About the hosts:
Martin Doluz (E-RYT-500hrs) began his journey into yoga in 2001 during an internship in India. The beauty and wisdom of the Indian culture captured his heart. He recognized yoga in everything and everyone and was inspired to deepen his practice. Upon returning home, Martin began a mentorship with Linda Sparrow, the editor of Yoga Journal. In 2003 he participated in a 6-month intensive, 200 hour teacher’s training with Cyndi Lee of OM Yoga. Living in San Francisco, he had the opportunity to study with Senior Yoga Teacher’s David Lawry, Elizabeth Rosser, Doug McGee, Jason Crandell and Rusty Wells. He also attended Pilates classes with Elizabeth Larkham who greatly influenced his knowledge of functional anatomy. Martin moved his practice to Hawaii in 2005 where he was blessed with the friendship of Aiyana Greeley. He continues to study in studios throughout Oahu and recently trained with master yoga teacher’s Rodney Yee and Doug Swenson.
Ivie Bryant (RYT-200hr) is an educator and yoga instructor. She was first introduced to yoga in 2007, when she moved to Oahu and discovered the incredible healing potential of the practice. Through focused breath work, dynamatic movement, and long held poses, her physical, emotional, mental and energetic layers opened, allowing for a deeper stillness and awareness of the body. After receiving her master’s in education in 2010, Ivie saw the benefit of the practice in the classroom. She is YogaEd certified and has worked with high school cross country teams, led weekly young women’s yoga classes, and taught children’s preschool yoga. Ivie continues to teach weekly studio classes, workshops, and private sessions. Her intention is to help create and hold a safe space where others can experience a deeper sense of connection to their body, mind and spirit. Her classes have a focus on refined body movement and alignment allowing students to access balance and return the body to a natural state of ease and joy.
