Our Teachers
Ana del Rosal
Ana has been practicing yoga since 1999. She fell in love with the practice because she felt strong from the inside out. Yoga has taught her throughout the years how to be present in her life, respond to experiences with compassion & kindness, and to live from a place of love.
As a teacher, Ana is specific on body alignment to ensure stability throughout the joints so that the student is strong and safe while they practice.
Her classes are geared towards all levels. However sometimes people prefer to do a private class beforehand. This provides one to understand the proper positioning in poses and begins to provide the foundation for a safe and effective practice.
Ana has a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with It’s Yoga and a 500-hour training with Yoga Medicine. She also studies with Rod Stryker of ParaYoga.
Giles Smith
Giles studied at the Soma Institute for his 200-hr YTT in 2020. He is Therapeutic and alignment based focused on building a healthy practice for longevity purposes.
Angie Andrews
Angie was introduced to Kundalini yoga at a retreat in 2013. She fell in love with its ability to quickly shift energy and strengthen both her body and her spirit. She has continued to practice and teach Kundalini since then.
As a leader of women’s circles and transformational retreats over the past several years, she is gifted at creating compassionate and safe space, guiding attendees through deep healing and inner connection.
In addition to teaching Kundalini at Mountain Rose, Angie is a certified Reiki master and offers Intuitive Energy Healing Sessions in our beautiful massage room.
Deborah Feldman
Deb Feldman, MA, RYT, LVCYT, teaches yoga because she loves sharing the joy of movement we can find on the mat or on a chair. In 2017, Deb earned her 200-Hour Yoga Teaching Certificate in Ashtanga Yoga from Grateful Yoga in Montpelier, VT. She continued her training in 2018 with David Williams and at Kripalu with Lakshmi Voelker, becoming a certified LVChair Yoga instructor that same year.
As well as running her yoga practice, Deb meditates and writes as part of a daily practice she’s been evolving over many years. She holds Master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology and in the Applied Healing Arts. Using movement, mediation and writing at her home studio, Moretown Common Wellness, Deb applies her broad skills set in order to best mentor others in how to reach their goals.
When not practicing, Deb enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, being outdoors walking, hiking, and x-country skiing, or keeping cozy indoors sitting by the wood stove knitting, reading, or simply relaxing.
