James was born in London and first discovered yoga in 2003, while at drama school. However, he truly caught the bug a few years later while performing in a Shakespeare production that toured India. His routine of sunrise practices overlooking the rooftops of Udaipur with an old yogi called Prakash sealed the deal. Since obtaining his 500 hour teacher training certificate with Tribe, James has completed 200 hours with Max Strom and taken further training with David Swenson, Yogrishi Vishvketu, and Tiffany Cruickshank and continues his studies on advanced training with Jason Crandell.
Susan Marrufo, MA, E-RYT 500, left the United States and a job in advertising in 2008 to travel internationally and experience life beyond the confines of her cultural conditioning. She received her first 500-hr yoga certification in Thailand in 2009, where she began her studies of the classical yogic scriptures and delved deeply into esoteric tantric philosophy. After 2 years of teaching month-long tantric based courses on the banks of the Ganges in India and the Pacific coastal towns of Mexico, Susan returned to the US to begin a residential internship with the Kripalu School of Yoga, where she taught in and project managed several Kripalu yoga teacher trainings as well as received her 2nd 500-hr teacher training certification from the Kripalu School of Yoga.
Since then, Susan has split her time between India, Thailand and the US, facilitating group courses in the inquiry of yoga and meditation as well as diving increasingly deeper into her own yogic studies. After many years of travel, she is happy to have found a home in the City of Angels.
She is the Co-founder of Samarasa Center in Los Angeles, California.

Chris is passionate about helping people in a holistic way; to make yoga accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Her journey began in 2013 when she started her degree in Kinesiology at Queen’s University in Canada. She specialized in an Athletic Therapy program which supported varsity athletes. She then completed her yoga teacher training with Path of Yoga in March 2020. Chris weaves her understanding of the physical body into her yoga teaching to craft thoughtful, well-balanced classes and she creates a warm and welcoming space in which to practice.
Casey’s journey with yoga began over 10 years ago attending classes at a local gym. The seed had been planted, and her asana practice became a grounded part of her life and daily routine as she lived and travelled throughout Southeast Asia. She eventually landed in Bali where she completed her first 200hr TTC. Casey focuses on embodied awareness, aiming to deepen the connection between breath and movement, dropping you deeper into yourself and connecting you back to yourself through mindful movement. She gives students an opportunity to curiously explore their bodies and their breath.
“A month of truly inspirational teaching, wisdom, insight and shared knowledge as well as laughter, joy, tears, release… It is hard to articulate what I received on this beautiful training for it is so much more than words can convey. My heart is full of gratitude and I am ready to share it with others…
May the light that I received ignite the light within all those whose path crosses with mine…”
– Tanya Marie Green
