Noele is the owner of Serenity Now Yoga and the primary teacher at the studio. She has been teaching yoga full time since 2002. Noele completed her teacher training in 2002 in Memphis, TN through New York City based OM Yoga and it\'s director Cyndi Lee. Shortly after completing her training she moved to the Charleston area to be closer to her in-laws and the beach. Originally a born and bred Jersey girl, Noele moved to Memphis in 1995 to pursue her career in corporate accounting and financial reporting for International Paper Company. Her corporate experience taught her many valuable life skills, but she finds teaching yoga to be much more rewarding on many different levels.
Noele considers her students to be her greatest teachers, but is also deeply grateful for the teachings of Cyndi Lee, Andrey Lappa, Rodney Yee and Georg Feuerstein. Noele has found yoga to be her personal path towards living as a more fully evolved human being and finds it a great privilege to be able to share the experience of her own journey with others. She lives in Mt Pleasant with her husband Tom, Colbie, their sweet little yogi Chihuahua and kitties Penelope and Charlie (also natural yogis.)

Tom began his own yoga practice at the urging of his wife Noele. A 1990 Citadel graduate with an MBA in Finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Tom earns his living in the corporate world, but his passion is teaching yoga. He completed his teacher training with Cyndi Lee, owner and director of OM Yoga in NYC and is a registered yoga teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
Tom believes that the practice of yoga holds great benefits for people from all walks of life and is dedicated to sharing this knowledge and experience with others.

Jordan began her yoga practice as a counterbalance to the stress of trying to make it as an artist/freelancer in New York City. After moving to Charleston in 2004, she completed teacher training at Holy Cow Yoga and Holistic Center in an effort to deepen her own practice, and in the process discovered a love for teaching and sharing the profound mental and physical benefits of yoga with others. Taking classes at Serenity Now Yoga, Jordan found she always learned something new and was thrilled when Noele invited her to join the teaching staff there.
Jordan's classes are a combination of breath, movement, focus, and exploration/play. She is drawn to vinyasa flow with a strong focus on alignment both in and between postures, but she also loves breaking it down and exploring alignment, sometimes with props or partners. She is inspired by all of her students and teachers, with some of her main influences being Dharma Mittra, Edward Clark, and Andrey Lappa. Jordan can often be found playing around upside down, sometimes with her life partner Clayton who is a dedicated yogi himself. She is a firm believer that the practice of yoga (all 8 limbs of it!) can enhance anyone's quality of life, and enjoys working one on one with students who have special issues as well as people from all walks of life. Jordan is available to teach private and small group classes to anyone wishing to begin or further explore a yoga practice.

In 1994 Tricia decided to leave the cold Pennsylvania winters behind, packed up the car (bike in tow) and moved to Charleston. She now calls Mt. Pleasant home along with her husband Brian, 2 large fuzzy dogs Maggie, and Shaymus & 1 deservedly spoiled kitty Samadhi. A vegetarian since 1984, Tricia moved to the lowcountry with the hopes of opening a veggie cafe, but as fate would have it she discovered yoga and found her true calling. (She still loves to cook!).
Tricia is now devoted to helping others uncover the abundant benefits of practicing yoga, both on and off the magic carpet (yoga mat). In 2001, Tricia was certified with 230 hours to teach Multi-Disciplinary yoga. The same year she received her certification to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. She continued her studies in 2002 completing a 40 hour teacher training with Shiva Rea and a 50 hour teacher training with Doug Swenson. Tricia continues to study and attend workshops on a regular basis. In addition to her students and parents, her favorite teachers include Desiree Rhumbaugh, Sri Dharma Mittra and Yoga master Andrey Lappa with whom she has over 60 contact hours. Informally, Tricia studies by means of reading, experiential practice with fellow teachers, and life experiences. Tricia teaches vigorous vinyasa classes, yin yoga, gentle yoga and offers small group and private instruction.

Hannah's passion for yoga began in college through self study with books and a 20 minute yoga video. She extended her knowledge and experience by attending yoga classes, workshops and trainings. Hannah received her teacher certificate through Holy Cow Yoga and Holistic Center and is continuing her studies with a focus on the Anusara method of teaching yoga.
The Anusara method encourages students to celebrate the heart and to fall in love with who they are over and over again. Hannah encourages her students to embrace their differences and to see the good in everything and everybody. All of her teachers have inspired her in her life in one way or another. Her greatest influences have been John Friend, Desiree Rumbaugh, Sarah Faircloth, Sienna Sherman, Mitchell Bleier, and Stacey Collins.
