YOGA TEACHERS
Alex Dufour
Born in a small village in the north eastern part of France with Scandinavian roots, I arrived in Cayman at a tender age of 5 years old.
Drawn to martial arts and physical education from a very early age, along with spending most of my free time in nature, I have built a very strong connection to my inner self and the world around me. I discovered yoga at 20 years old and have maintained a daily consistent practice ever since.
My yoga journey lead me to backpack around India and Asia, living in yoga ashrams, spiritual communities and seeking out yoga masters around the world. This has allowed me to fully commit to the path of yoga, while maintaining a strong love and connection with the spiritual art.
I look forward to sharing my experience and love for the practice with you all at One Heart.
Sarah Gluschke
I am a holistic health & wellness coach for women, yoga teacher and meditation instructor.
My journey into the health and wellness began early, sparked by an adventure to India as an 18-years-old for my very first yoga teacher training. From there, my path unfolded, marked by constant learning, re-direction and finding more and more to myself.
Kristina Shultsayte
I am a certified yoga instructor with 500hrs of training from New York City. I received my 200hrs from Exhale NY and 300hrs from Jared McCann at Lighthouse Yoga School. I began my yoga journey more than 10 years ago and fell in love with the physical aspect of it. While practicing, I was challenged both physically and mentally. With time and consistency, my body developed strength and surprising to my stiff body flexibility.
Lee Davies-Head
I am a fully registered 200 hour RYT in Hatha Yoga and a 100 hour RYT in Yin Yoga. I have been practicing yoga for 26 years and I teach from an organic flow state.
I feel energy moving through my body via the meridians and I move with intuition and intention, following the bodies natural energetic pathways. Mudras and breathwork along with meditation often present themselves as we follow the flow and these are incorporated into the class to help bring balance and homeostasis to the body.
These classes are energetic healing classes giving students time to connect in with their bodies helping them to realign and get back to center.
Dai Ebanks
Hello! I'm Dai, and I'm thrilled to share yoga with you. As a born and raised Caymanian, I'm honored to serve our community in meaningful ways, and helping others feel safe and at home in their bodies is at the heart of my work. I began my personal practice in 2017 and completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training in early 2026. I'm passionate about creating a welcoming space where students can deepen their connection to the practice. In my classes, I emphasize proper alignment, intentional movement, and the importance of listening to your body. I believe yoga is a journey of self-discovery, and I love guiding students through slower-paced sessions that honor both the physical and spiritual aspects of the practice. My signature class, Rhythm & Release, invites you to move with purpose and release what no longer serves you—whether that's physical tension or limiting beliefs. I'm also deeply interested in herbalism and holistic wellness, and how plant medicine can support our healing journey.
I'm here to support your practice and help you explore what yoga means for you. I look forward to meeting you on the mat.
Brittany Sippel
I’m a yoga teacher passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where people can slow down, be present, and connect deeply with themselves. I am certified in teaching Hatha, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa, but my heart belongs to Yin. I’m especially passionate about teaching with a “slow down” vibe, helping students soften, release, and reconnect. My Yin classes are inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine — weaving in the meridians, elements, and emotions — and I also love guiding meditation, slow flows, breathwork, and beginner-friendly classes.
Yoga has been my anchor through life’s challenges, teaching me that breath is a compass leading me back home to myself. My mat is a sanctuary — a place to feel, heal, and simply be, without masks or expectations. I hope to offer that same experience to others, creating a sacred space in a busy world where anyone can pause, reconnect, and find their own sense of grounding.
When I’m not teaching, you can probably find me underwater. I love freediving, scuba diving, photography, creating art, traveling, and beaching it with my dog. Yoga and freediving are where my worlds collide — both practices of presence, breath, and surrender, connecting mind, body, and spirit.

Nicole Badessee
I was born into a family rooted in yoga and meditation. My grandfather built a beautiful temple dedicated to community practice and spiritual growth. These traditions have always been a part of my life, and in adulthood I felt called on to deepen my practice further, leading me to Costa Rica, where I became certified in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative Yoga.
For me yoga is an ever-unfolding journey in both student and teacher. In every class, I value the exchange of learning and connecting which happens together on the mat. My teaching style blends mindful flow and grounding holds, helping students reset the nervous system, find inner peace, and connect deeply with the body and breath.
I love creating a full sensory experience by weaving in guided meditation, breathwork, Reiki, energy attunement and aromatherapy - offering a practice that nourishes both individually and collectively.
Irina Scrivens
Irina is a devoted yoga teacher with over 300 hours of training in Hatha, Yin, and Myofascial Release. Her teaching is grounded in a deep fascination with the connection between the human body and spirit, inviting students to explore movement with curiosity and presence. As a trauma-informed instructor, Irina cultivates a safe, inclusive space where each practice becomes an opportunity for release, restoration, and self-discovery. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and embodies the essence of yoga in daily life—guiding students toward balance, resilience, and inner harmony both on and off the mat.

Claire Kathleen
Hello, my name is Claire, I’m a certified E-RYT500 yoga instructor. I found yoga 26 years ago, here in the Cayman Islands. My practice developed as I fell more and more in love with the different facets of yoga and all its’ teachings.
In 2007 I did my first yoga teacher training and was certified at an interdisciplinary school allowing me to learn about the foundations in many different styles of yoga. I began specializing in an alignment and heart opening based yoga practice. I am drawn to the slow and restorative pace of Yin while also being energized by hot and vinyasa based yoga practices. I’m really looking forward to seeing you again or welcoming you to class.
