Meet Our Team
Gale Clark - (owner) has worked for over 20 years at the Toledo Hospital. Gale has been a student of natural health for the last 15 years. She is certified in Reiki, Crystalline Consciousness Technique and Hypnotherapy. Tory Jacobs - is a certified Hatha Yoga and Yoga Playgrounds (K-5) teacher. She loves to teach classes that uplift the spirit, bring tranquility to the mind and restore suppleness to the body. Along the way she hopes to help people in their individual journeys of self discovery on and off of the mat! Her philosophy is simple: Every body is beautiful; coming with its own unique set of gifts and challenges. Mastering these dualities within ourselves physically and spiritually is how we grow into the fullest, most complete versions of ourselves. Learning to accept our difficulties and nurture our souls helps to lessen the stress factors in our daily lives. This in turn leads to a longer, healthier and happier life. The key has been within you all along. All you have to do is turn inward. Yoga helps to do this by quieting the mind through focused breathing and exercise. It is in this stillness that one can become most in touch with the inner self. Tory enjoys sharing the gift of deep relaxation with her students through breathwork and guided meditation techniques. Classes will be tailored around the level of the students present. Beginners are always welcome! The new to yoga student will be in an environment where they can feel completely at ease to experience all that yoga has to offer.

Tammy’s group yoga classes are taught in the flowing Vinyasa style and emphasize the principles of alignment. Focusing on connecting with the breath, these yoga classes become a moving meditation and a dance of the inner self. The classes deeply explore pranayama (breath), asanas (postures), and relaxation techniques in a positive and tranquil environment.
By encouraging proper body alignment, Tammy’s students are working in the safest and the most challenging way. A number of variations are given to accommodate different levels within one class. A dedicated practice helps to improve posture, increase strength and flexibility, release tension, develop new physical awareness, and heighten concentration. Tammy guides her students to explore the union between the body, mind, and spirit and with this opens the door to self-discovery.
