Yoga with Mia Fasanella, Sandy Sperou, & Seamus Tyson
This summer, our free Wednesday evening yoga class is back on the lawn! Please register for each class and bring your own mat (the park does not provide yoga mats). We also recommend bringing water and a towel. Our yoga classes are appropriate for all levels of practice.
Mia Fasanella began practicing yoga in high school and continued to deepen her practice throughout college. She completed two 8-week yoga instructor training courses, and taught yoga throughout her undergraduate years at SUNY Oswego fitness centers. In her junior and senior years of college she helped mentor the next group of yoga instructors for the university fitness centers. Mia completed her 200hr training in 2017, Urban Zen Level One in 2019 and 300hr in 2020 at Yoga Shanti. She graduated in 2018 from SUNY College at Oswego with a BA in Anthropology and a minor in studio art. She continues to study with Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee because she is passionate about their alignment focused sequencing. Gratitude, breath awareness, balancing poses and reiki all inspire her personal practice and teaching. She considers yoga to be her best tool for managing Type 1 Diabetes from a place of physical and emotional wellbeing.
Seamus Tyson Yoga Instructor E-RYT® 500 - Seamus grew up splitting his time in between New York City and the East End of Long Island. He continues to enjoy this balance between city and costal life today. Prior to teaching yoga, Seamus worked primarily as a Recording & Live-Event Music Engineer. Seamus completed his first 200-HR Teacher Training in 2015 at Yoga Shanti NYC, and has since completed his additional 300HR Advanced Teacher Training at Yoga Shanti. Seamus has spent time in the full spectrum of yoga disciplines, all leading to his primary love for Vinyasa Flow Yoga. He continues to be dedicated to the study, practice, and teaching of yoga. Seamus’s classes are as fun as they are challenging. He teaches a Vinyasa Flow style, with a heavy emphasis on sequencing and music, alignment and flow, and an appropriate amount of inquiry into the practice of yoga.
Sandy Sperou found the importance of maintaining a regular yoga practice as a former Wall Street floor trader on the New York Stock Exchange. She loved the way it brought a sense of peace into her mental space after hectic days on the trading floor. This spiritual component is still what Sandy values most about her yoga practice today. Her thoughtful and fun classes feature signature Yoga Shanti sequencing with an emphasis on maintaining a healthy spine, creating spacious joints, and a balanced nervous system. Sandy wants students to better get to know themselves and be their own witness in the journey of their own yoga practice. She is grateful to be continue learning with her primary teachers Colleen Saidman Yee & Rodney Yee. Her classes are offered online and in person at Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, NY. Aside from practicing and teaching yoga, Sandy loves to hang with her French Bulldog named Biff, dance to guilty pleasure hip hop songs, and cheer on her 6 time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.
