Meet our team

Allison Ray (Schleck) Jeraci E-RYT500, PRYT is a vivacious yoga teacher who explores dissecting movement patterns in yoga-asana, using props for accessibility and exploration and then coalesces these components into a fun and delightfully challenging practice.
She also values the importance of self-study, discipline and curiosity. Movement is a common thread in her life since her childhood; beginning gymnastics at the age of five then transitioning into Karate-Do which then morphed into her yoga practice. For Allison, learning and sharing what she discovers is an essential component of her practice and teaching.
In addition to her public classes, Allison is a contributing writer for Yoga International and YogaUOnline. She co-leads a 200-hour yoga teacher training at Yoga Culture in Danbury, CT and teaches an array of workshops focusing on exploratory movement and propping.
Allison completed her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Sonic Yoga in New York City and her 500-Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Cyndi Lee in New York City. She is also certified in Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Advanced Anatomy Studies.
Allison studies with Carrie Owerko (Iyengar Yoga), Jules Mitchell (Yoga Biomechanics), Jason Crandell (Vinyasa Yoga), and many other wonderful yoga teachers to continue educating herself in all that yoga has to offer. Teaching yoga is not just a passion for Allison, it is a way of life.
Outside of the yoga world, Allison is currently studying for a Masters Degree in Romance Languages. She speaks Spanish fluently and adores traveling in Latin America (and around the world). She spends her days off baking bread and spending time with her husband and their five cats. After graduating from college, she lived in Costa Rica working for the Arias Foundation for Peace and Human Progress. While she was there she also worked as a karate-do teacher and a freelance writer.

The YogaRenew Teacher Training was by Nadia Goudy, yoga teacher, yogi, and owner of Recharg Corporate Yoga, - a company dedicated to bringing yoga and mindfulness to the workplace. Nadia's background in yoga began when she was younger. Being raised in a traditional Indian and Pakistani home, both yoga and Ayurveda have been a rich part of her cultural upbringing and traditions. She is dedicated to her yoga training and continuing yoga education and has studied through various schools including YogaFit and also a traditional Indian yoga school located in Rishikesh, India; the birthplace of yoga. She has also more recently trained through Yoga International. She is dedicated to teaching the sacred cultural traditions of yoga from her Southeast Asian heritage and making these ancient teachings more accessible to all who wish to study and deepen their knowledge of yoga. She currently resides in the Washington D.C. area with her husband Nick and dog Winston.

"My mission has always been to inspire others through the sacred yoga teachings from India in situations and areas where students might not be regularly exposed to it or have access to it. I created YogaRenew as a way to help other yogis from all over the world be able to achieve their dream of deepening their yoga education and knowledge.

"Our team is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and well-rounded online yoga teacher training program to allow yogis to be able to follow their passion and dream to help others. I believe what the world needs more than ever today are more inspiring yoga teachers and healers to spread the knowledge of yoga to help others lead healthier and more balanced lives."

Morgan received her 200hr RYT certification in 2014 from highly esteemed Kripalu teachers and then continued her learning in 2017 by completing her 300hr RYT certification with teachers from Yogamaya and the Iyengar Institute in NYC. Morgan also completed her Yin Level 1 & 2 training with Corina Benner and has taught her own Yin trainings to aspiring yoga teachers. She views yoga as a vehicle to get back to yourself — through movement and breath-work, we learn how to live a more authentically happy & content life and meet all situations with confidence. When not teaching or practicing yoga, Morgan can be found copywriting & editing, walking around town with her dog Bowie or taking a HIIT workout and wishing they finished with a long savasana.
