“Acro Partner Yoga”
Sofia Howard I like to teach an eclectic style of Pilates and yoga, which are rhythmic, fluid and focused—connecting one movement to the next to build strength, flexibility, and endurance. I work to create sequences that are stimulating, supportive and inspire confidence in my students. As a long time student of yoga, I incorporate breath-work, mindfulness and intention into my teaching no matter what format is being taught. I aspire to have my students leave class fulfilled by the experience and curious and eager to learn more. Teaching is how I fill my cup! When I am not teaching, you can find me spending time with my family, homeschooling my kiddos, or tending to our small farm and homestead.

co-lab artists
Cat Craig My name is Cat Craig and I am the artist of Sunrise Via Lola. I live in Ojai, Ca and I have been a full time artist for almost a year. I am a rock climber, mountain biker, and trail runner. I find that my art is heavily inspired by my adventures!
Barry Lundgren has been woodturning for over 25 years. His inspiration comes from the wood itself. Every piece is different in color, texture, scent, and character. Regardless of the shape or the wood, his goal is to make them all pleasing to the eye and touch.
Marco Mazza is an avid waterman born and raised in Northern/Central California. His love for sharing the ocean's natural beauty has led him to become a well-recognized underwater photographer as well as a jade carver focusing mainly on the Big Sur Jade he finds while diving.
Kim Winberry - Whimsical painter, children’s book author, and full-time chaos wrangler. I turn animals, emotions, and oddities into art that makes you smile (and maybe snort). Founder of WaterPlusInk Studios. Powered by caffeine, sarcasm, and an unreasonable number of sketchbooks.
Pamela Maxvill - I am a local artist specializing in acrylic and resin with a focus on functional pieces.
Chris Pedersen grew up on the Central Coast of California. He explored his beautiful surroundings and discovered his drawing talent and creative imagination.
His art career started with a concentration of illustration and graphic design. Currently Chris is making fine canvas oil paintings. Chris has maintained the youthful fantasy aspect of possibility. This dreamy realm fuels concepts which start as sketches and result in handsome well crafted paintings. “Every time you go surfing it’s a new experience.” He compares this to his artwork, “When you sit down to draw or create something, you never know what’s going to happen.” http://foreverstoked.com/
Charlie Clingman was raised in spacious rural settings which had animals to play with and horses to ride. This planted the seed for his future exploration and appreciation of nature. He finds that 20 years of international surfing experience has not only been a great thrill and good exercise but a fine way to observe the water and surrounding landscapes. He seeks to have his paintings represent the beauty and action he encounters. Charlie holds a passion for natural dynamics. He feels that studying from life (plein air/painting outdoors) is essential. http://foreverstoked.com/
