Satya offers Yoga as a means of collective and personal liberation and decolonization. She infuses dynamic alignment, chanting, storytelling, and community-building into her classes. She recently completed a 2 year mindfulness teacher training program led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. She is deeply grateful for all her teachers including Spring Washam, Sianna Sherman, Abby Tucker, Rob Preece, and Sally Kempton. Honoring the traditions of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, and Tibetan Buddhism, she empowers multiracial, multi-gender, and multigenerational groups to awaken their true nature of awareness and bliss.
Jose Entrekin (He/She/They) is a passionate yoga instructor based in Oakland, and raised in San Diego, CA, dedicated to creating an inclusive and empowering yoga experience for individuals of all genders and backgrounds. With a foundation in Hatha-based training, Jose weaves together yogic history, philosophy, and practical elements such as body mechanics and alignment. Their classes extend beyond the physical, incorporating breathing techniques and meditation to cater to a diverse range of practitioners. As a Yoga Alliance 500 RYT, Jose brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the mat. Since 2019, they have been guiding various classes, including Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Restorative, Yin, and Tone & Sculpt. Their commitment to making yoga accessible is reflected in their work with MiraCosta College, UC Berkeley, and contributions to the Wounded Warriors Project/Operation Homefront, Immigrants Rising, and many other community organizations. Rooted in the belief that yoga should honor its cultural origins and connect practitioners to the earth, Jose's teaching philosophy emphasizes both physical and spiritual well-being while also working to decolonize his/her/their practice, with a special focus on creating a safe and affirming space for women, people of the global majority, and the Queer and Trans community.
