Teacher Bios

About Dakota & Bridget Shae 

As husband & wife yoga instructors and iLa Yoga Studio owners, we are passionate about each other, living our yoga, exploring, adventuring, loving ourselves and loving others. Our teaching is inspired by the simplistic lifestyle of Costa Rica we have had the beauty of experiencing. It encourages the mindset of health, happiness, love and choosing an authentic life. The Foundation of our teaching stems from the Interdisciplinary Yoga taught at the Nosara Yoga Institute. This discipline encourages finding & creating your own expression of yoga. Yoga has enhanced our lives immensely. We are so grateful for the benefits we receive from our own practice, and love sharing it!

Bridget: My practice takes me to the earth, the mat, around the world and to the intimate places of beauty and grace, and guides me to my truest, most vulnerable self. Yoga encourages me to be strong, positive, kind, and caring. The mat grounds me, provoking me to acknowledge the love that resounds within me – and to SHARE that love, that gratitude, with all my students at iLa and beyond.

Dakota: The benefits of a regular yoga practice are undeniable. I believe yoga is accessible to everyone, consequently leading me to the many styles I enjoy teaching. Years of practice, and self-study have led me to my love of yoga, and my openness to the world I encounter daily. Come to your mat, get authentic, and enjoy the effects this energetic, calming and refreshing practice will have on your life, and the world.

Gabbie: Yoga for Gabbie has been part of her journey on a new path: spiritually, physically, and mentally. Gabbie sees her teaching style as though she is the guide of information and transmission so that each student has their own experience, finding proper alignment, breathing deeply and flowing like a butterfly with the magical jungle of Nosara around you.
