BECKY BATTERSHELL
Hi! My name is Becky Battershell. Yoga has been part of my life for the last 8 years. My practice has not only helped me grow stronger physically and emotionally but also helped me recognize the importance of slowing down and living in the here and now. Yoga inspires me to live more mindful. I completed my RYT-200 training at Cyndi Simpsons’ Midland Yoga Works which was heavily (Iyengar) asana (posture) based training. I am Uunata aerial yoga trained. I am currently studying a Kundalini (spiritual Yoga) based teacher training. The thing I love most about yoga is that there is always more to learn. I know I can study it for the rest of my life and always learn something new. I love yoga because it is unique to each person who practices and together we can share our experiences and knowledge. In my class I hope to help you feel more grounded, tuning into your own bodies needs and guiding you through a practice that will nurture your body and feed your soul. My hope when is that when you step off the mat you feel refreshed, balanced and inspired.

MARY BLAIN
Hola! My name is Mary Del Carmen Estrada Blain, call me Mary. I received my 200 HR training from our own rOMing Yoga Teacher Training Program. Growing up, I was aware of my spiritual needs. I am curious and a seeker. I am originally from Venezuela, South America. I came to the USA, my new beautiful country in 1999.  I had a great amount of anxiety and depression after I moved to the USA. I started meditating and during that journey, I learned about yoga. Yoga has changed my life, my physical abilities, my surrounding, and it has a ripple effect on those around me in the most positive amazing ways. I am overjoyed to become a part of rOMing Yoga and the amazing group of female leaders in our community. Please come and join us, the mat is waiting when you are ready. I would like to participate in your practice. Si quieres clases en español, por favor contactanos.

TERRY HURT
My yoga journey began 2016. I believe we all come to yoga seeking something. Everyone wants to improve their quality of life. I began yoga to add more flexibility to my body but yoga is so much more than movement. The surprising thing about yoga is how it calms your mind and brings you to a place of acceptance. I found yoga at a time in my life when I needed that. Yoga has become an important part of my daily life. After studying and practicing yoga for about 4 years I began my teacher training in September of 2019 at Midland Yoga Works and received my 200 Hour RYT certificate in May of 2020. Yoga is a lifelong learning experience and I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned and learning so much more!

NANCY BORRELLI
I am a RYT 500, E-RYT200, YACEP. practicing for over 20 years, teaching for over 7. My practice started in Massachusetts – a place I called home for 50 years. Yoga came along at a time when I needed some grounding and connection. There was a small Sikh community in my town that opened up their Ashram for the practice of Kundalini yoga. I began my practice after an injury realizing that conventional medicine was not enough. I started exploring Iyengar, Hatha, Bikram, and Vinyasa to name a few. After moving to West Texas, I fulfilled one of my dreams by becoming a RYT at Midland Yoga Works. My easy going nature encourages beginners, as well as those with experience to feel confident in and challenged while keeping them safe with my alignment based teaching. When a student goes beyond their comfort zone and are capable of far more than they thought possible, I know I have made the right choice in teaching. When we call upon this pure strength that resides within us, and we use it both on and off the mat, we step into our power. I invite you to practice with us – the only requirements are a mat, open mind and heart, and a vision for yourself.

CHELSEA EYLER
I am a 200 HR RYT and certified SUP Yoga instructor. I received my certifications from BIG Power Yoga in Houston. I have completed Baptiste level one with Baron Baptiste. I started my yoga journey in 2012. I loved the challenge yoga presented to me. I could feel my body wringing out in each pose. I stepped on to my mat knowing yoga would help the endurance of my body and what I learned was that I could use yoga to interrupt any stressful or negative thoughts. Yoga is the practice of yoking the mind and body together as one. Rooming Yoga was a vision that came to me at the end of my teacher training. In my mind yoga should be everywhere and was designed for every-body. It was when I moved to Odessa that starting a mobile yoga studio came to life. My own personal journey has always led me to service for others. Teaching to me is a co-created collaborative process with my students. In my teaching I challenge my students to play outside of their comfort zones and move past resistance to reach a deeper practice. I teach powerful flow in which your breath will become a tool to connect to your body.

STEPHANIE MAPLES
I have been in and out of the fitness industry for over 20 years as a group fitness instructor, personal trainer and nutrition coach. I am an ISSA certified elite trainer who attended yoga classes and practiced yoga at home for muscle recovery. When I realized yoga was not only helping my body, but my mind and spirit, I became an RYT200. As my passion grew, I began attending yoga classes and workshops locally as well as around the state. rOming Yoga became my home very quickly. Yoga has helped me push through dark and trying times by connecting mind and body, yes; it has also allowed me to walk an enlightened spiritual journey I didn’t realize I needed. My classes are mostly chakra based in order for students to be able to balance not only their physical well being, but their emotional, mental and spiritual wellness as well. Yoga is a never ending learning experience, and I am currently in training to obtain my RYT300 and see where my next adventure in odyssey takes me!

BLAISE MYERS
Although I had dabbled in yoga while completing my Master’s degree in Public Health, it wasn’t until I became a stay-at-home homeschooling mom that I got serious about my practice. When rOming Yoga opened, I was excited to see a dedicated space for yoga in Odessa of all places! One of my first classes, the instructor told us to take a moment just for ourselves and it was so profound to hear someone tell me to do that after years spent being a mother and dealing with anxiety and bodily illness. I obtained my yoga teaching certification through Midland Yoga Works in 2020 and have been teaching at rOming ever since. I believe that yoga can not only change your body, but is a highly effective tool for fighting mental hardships, accepting our imperfectly perfect bodies, and enacting change. I want students to feel empowered to overcome difficulties in their bodies and minds and to share that ability with those around them.
