LORI DUBIN - Lori’s passion for teaching yoga stems from the incredible impact it’s had on her own life. After years of running and high-impact exercise, an injury introduced her to yoga—but it was during the challenging times of the pandemic and personal loss that she truly found her practice. Yoga provided her with a safe space for healing, peace, and grounding. It helped her discover resilience in both body and mind, and now she’s inspired to share that strength with others. Lori creates a welcoming atmosphere in her classes, where students can explore self-discovery and growth at their own pace. With thoughtfully crafted sequences, she focuses on building strength, maintaining proper alignment, and offering modifications to support every practitioner. Her ultimate goal is to help students feel confident in their bodies, connect to their spirit, and embrace yoga as a transformative lifestyle. Lori completed her 200-hour Teacher Training at LGZ in 2025. She’s a proud mom of three grown children and one very pampered Goldendoodle.

April McMillan - What if I told you that you are guaranteed to feel better, stronger both mentally & physically after your YOGA practice. I'd say sign me up! I've been practicing for several years as this is a lifelong journey. The take away from yoga, for me, is to feel calm, to feel quiet within, and to feel challenged. We all need time to heal, time to grow and time to reflect upon how your practice can bring you contentment and acceptance of who you are in each new moment, each inhale & exhale. Yogis have provided feedback on my classes that includes "it was hard but fun" and "I felt peaceful - power". I AM humbled by your presence attending my classes. We remind one another to stay in the present moment. That is why it is called a gift! 200 HR RYT Yoga Alliance accredited, AAAI/ ISMA certified, teaching & connecting breath to movement since 2017

Jamie Abramo - Hightower - I am beyond thrilled to have embarked on this journey of becoming a yoga teacher! I have such a passion for practicing and now teaching such a wonderful and beneficial practice. Vinyasa flow yoga is what I practice and teach. I think its great for everyone because, depending on the teacher, it's always different, can be challenging if you want it to be, and you still get the benefits of peace and clarity. When teaching, I try to keep my classes upbeat and light hearted. Never too serious and I offer options for the students to take modifications for an added challenge or to pull back and stick to the basics while working on their own form. Through teaching, I look forward to sharing all of the benefits that yoga has to offer with more and more people.

Jenna Matteo - I began my fitness career at Penn State teaching group fitness classes (HIIT, Barre, Cycling) My yoga journey was always present in my life in some form or another, but it was truly enhanced when I started at Let’s Get Zen as a student. The community, teachers, and space opened up my heart to the scared practice while making me feel safe, welcomed and loved! When the time came to get certified, my heart led me to Bali, Indonesia for a 3 week training with House of Om. This journey was absolutely pivotal to both my personal and professional life. I am forever grateful for the community at House of Om for the most amazing and instrumental transformation of my life so far! My passion for yoga and spreading wellness after this trip grew tenfold! My heart is full of gratitude for the yoga practice and all of the beautiful benefits it has to offer. My dream is to cultivate a space for others to invite expansion, love and peace into their practice both on and off the mat. I am also a registered and licensed pediatric occupational therapist. I am currently working on merging my two passions, yoga and pediatric OT, to create a space for children to explore their yoga practice through asana(postures), pranayama(Breathwork), and meditation/mindfulness. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti! See you on the mat!

LEAH CRESTA - Fitness and overall physical well-being have been lifelong passions of mine. My exercise routine is diverse, ranging from running and weightlifting to HIIT, biking, and, of course, yoga. Among them all, yoga stands as the foundation of my practice—a powerhouse that strengthens, stretches, and challenges the body using nothing but itself (and a mat, of course). What makes yoga unique is its ability to benefit both the mind and body. By setting aside distractions and focusing on the breath, we cultivate mindfulness while moving through dynamic and intentional poses. My teaching styl embraces both strength and flexibility, blending powerful flows that activate the core and tone the muscles with deep, lengthening stretches to enhance mobility. Expect to begin class by grounding yourself in a calm and focused state, as mindfulness is just as vital as movement. Whether you’re here to build strength, increase flexibility, or simply find a moment of peace, my goal is to guide you through a practice that leaves you feeling empowered, balanced, and refreshed.
