Instructors
Tami
Tami practices yoga to help her body and mind connect on the mat. Tami leads a slow flowing class so the student can hold the poses while being mindful in that pose. Tami is a hands on teacher, touch is a human connection and helping others achieve their best pose for them is when you see the smile on their faces... that is what inspires Tami to teach yoga.
Bob
Bob has a passion for yoga and sharing it with others. Bob loves working with new students and people who have never experienced yoga before. He has the patience to explain what you should be doing on your mat, where you should be feeling the pose, and how the pose benefits you. Using the Chinese meridians in his practice, Bob helps us to understand why our bodies feel the way they do while practicing yoga.
Doug Howie
Doug began his yoga journey more than 20 years ago as the result of a sports injury (Judo). That lead to a lifelong synergy between his love of martial arts and the practice of yoga for its restorative nature. After 10+ years of regular practice, Doug completed his 200-RYT certification. Ultimately, the spiritual transformation of teaching led him to his wife, Va, who is also a 200-RYT yoga instructor.

Bob and Tami started the Prison Yoga Project in Vanderburgh County, Indiana
Bob and Tami started the Vanderburgh County Work-Release Yoga Program as a SEVA Project as part of the 200-hour yoga training in July of 2016. Bob earned his Prison Yoga Project certification for yoga instructors in Tampa Bay, FL, back in 2017 and Bob bonded immediately with James Fox, founder of Prison Yoga Project out in San Diego, CA. Rob Schware has been instrumental in helping our yoga program grow with a donation of 15 yoga mats in 2019. Then again in 2022, we requested 20 more yoga mats for our private classes for the in-patient groups of men and women from our tri-state that come to yoga to destress and find ways to cope with life in stressful situations. These two men have had a hand in helping Bob and Tami grow the yoga program for the Vanderburgh County Jail Work-Release Program. Tami took her teacher training in St. Louis, MO, with Bill Brown, also a certified Prison Yoga Program yoga teacher who was taught by James Fox out in San Quentin Prison, CA.
