Your Facilitators

 

RANDI SCHIFFMAN

Randi ERYT 500 has taught over 50 yoga teacher trainings since 2010. Her expertise is in sharing Holistic Yoga, a well rounded practice including meditation, pranayama, mudra, bandha, mantra, theme weaving and intelligent sequencing. A certified Thai Massage Therapist, she is especially known for her firm and intuitive based hands on assists.  She facilitates with a strong energy and passion for the practice which supports her compassionate, graceful and empathic nature. She has an innate ability to take in knowledge, experience it, and share wisdom in an authentic way.

JESSI LUNA

Jessi teaches a Vinyasa-based practice to combine elements of dance and natural movement with traditional yogic sequencing. She incorporates attention to the rhythm of the breath and allows for organic movement to flow in each pose. She is grateful for the journey of yogic creativity and loves to share this movement of bliss with others along the way. 

Jessi, along with her husband Zach and her parents, created Seven Springs Retreat Center in her mountain home of East Tennessee. Inspired by retreat centers from around the world, Seven Springs provides a natural and holistic space for local and global communities to experience high quality holistic education in the United States.

 

About Seven Springs

Seven Springs is the Tennessee home of Zach and Jessi, two of our Kula Collective co-founders. The family spirit is strong here: Jessi’s grandmother and parents have been homesteading the land for almost fifty years. From building to managing to mowing the grass, it takes all four generations to keep it up.

Set on 126 acres of secluded forest, this is the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect. It has come a long way in six years, earning the title of #1 meditation retreat center in Success Magazine (Sept ‘22).

Gather for practice on our hand-built shala with local cedar posts. Nourish yourself with Olivia’s hearty local vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Fill your cup with crystal clear spring water. Walk the creek between our springs among old growth hardwoods. Get out to explore & hike Great Smoky Mountain National park just a short drive away. Just 25 minutes from the Knoxville airport and within a day’s drive of so many cities, getting away from it all has never been this easy.

What Our Students Say

I can’t begin to describe how meaningful this training was and continues to be for me. It was powerful on every level: mind, body, soul, spirit. It was challenging and empowering on every level. It was healing on every level. I’m incredibly, incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and grow with the Kula. Kula is unique and holistic beyond words. The training was deep, grounded, thoughtful, well-rounded, ceremonial, and authentic (truly words don’t even begin to scratch the surface). I have the sense that Kula is founded on love and dedication, and this love permeated throughout every part of the training. I am deeply honored to have had the opportunity to train with Kula.
