Rooted in focus, intention, and authenticity, Jamie’s class will help you cultivate your mind-body connection so you can improve your performance in all areas of life.

Her vinyasa classes are centered around these experiences and will guide you through mindful and intentional movement. Jamie earned her 250-Hour certification through shefayoga in 2021. With a lifelong personal practice, she brings valuable experience. She welcomes individuals of all body types, whether you’re an experienced yogi or new to yoga.
Ryan Cooper is a Seattle native. His initial exposure to yoga came through Martial Arts as a youth, offering him a foundation for understanding movement and the mind-body connection. While pursuing his education at the Art Institute of Seattle, Ryan balanced a career as a professional competitor in the World Long Drivers of America.
In 2020, Ryan completed a 200hr Sendatsu training program. This formal training deepened his knowledge of yoga, and he recognized the profound mental and physical benefits that the practice could offer, not only for athletes but for anyone seeking well-being.
Ryan’s classes are known for their worldwide music selection and a thoughtful warm-up progression that gradually challenges participants, earning him the reputation of offering a “sneaky challenge” suitable for individuals of all levels.
Sean’s journey in yoga began from a profound desire to heal and understand the body’s intricate mechanics. He has practiced yoga for over a decade and has been teaching vinyasa for eight years. Drawing inspiration from global teachers, he has embarked on two synergistic educational paths.

This study satisfies his scientific curiosity and desire to heal. Continuously learning, Sean studies with Patrick Beach and Carling Harps (Awakening Yoga) to incorporate intelligent movement patterns that build functional strength and stability. Born on Maui, Sean’s connection to the ocean influences his breath and movement. As a proud father, software engineering leader, and autism awareness advocate, yoga has transformed his life, alleviated chronic pain, and enhanced his overall well-being.

Meg took her first yoga class with her dad when she was 13 years old. As a former college cross country and track runner and avid snowboarder, she always kept some sort of yoga practice in her routine. Meg practiced mostly hot 26 until she found shefayoga in 2020 and began to practice vinyasa on the regular. She was on the path to becoming a special education teacher when she really fell in love with the practice and decided to deep dive into yoga. Meg, studio manager at hauteyoga Queen Anne, offers a slow burn vinyasa. She invites her students to focus on the sensations and feel of the postures in her classes, rather than worrying about striking the perfect pose. Meg believes that yoga is not just about the Asana practice, but that yoga is a lifestyle and a philosophy and she strives to live it on and off the mat.
