Supervision Process

During the first 30 hours of their practicum delivery, our Yoga Therapy interns will work with five individual clients for five sessions each. Our Yoga Therapy Practicum Supervisor, Megan McCarver, will be observing one session for each individual client. Megan will be off camera on zoom.

Our practicum supervisor will review the interns documentation and approve the sequence plan of yoga therapy tools.

If you are interested in working with a Yoga Therapist to receive a customized wellness plan, this is a fantastic place to start!

Amy Valdez

A dear friend took me to a yoga class when she saw I was struggling to meet the demands of raising a family. That first savasana was revelatory, and I discovered my love of mindful movement.  I learned that I could only care for my family if I cared for myself. Yoga helped me heal and come into my power. Self-mastery of body and mind has been and continues to be transformative. It is my desire to help others discover their power by choosing to take steps towards better health and a better life.

 
I started my teacher journey with Patrick Freeman then studied with Ganga White, Tracy Rich, Erika Faith-Calig, and Shiva Rea. My Pilates training was at Orange Coast College in 2012. In 2015, I trained in aerial yoga training with James Wong (C-IAYT) in Malaysia. My 500 EYRT designation in 2016 allowed me to begin training teachers. I completed an M.S., In Kinesiology at CSUF in 2023. I am currently interning for Yoga Therapy Certification at Be The Change Yoga to be completed in early 2026. I am driven to continually add to my knowledge to better serve others by sharing the gift of yoga, mindfulness, and holistic wellness. I teach Chair, Gentle, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yogalates, Pilates, and Aerial Yoga at various venues. I host retreats to offer a week of nutritious meals, mindful movement, and immersion in nature to reset your health. I love to sing for my classes during savasana.

Jessica McLin

After completing RYT – 200 hour training with Cloud 9 Yoga and Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training with MaYoga, she turned her focus to her growing family and multiple cross country moves.  Now settled back in SoCal, and ready to experience and share more joy, she is in the process of completing her RYT – 300 and her Yoga Therapy training, at the same time!  When she’s not immersing herself in the beautiful world of yoga and having adventures with her kids (that includes just getting out the door in the morning sometimes!), she loves a good road trip (especially if the beach or the mountains are involved), running (half marathons are a favored distance), and reading or listening to books (biographies and historical fiction, with a mix of self-improvement thrown in).  In this life she is learning that there’s almost nothing in life that can’t be tackled after taking some deep breaths, dipping your toes in the sand, and having people around you who make you laugh until you can’t breath, on repeat.  She would love to chat and learn with you about all things Yoga and Ayurveda, share a laugh and a book recommendation, and find ways to plant seeds of joy.

Tanner Speer

Hi! My name is Tanner and I am currently a Yoga Therapist Trainee. I began my yoga journey a decade ago, when I attended my very first yoga class with my mom! From the moment I first stepped onto my yoga mat, it felt as though I was coming home. Flash-forward to 2020 and I finally found myself enrolled in my very first 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training. Upon completing my 200hr certification I immediately began teaching, as well as working on my 300 hr Yoga Teacher Training. I have since earned my E-RYT 200, and RYT 500 designations through Yoga Alliance, and have become certified in practices including Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Long Slow Deep, Yoga Nidra, and Mindfulness Meditation, as well as becoming a Reiki Master Practitioner.
