Meet Our Instructors

Classes at Let It Be are taught by qualified volunteers like these fine folks!

CHANDA CLEMENTS

Chanda is the manager and lead teacher at Let It Be Yoga. She completed Rubber Soul's Yoga Teacher Training (Adventure Club) in 2012. She teaches a great flow class with lots of breath and vinyasa. You'll like her unassuming ways and calm sincerity.

DEANA SHUMAN

Deana is first and foremost a lover of animals, especially (but not exclusively) furry kinds--slippery, feathered, and scaly kinds are great too. She studied French literature and enjoys speaking French, singing, sewing, and knitting. She is now studying Speech Pathology. She loves yoga for its focus on acceptance and mindfulness, and also for the great physical benefits.

JASON WURNIG

Jason discovered yoga asana practice in 2009 and completed his teacher training with Bill Cottrell at Yogaful Day Shala in 2013.  Although his interests in yoga are eclectic, he has a deep appreciation for Yin yoga and its benefits for the deeper tissues and organs.   His practice is inspired by natural elements like the wind, the moon, the sun, and the stars. 

DR. CAL CLEMENTS, E-RYT

Cal is certified in Ashtanga Yoga from Downward Dog in Toronto. He has four university degrees, including a Masters of Library Science and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. As owner and manager of our affiliate studio Rubber Soul Yoga in Athens, Georgia, he has taught over 4000 hours of yoga and meditation.

CHERYL WASHBURN

Cheryl is a native Athenian, vegan, animal lover, and artist who has been practicing meditation in various forms for thirty years.

KEREM KILIC

Kerem is steadily working to become more mindful of everything he does, and he desires to help others do the same. His class is meditative, gentle, and focused on stilling the mind and aligning movement with breath. He has been practicing yoga since 2007 and teaching since 2014. Along with daily asana practice, he recommends spending quality time outside, gifting, taking a quick inventory of a few (or many!) things you're thankful for before breakfast, always loving your body, staying hydrated, and stargazing.
