Danielle Charboneau became a student of yoga in 1998, and instantly realized the healing powers the practice had to offer. Once she found yoga, not only did she find her body, but she found her luminosity from within. Living in New York City, Danielle explored many different disciplines of Hatha yoga from Ashtanga and Vinyasa, to Restorative and Iyengar. She has studied extensively at Yoga Works, the Iyengar Institute of NYC, and Yog-gagna in Dehradun, India. Living in LA, Danielle’s practice and teaching has been inspired by Mysore Ashtanga teacher Jodi Blumstein. Her style is thorough, playful, and unpretentious, finding fun in every moment. Her favorite aspect of instructing is guiding students to a place where they feel they can truly let go. Through teaching, Danielle is forever learning from her students – and her students continuously prove to be her most influential teachers.

CJ Frogozo began her yoga journey at Wellesley College in 1998 where she took her first Iyengar class with Louise Colby as a required physical education credit for graduation. Her yoga path led her to Cambridge where she became a devoted student of Baron Baptiste and his intense, heated power Vinyasa flow classes. More education (and anxiety about entering the “real world”) led her to London, England, where she taught Vinyasa flow at the Chelsea Sports Centre while studying for her MA in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art.  Upon moving back to the United States to take a job at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, she discovered YogaWorks, where she later earned her 200-hour teaching certification. She fell in love with Ashtanga yoga under the instruction of Jesse Schein, Jodi Blumstein, Gary Damsky, Dominic Corigliano, Simi Cruz, Sonya Cottle and Jorgen Christiansson. CJ is known for teaching strong and athletic Vinyasa classes; in particular, she loves leading students through inversions and arm balances. In her non-yoga life, CJ has worked in national politics and is anxiously awaiting acceptance into business school.

Ariel took her first yoga class ten years ago and absolutely hated it.  But then upon trying it again several years later, she found yoga to be a deeply profound practice for physical/mental/emotional change and transformation. Then, Ariel was hooked. Having studied at OM Yoga in New York City, several YogaWorks studios throughout LA, as well as Golden Bridge and Liberation Yoga, Ariel has developed an appreciation for both strong physical asana and more subtle approaches to meditation and breath.  She completed the 200-hour YogaWorks Teacher Training with Annie Carpenter and Sonya Cottle; she continues her Pranayama studies with Lisa Walford and Paul Cabanis.  Ariel is currently training for a marathon and developing a yoga program designed specifically for runners. Her classes emphasize precise physical alignment, an openhearted attitude and attention to the present moment. Ariel’s primary intention as a yoga instructor is to help each student merge with the truest teacher possible – the unfailing guide within.

Clay's approach to teaching is exploratory and experiential. Clay completed teacher training at the Center for Yoga (now owned by YogaWorks) in 2001. In 2004, he studied bodywork at IPSB, and in 2007 received an MA in Clinical Psychology in pursuit of licensure as a psychotherapist. Clay continues to draw from the teachings of Julian Walker, Max Strom, Ana Forrest, Brian Kest, Hala Khouri, Christi Minarovich, Steve Walther and so many fellow students that inspire and influence him all of the time. His classes incorporate core work, heat-building movement, deep stretch sequences, mystical poetry and moving music. He encourages students to practice mindfulness - compassionately observing and embodying yourself as you are in this moment, this pose, this breath.  Clay’s long-term goal is to integrate his education and interest in psychology and psychotherapy into a private practice that treats the bodymind holistically.

Tiffany’s love for yoga began 10 years ago. Born and raised in Southern California, the practice of Hatha-style yoga has provided a peaceful balance to LA’s chaos while transforming her mental and physical awareness. Influenced strongly by her teachers Annie Carpenter, Sonya Cottle, Jasmine Lieb, Jeanne Heillman and Amy Lafond and with many thanks to a little push from them, Tiffany followed her heart and enrolled in teacher training at YogaWorks. She has completed her 200-hour training, and is currently enrolled in her additional 300-hours, at YogaWorks. Tiffany’s training has taught her a more in depth way to find the organic balance of playfulness and discipline while focusing on linking the breath with movement in a safe way. Tiffany is grateful for the opportunity to share her experience of this timeless practice with others. She teaches a strong yet welcoming class, empowering her students to find the quietness of their breath within a little work of the body.

At a young age Matt knew he had a passion for the understanding of the human body. This passion sparked the beginning of a more than 16-year journey. He started to learn Tai Chi, nutrition and yoga at 16 years old as a way to aid his high school athletics. The next step in the journey took Matt to San Francisco State University where he earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology/ Biomechanics and a Minor in Holistic Health. At the same time, he deepened his understanding of the Eastern models of health by completing numerous yoga teacher trainings, and a 12-year study of internal martial arts and meditation. Inspired by his new awareness and understanding of a body as a whole system, it only made sense that he went on to earn a Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has a thriving acupuncture and herbal medicine clinic in Sherman Oaks. Matt has dedicated most of his study to the teachings of Krishnamacharya, Shandor Remete, Grand Master Kuo, Dr. Jerry Allen Johnson and the Flow of Nature. Matt is sought after by students for his deep understanding yoga philosophy, his knowledge of human anatomy and his practical application of his extensive studies.
