Terri Adler
Yoga Instructor, RYT-200
Terri has been practicing yoga since 1998 when she fell in love with it. After seven years of practice she decided to become a yoga teacher and enrolled in a 200 hr teacher training program at Saraswati River Yoga in New Hope, PA from 2005-2006. In 2007 Terri then received her Yoga Ed teacher certificate and has been teaching children yoga as young as 2 years old! She loves seeing them in such delightfuls poses. Through a 30 hr training program with Sally Miller, Terri received her Yin Yoga teaching certificate in 2009. She realizes that it is important to have a steady practice to move you into a place of harmony and peace. There are so many things that come our way that is completely out of our control and by implementing a daily practice of meditation, pranayama, asanas and savasana it moves us from choas to clarity. We learn to pause before reacting and we find that place within us that is grounding and peaceful. Namaste!

Carol Garner
Yoga Instructor, RYT-200
Carol’s yogic journey began more than 15 years ago and has grown into a true passion. While she is a Registered Yoga Alliance RYT and Certified YogaKids teacher CYKT, she still considers herself a student at heart, as there is always something more to learn from yoga. Yoga and meditation have taught her how to be humble, grateful and mindful as well as connected to the spirit that lies within. She has learned that yoga is a process which allows one to experience life with a conscious awareness, growing and manifesting along the way. Yoga has given her the tools to meet life on life’s terms and focus on the present moment. Carol loves to be creative and has a true compassion for people.
Carol offers Vinyasa flow classes that make it accessible for everyone. Her classes range from gentle flow, beginner to intermediate levels with modifications and challenges for all to explore. Swimming, reading, long walks in nature and getting in touch with her spirituality, are outside interests that Carol enjoys. She also loves teaching Hot Yoga, challenging her students to find their edge. Carol resides in Bucks County, has three grown children, a husband who supports her on her yogic path and a dog Bailey who adds sunshine to her day.

Ginger Solomon
Yoga Instructor, E-RYT-200, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Founder Blossom Yoga
Ginger began practicing yoga in 2008 during a very stressful time in her life. She wanted to learn if yoga could quiet her mind and the many thoughts that swirled around if only for that hour. She also wanted to supplement her existing fitness regimen of cycling and weight training. Through the practice of Vinyasa Flow yoga, Ginger became aware of the importance of linking her breath and movement together, the cornerstone of yoga, which translated literally means “to join”. Ginger took the lessons she learned on her mat during her yoga practice to off the mat and in to her private life. She learned how to live a more harmonious and joyful life through yoga.
Ginger completed her 200 hr RYT yoga teacher training program at Yogasphere in early 2012 and founded Blossom Yoga later that same year. In February 2015, she completed Level One Restorative Yoga Teacher Training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Stockbridge, MA. She continued her studies in Restorative Yoga with Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., PT and completed her signature Relax and Renew Level 1 Teacher Training in February of 2020. From September 2020 through August 2022, Ginger completed an additional training at the Kripalu School of Ayurveda and is a National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) board certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor (CAHC) who counsels clients about Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle habits to achieve better health through the wisdom of this ancient medical science. In addition, Ginger has a Master's Degree (MS) in Anatomy and Physiology which brings great depth and knowledge to her teachings and own practice. Her passion is teaching new students the basics of a yoga practice including meditation techniques, chanting, pranayama (breath control) and asanas (poses). She focuses on the importance of the proper alignment of poses to protect the student while also increasing their strength and flexibility.
Ginger lives in Washington Crossing with her husband, Ben, and has a blended family of three adult children. She enjoys spending time with her family on sailing vacations, tending to her flower and vegetable gardens and walking her dogs Buddy and Cookie Dough.
Renée sees yoga as a lifelong journey, a practice that celebrates individuality and honors the human form. She teaches yoga with balance in mind, providing students with the opportunity to explore their boundaries, challenge their limitations, and nurture themselves in body and mind. Renée believes strongly that yoga can benefit everyone, at every stage of life. Whether vigorous or gentle, yoga is that combination of movement, breath-awareness and self-inquiry that leads us to health and vitality, and ultimately to a place where we can soften inward, and connect with our own inner-wisdom.
