My name is Gigi Oppenheimer. I received my Classical Ballet Teaching and Choreography Certification from Music in Motion Inc. under the mentorship of Barbara Thuesen, Registered Dance Educator. I have professional experience teaching privately, at established dance schools, gyms, preschools, and similar venues.
I was trained as a dancer at the Russian allet School of the Mid-Hudson Ballet Company and Estelle & Alfonso Inc. I have also studied classical Indian dance with local artist and tutor, Kantham Chatlapalli. Exposure to and acquaintance with the basics of jazz and other contemporary forms of dance have complemented my foundational training.
My background includes extensive performance experience as a former member of the Mid-Hudson Ballet Company and student of Estelle & Alfonso. I have also had the privilege and pleasure of performing with the New York City Ballet, Ulster Ballet Company, Kantham Chatlapalli Dancers, and others.

My name is Deva Gille. I have been a student, practitioner, and instructor of Bhakti Yoga since 1988. Bhakti is the Yoga of Devotion and Meditation. I received my Yoga Teacher Certification from Atma Yoga, a Yoga Alliance Registered School. Atma Yoga combines efficient Yoga asanas or poses with deep philosophical and spiritual wisdom. Atma Yoga is truly Yoga for the modern age and is user friendly for all levels of Yoga experience.
I have traveled the world learning and teaching Yoga and Meditation for more than 20 years. I have been schooled in the mechanics, mysteries, and virtues of Yoga and Meditation by many great teachers and masters. Having lived with and learned from them in ashrams in India as well as throughout the Western world, I have been inspired with a deep desire to share these profound gifts of physical health, mental/emotional well being, and self realization with as many people as I can.
This is what I strive to pass on and nurture through the Atma Yoga instruction which I offer. I hope you will join me in the natural healing process of Atma Yoga. All are welcome!
