meg rohrer (founder)
i am an endlessly curious being whose aim is to uplift & restore through conscious movement initiated and guided by breath.
i have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, first introduced to the discipline in new orleans, louisiana it was not long before I felt the positive impact that a consistent practice brings to ones life. in 2010 I went to my first teacher training in montreal, canada - i studied under the guidance of dina tsouluhas, britton darby, and guillaume brun of modo yoga international. since, I have been fortunate enough to travel - to explore the practice in many different environments & forms all over the world as both a student and teacher. in april of 2016 i founded supta yoga nantucket, where i continue to dedicate myself to this transformative discipline.
most recently I have studied under schuyler grant & jason crandell

paul bruno
paul has been a practicing yoga student for close to thirty years and has been teaching for fifteen. his vinyasa style has been heavily influenced by erich schiffmann and the founding members of sacred movement. his yin teachings come directly from paul grilley, the central figure around which yin yoga spirals.
paul’s yin and vinyasa class revolves around the idea that muscle isn’t the only tissue that needs training, that connective tissue health is as important as muscle health, and that strength and elasticity of muscle tissue, as well as, flexibility at joint level are of equal importance.

While feeling adrift and yearning for some deeper meaning after graduating college Katie found yoga.
As a lifelong athlete she was initially drawn to the physically challenging aspects of the asana but it was the mental and emotional benefits that kept her coming back.
12 years later her relationship to and understanding of the practice have evolved and she delights in the ever-unfolding journey of the 8 Limbed Path.
Katie completed her initial 200Hr Power Yoga training in 2013 and has continued her teaching explorations with trainings in Prana Vinyasa, Restorative Yoga and Trauma Informed. She is also a therapist who has studied contemplative psychotherapy and incorporates some of that knowledge into her teaching philosophy.

kate smith-lin
Kate began her yoga practice during her college years as a complement to sports and other athletic pursuits, and quickly began to more fully appreciate the way that yoga enhanced her mind/body connection. With each return to the mat, Kate found a sense of inner peace and healing that became an integral part of her daily life. She became fascinated with yoga’s history, self-study, and the spiritual elements of the practice, and was called to teaching as a way to share the many benefits of yoga with others.
Kate received her 200-hour teaching certification from YogaKoh in New Zealand, where she studied under lead instructor Xinia Alderson, an Ashtanga method authorized level 2 instructor (granted in Mysore by Ashtanga Guru Sharath Rangaswarmy at the Ashtanga Institute). Kate’s certification course focused on Vinyasa-style yoga, but also incorporated elements of Ashtanga, Yin, and subtle body methods, all of which play a role in her teaching style.
Kate’s classes are intentional, moving meditations, designed to cultivate presence in each moment. As a teacher, Kate seeks to remind others of their inherent wholeness. She is approaches each class with the understanding that there is a student and teacher within each of us, and enjoys the exploration of our unique unions of body, mind and spirit.

ieva aldins
when i took my first yoga teacher training in india, i was asked why i was there. the answer: because every day i practice yoga, is a better day. i passionately believe in the knowledge each of us posses in our bodies. yoga unlocks that knowledge. it works the body on an energetic and a cellular level. my classes are intended to bring students into full presence with themselves, to rejuvenate and leave you feeling refreshed. yoga has the power to transform, to strengthen, to release and to heal. it can be playful, fun and it feels good! my classes are accessible to all levels of practitioners. i am certified in the classical hatha lineage of sivananda yoga, restorative yoga, yoga nidra and aerial yoga.
i love traveling and surfing and connecting with people. yoga has incredible powers to facilitate that connection. I have taught yoga in nantucket, india, central america and spent this past winter in morocco leading yoga and surf retreats. more recently, I was asked why I teach yoga. the answer: because I love helping people feel good, realize their potential, and for the connection I feel through teaching.
