Earthsong Yoga Instructors
Gail Cannon E-RYT 500 is a Kripalu certified Yoga instructor with over 40 years of yoga practice and 25 years of teaching experience. Kripalu is the yoga of compassion and deeper awareness. Gail takes this compassion into her Ashtanga practice as well, making it both dynamic and nurturing. She has been practicing meditation for over 45 years and has studied several styles.
Gail has studied the Ashtanga system (first and second series) with the late Sri K Pattabhi Jois, his grandson Sharath and his son Manju Jois. She took three months in 2003 to study with Tim Miller in Encinitis, CA. She continues to study with Nancy Gilgoff for a deeper understanding of the healing aspects of yoga.
Gail traveled to India to study in 2005 and 2006.

Heather Brown (Kripalu RYT200) – Heather has been a dancer and a mover for her entire life. Living with Cystic Fibrosis, staying active is not only enjoyable, but also an important part of staying healthy. After fracturing her femur in a motorcycle accident in 2010, she was looking for a less competitive way than dance to regain her active lifestyle. Yoga became that bridge. Through the practice of yoga, she has regained the mobility, strength and acceptance that were once thought to be lost forever. Last summer, she decided to take the plunge and become a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. In her classes, she draws upon her body awareness from being a dancer and ballet teacher to articulate clear yoga instruction with the kindness and acceptance that Kripalu practice is known for. She is hoping to give her students an opportunity to reconnect with themselves through the practice of yoga.
Eileen Nikopoulos, E-RYT 500 is interested in all dimensions of wellness and has been teaching yoga for more than a decade.
She started out working in exercise science and nutrition, which is what some people refer to as traditional medicine. From there, her inner compass drew her toward other wellness practices including yoga, Thai Yoga Massage and mindfulness-based meditation. Eileen’s yoga story is one of personal growth and discovery along a path that has not always been straight. But looking back it’s easy to see how it all fits together - uniting ancient traditions with modern science to create a meaningful experience in every class.
This is why Eileen especially loves Yin Yoga. Yin Yoga brings together the modern science of myofascial research with mindfulness, Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and pranayama. To find out more about Yin Yoga with Eileen, please checkout “Yin Yoga for Body and Mind” under class descriptions.
Eileen became RYT-500 certified in Yoga of Energy Flow with Daniel Orlansky and studied Yin Yoga with Josh Summers in 2014. She also completed Josh’s Traditional Chinese Medicine for Yin Yoga training. She is a certified Roll Model® instructor, a Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner, and a certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. Eileen is an ongoing student of pranayama traditions and techniques and teaches pranayama to aspiring yoga teachers. When she’s not teaching or learning something new about yoga and wellness you are likely to find her on a bike. Paved or unpaved, there are many roads to explore!
Carol Waite-I began taking yoga classes in 2000 because of an old knee injury. After my first class I felt an immediate improvement and knew there was more to this yoga then "stretching".
After several years of taking class and deepening my own practice I began teacher training. I became a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher in 2002 and have continued to deepen my practice with Advanced Teacher Training and by becoming a Certified Yoga Therapist in 2014.
Before becoming a yoga teacher I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business in 1983 and worked as a computer programmer.
Since I began teaching I have worked at several different studios in metro west Boston and shared Svaroopa® yoga with hundreds of students. Contact me for more information and join me for a class. You can be next to experience the benefits of Svaroopa® yoga.
We are OPEN!!! We have classes in Studio and on line. Please pre register for all classes at least 30 minutes prior to class. In the event of inclement weather, classes will be on line.
Annette (Annapurna) Zucco-Certified Svaroopa Yoga Teacher® CSYT-700hrs Embodyment® Yoga Therapist
I discovered Svaroopa ® yoga in 2004. To my amazement I was able to release in poses, and I was able to do poses that I was unable to do before. As I continued practicing Svaroopa® yoga my chronic back and knee pain went away, and I felt calmer and more centered. I began teacher training at the Svaroopa Vidya Ashram in 2008 and have been teaching locally since.
Continuing and Experience Yoga Classes, Thursday mornings, 10:30- 12:00. Students do require teacher permission to attend.
