Our Teachers
Jamie Shane C.Y.T.

Jamie Shane is the owner- operator of Bija.  "Bija" is the seed sound of the Universe. It
is the seed, or the place from which all things come. I find that yoga is just such a seed, and
we encourage it to grow here in whatever shape or form it takes.
Yoga came to me through the generous gift of my great friend Pat Eidenmiller just
as she was coming to her certification in 1998.  I study with her still. My own call to
teach came in 2002 when I went to learn from Guruji Yogi Hari at his ashram in
Miramar, Florida.  It was the most powerful experience of my life.  I try to bring this
power into my own classes through breath and focus, gratitude and strength.  I like
to think that my teaching style is smooth and deep, filled with creative vinyasa and
wonderful release.
Yoga is truly the seed of my life.

Kathy Ruch C.Y.T.

Kathy originates from the Big Apple where
she minored in Physical Education and majored
in Fashion Merchandising. " I am a person who
deeply believes that if you want to feel good as
you age, you have to devote some time and
energy in that pursuit.   Growing old does not
mean that you have to lose flexibility."
Yoga stretch is designed for all bodies and any
age. You can start at 25 or 65 and receive a
gentle workout designed to give all muscle
groups a great stretch.  
Kathy is proud to be member of the Bija staff
and even prouder to be Jamie Shane's mother.
