About Us

Jessica Wood Bio

Having initially studied forensic chemistry at Pace University, Jess immediately took an interest in Anatomy. That paired with having been a former athlete, always active and very passionate about fitness she sought after solace in yoga to soothe injuries caused by overexertion. What was supposed to be just a complementary activity accidentally turned into a full-blown love affair with a much deeper connection beneath the surface.

In September 2013, Jess obtained her first Yoga Alliance teacher certification in Morristown, NJ and then an additional 300 hours in March 2015 under the tutelage of David Regelin, Dylan Werner, Ben Sears, Phillip Askew, Ivy Kaminer, Matt Giordano, Nevine Michaan & Abbie Galvin.

Jess has traveled extensively taking and teaching classes and workshops in Costa Rica, Mexico, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Calgary, Vancouver, London, South of France, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Marrakech in various languages and styles.

Jess continues to grow and explore as a student & teacher. In recent years, she completed another 200 hours of certification in the Katonah Yoga® Material as well became a 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Certified School under the name of POE Academy®. She also has spent time studying herbalism as well as working as a NY Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula via Carriage House Birth®.

Emphasizing yoga’s power to transform using form and function, Jess’s classes are challenging and built from a foundation of showing us just how strong we really are. It is her philosophy that yoga shouldn’t be intimidating and that students should always leave class learning something about themselves they may have never known before they arrived.

Ina Visich BIO

The founder of Solntse Hot Yoga, RYT 200 and avid entrepreneur, founder of NoFoPlantCo, NofoPaddleCo and co-founder of Inhales Wellness, who opened Solntse Hot Yoga studio in Wading River in 2016 because she fell in love with yoga several years prior and wanted to show that love to people in the community, which lacked a local studio. In the studios, besides usually scheduled classes, Ina offers free monthly meditation sessions and other workshops to help educate the community on how beneficial practicing yoga is to ones' physical and emotional health. By opening the studio Ina was hoping to help a lot of people to overcome health issues and live better and healthier lives by integrating yoga into their everyday routines. As a beginner yogi herself, Ina focuses her classes on sharing important knowledge about all the limbs of yoga rather than just the physical Asana practice, including pranayama and mudra exercises. Her classes are very well balanced and designed to work on all of the areas of the physical and emotional body.

Ina enjoys leading international yoga retreats and taking her students to spectacular retreat centers all over the world.
