From Uruguay, where she grew up, to the San Juan Islands, where she now resides, Mariana has always been drawn to connection; with people, with nature, and with the simple joys and wonders of life.

Mariana is a lifelong movement practitioner, yoga teacher, and certified yoga therapist. Discovering yoga during her university years, she has been deeply immersed in the practice ever since. Today, yoga continues to be a daily source of guidance, empowerment, and fulfillment for her, both on and off the mat.

Mariana’s teachings are rooted in the philosophy of the 8 Limbs of Yoga. She guides students through a holistic journey; beginning with the way we treat ourselves and others, moving through asana (physical postures) and pranayama (breathwork), and into deeper states of focus, stillness, and inner peace. Her goal is to hold space for students to explore beyond the limitations of the material world and reconnect with their most authentic selves.

Her journey began in 2019 with alignment-based vinyasa in Thailand and deepened with studies in traditional Hatha Yoga and Yoga Therapy in India in 2023 and 2025. She is also a trained Breath-work facilitator and is currently studying Yin Yoga. Mariana strongly believes in the transformational, healing power of yoga and is passionate about sharing the practice’s core principles of positivity, acceptance, love, and compassion.

In 2022, she co-founded Flow Collective, a donation-based community yoga space, alongside a group of friends, with the mission of making yoga more accessible on her island home. The experience of building this community deeply inspired her to open her own yoga studio on the island, a long-held dream that she is incredibly excited to bring to life. Her goal is to create a welcoming space where people can come together to grow, heal, and connect through yoga.

Since 2019, Mariana has been teaching on the islands, leading group classes, offering private sessions, and participating in community events. She’s also spent the past three years running and teaching yoga retreats in Sri Lanka.

A self-described introverted extrovert, Mariana feels most at home by, in, or on the water, living simply and sustainably, surrounded by a supportive, soulful community. When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, you’ll likely find her sailing, swimming in the kelp, hiking with her dog, exploring new countries, sipping tea, or simply sitting on the beach.

Travis Roby Jones is honored to share his offerings at Atma Yoga Studio, weaving together his passion for yoga, embodied awareness, and reflective somatic practice. His insight arises from an active, inquisitive life as a father, yogi, builder, bodyworker, and athlete. Travis began teaching yoga in 2013 on the Big Island of Hawai‘i and has since guided over a thousand hours of practice grounded in Hatha and Vinyasa principles, rooted in the Universal Yoga Mandala lineage of Andrey Lappa. His philosophy and teaching are also informed by the precise alignment and depth of B.K.S. Iyengar and by the wisdom of countless devoted practitionerswho live from the roots of yoga.

An E-RYT 200 yoga instructor, Certified RolferTM, and Licensed Massage Therapist, Travis maintains an active private practice on San Juan Island. His approach is grounded and consequential, yet lighthearted and exploratory- inviting students to meet themselves plainly, with curiosity and innocence. Through years of study and personal practice, Travis has cultivated a deep understanding of the body’s somatic intelligence and our innate capacity for healing. His classes invite vivid, breath-centered explorations of tension and release- fusing Hatha and Vinyasa to honor both stillness and movement. By returning again and again to the breath, we rediscover the relational dance of
awareness that connects us to the living moment and to each other.

Cassedy O’Neill is a speaker and a writer. A poet and a dreamer. She is an arsonist for the soul, dissolving gaps between the worlds in which she dances. She has been traveling and teaching throughout the world in her nomadic lifestyle after completing her 250-hour YTT in Philadelphia in 2017. She empowers all with the invitation of her words and the magnetic force of her personality.

She has co-led multiple yoga teacher trainings and completed formal breathwork training in 2020. Since then, she has been guiding breathwork practices alongside her yoga teaching, offering students tools to deepen presence, regulation, and self-connection. She believes it is one of the greatest gifts of her life to be leading yoga + breathwork classes!

She recently followed a whisper to San Juan Island and is so excited to be teaching at Atma after landing on this magical island in July 2025.

Her classes are empowering, invigorating, and deeply intentional — a love letter to breath, presence, and the art of paying attention. Expect soulful movement, spacious pauses, and invitations to feel it all. Cassedy delights in guiding students on a journey where the mind softens, awareness widens, and the simple truth of being alive is celebrated again and again. goes here

For Jess, yoga is about connection. Connection of breath and movement, between people, with the natural world within and without. As a guide and teacher, her Reiki Master and Irish-Celtic Shamanic healer and ceremonialist trainings and experience interweave with her Yoga training to result in a sweet, embodied, nature based practice. 

Jess’ asana and meditation practice and teaching similarly weave many years of study of a multitude of traditions into a holistic 9 limbs approach. Restorative, slow, quiet classes are her jam, but she also can totally get behind a powerful, dance inspired movement! Jess’ favorite folks to guide in Kirtan or Asana or Meditation practices are those who think that they "aren't flexible enough" or "can't meditate" or “are a terrible singer” and to witness the discovery that none of those things is true!

Introduced to Kirtan early on in her yogic journey, this practice of Bhakti Yoga has been one of Jess’ most powerful personal tools and medicines. Feeling the energy of a group of people chanting together is something entirely special. While western scientific research demonstrates that group singing has significant health benefits, we simply know it in our bones and our hearts!

Shauna has been practicing yoga for over a decade and is excited to be teaching at Atma. As a local land steward and a poet, Shauna’s yoga fuses poetics with movement and stillness to facilitate interoception, connectivity, and deep centering. She is so excited to be bringing her practice to Atma and looks forward to serving her community through embodied expression and self-restoration. 

Patriki teaches Hatha yoga that he trained in while abroad in Rishikesh, India. He honors this traditional style of yoga by incorporating his love of mantras, singing bowls and therapeutic power of yoga. He finds great joy in connecting with the community through classes that aim to restore and enliven our unique impact here and now. Patriki has been teaching at Flow Collective for the past 4 years and is now excited to share classes more regularly at Atma. An avid cycle tourer and actor, who loves dance and make art of all his adventures.

Rose grew up on San Juan Island, has been all over the world, but has never found a place that she loves as much as this little mossy rock in the Salish Sea.

Her healing journey began in earnest after a serious back injury in her early twenties. As a lifelong mover, this sparked an enduring curiosity about how the body adapts, heals and strengthens. She spent many years working in the trades, and has experienced the toll that can take on the body. She started practicing Pilates well over a decade ago when her old back injury returned and threatened to disable her. In many ways Pilates savedher life. It strengthened not just her physical body, but her self-awareness, sense of self and confidence. She wants this for everyone.

Rose received a Master of Science from Prescott College, and since 2015 has worked as a Licensed Mental Health Counseling (LMHC), specializing in Somatic (body-based) Psychotherapy for complex trauma. She starts from the reality that we live in bodies with nervous systems. It is clear to her that effective healthcare requires a truly integrative and personalized approach. Her goal is to meet people where they are, skillfully get to the root of what is ailing, and facilitate effective, lasting change.  Modern science increasingly demonstrates what indigenous people have long known - that all systems are connected – that the mind and body are truly inseparable, and that each of us lives at a unique intersection of ecological, societal, historical, and familial systems.

Last year she undertook the training to become a Certified Mat Pilates Teacher through Balanced Body, with the goal of bringing another level of trauma-informed mind-body care for individuals and groups. The strength that Pilates creates provides a key basefor long-lasting wellness.

When she is not working as a therapist or teaching Pilates, Rose can most likely be found tending her garden, or wandering through the woods and along beaches, likely with her two lil’ dogs. Find out more: wiseselfwellness.com
