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 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 breathwork facilitator. 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.

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. 

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 Yogaafter landing on this magical island in July.

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
