t believe that she is truly living the dream. She has her ERYT200 and RYT500 certifications, as well as a 200 hr Meditation Teacher Certification. Her education background stems from a Bachelor’s in Education and Spanish language, and a Master’s degree in Counseling. She is amazing at how all of these things have slowly wound together to create this life, and she am eternally grateful. She offers private, public, corporate and bilingual yoga classes.

She has an amazing little girl, who is already turning into the sweetest little yogini. She works her best every day to take things one breath at a time, finding comfort in the discomfort, and treating herself and others with love, kindness, compassion and respect.

David Sunshine

Since childhood David has had a yearning for expansion of consciousness, a passion for somatic embodiment and a willingness to dive deep inside himself. David has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 25 years, and through his love of ancient wisdom teachings he has travelled the globe to study personally with a vast array of master teachers, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, T.K.V. Desikachar, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, and B.K.S. Iyengar.

A deep soul calling has led him to become a bridge between the ancient and modern, as he has built a vibrant yoga and wellness community in his role as the director of the Dallas Yoga Center since 2001 and trained thousands of yoga students and teachers.

He loves exploring yoga as a sacred practice that integrates the body, mind and spirit and as a path towards liberation, awakening and embodiment. In search of wholeness and personal healing and growth David has explored many meditative traditions, energy healing, shamanic journeying and mystical practices.

His calling is to understand the nature of the human mind, how reality works and the mystery of the soul. He loves to dance and use movement as a medicine for healing and enter the spiritual dimension of reality. In his passion to spark the joy and curiosity found in the search for meaning, he has sought how to bring ancient knowledge to the west in the spirit of service to make life better for humans.

He also loves to guide groups to sacred sites, and translate the magnitude of their energetic power. He has led numerous transformational adventures for groups in places such as India, Nepal, Peru, and beyond.

Sandi Tindal

Sandi Tindal comes from a noteworthy career in engineering and has applied the rigorous thinking and creativity she cultivated in that profession to her work as a yoga teacher - with a high degree of sensitivity and care, she skillfully adapts the ancient teachings and tools of yoga to help others experience their personal pathways for health, healing and transformation in the context of modern life. In addition to continuing her professional Yoga Therapist training under Gary Kraftsow of the American Viniyoga Institute, she is actively engaged in supporting the Aquatics Therapy and Rehab Institute with high caliber material for their members to learn how to bring yoga to the aquatic environment as part of their professional tool set.

Sandi is very interested in making yoga accessible for disadvantaged and disabled populations. She has provided yoga classes for residents of a local safe house for survivors of human trafficking and has worked on establishing a partnership with a local VA hospital to enhance their aquatics program with yoga.

Sandi enjoys studying from different wisdom traditions and finds that elements of the yoga sutras appear in palpable, practical ways in the movement of her life when she is really paying attention. She is fascinated by the idea of using the mind to overcome the mind and feels that the depth of meaning in life's moments are infused and hidden in very simple acts - for her, encountering the sacred and the spiritual is about how you are seeing what is happening within you and around you.

Students who have learned about yoga and mentored under her have enjoyed the high-level of attention she gives to detail and nuance to support their understanding and personal development, as well as the concrete feedback and encouragement she provides them for their next steps. Anyone who has a leaning toward sharpening their understanding of sequencing asana and movement biomechanics, an interest in delving more into the link between pranayama and physiology, and/or a desire to experience integrating chanting and meditation in their personal practice to support mental-emotional health, will find their time with Sandi to be fruitful and enriching.
