Our wonderful teachers, who make it all possible!
Jen Flickinger & John Shaffer
Jennifer comes from a lineage of energy workers. She has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2006. Her bodywork background is in Hawaiian Lomi Massage, Myofascial Release, and Cupping Therapy. The reason she became a Massage Therapist was to help bring balance to those who have been affected by trauma. Jennifer is also Certified in Advanced Usui Reiki, and believes in the profound healing power of intentional, skillful, and safe touch. She brings her heart and energy into each bodywork session.
John is spiritual, a reiki practitioner, animal flow instructor and he also has a healthy obsession with movement. He has traveled the world from the likes of Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia etc. and is still searching for growth, enlightenment, and challenges. He comes from a small town in Indiana, USA and has been active and engulfed in nature since he was young. He started university in Memphis, Tennessee and played baseball. A life changing injury brought him back home where he finished university at Purdue.
John & Jen teach their restorative class in unison, and you will find a love of combined creative sequencing or flowing, with a playfulness and caring spirit, all while delivering a dose of inspiration to help you deepen your practice. John thrives in helping others, to re-ignite the fire within to help nurture the body, mind, and soul. His hope and goal is that when you step off the mat, you are feeling refreshed, nourished, and balanced. Jen provides a supportive, loving Reiki touch to all students as they flow through the practice.
Lindsay Negrelli, 500-HR RYT, LMT
From a young age, Lindsay has always had a passion for helping people and was eventually drawn to massage therapy. After seeing the impact touch had, she began her journey to study and complete her certification in massage therapy from the Soma Institute of Chicago in 2008, and she has not looked back since.
Over the years she developed a love and passion for yoga and saw what a profound impact it had on her mind, body and spirit. She grew a desire to share it with others. She received her first 200hr certification from Yoga Mecca in August 2019 followed by a 300hr certification from ONE in August 2021. Lindsay is honored to join you in your healing journey.
When she is not in the studio or doing bodywork, Lindsay enjoys spending time at the local beaches, hiking, volunteering, or doing anything that involves her husband and two children. Her family are avid lovers of Disney World, and make it a point to get away whenever they are able.
Brittany Buzea, 200-HR RYT
Brittany fell in love with the pure dichotomy of the yoga practice: the stark contrast between the strength and power compared to the grace and surrender.
She completed a 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in January of 2018 with Yoga Mecca and has an additional 25-Hour Yoga for Athletes certification through Yoga Medicine with Tiffany Cruikshank. Brittany continues her training attending workshops as much as she can and has had the incredible opportunities to learn in-person from world-renowned yoga teachers: Kino MacGregor, Bryan Kest, Seane Corn, and Patrick Beach.
Brittany believes in inspiring people to find a deeper connection in themselves and gratitude for life. She encourages her students to honor their own authenticity allowing them to feel more present, confident, and free. With an emphasis on exploration and breath awareness, her classes are designed to push students to their own edge, moving beyond the barriers of the mind, where they can truly tap into something so much greater than their expectations.
When not in the studio, you can find her on the trails with her dog, Fiona, attending sporting events, or traveling to far ends of the globe with her mat in hand.
Brittany also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and an MBA in Healthcare Administration.
Ryan Krueger, 200-HR RYT, Reiki Practitioner, Sound & Vibration Therapist
Ryan is very spiritual. At about 19 years old, feeling a little lost, she found yoga. It brought back that inner connection she was missing. She fell in love with it. A few years ago she hit a breaking point. Something needed to shift in a big way. Feeling called to keep healing and help others heal, she trained and became certified in Reiki. The next step was to find the perfect yoga teacher training, which she did at We Are One. Graduating successfully in August 2020. Finding another healing modality in sound, she completed training and certification in November 2020. Yoga, along with these other energetic practices has helped her heal and find her true connection to self once again. She brings all of these healing energies together to help others heal. She is honored to help guide you on your journey.

Kelly Bishop, Yoga-Informed Psychotherapist, Ayurveda Yoga Specialist, 500-HR RYT, and Trauma-Informed Instructor
Sherri Dujmovich, ONE Founder, 500-HR RYT, Trauma-Informed Instructor
I found the practice of yoga in the year 2002. Being married, mother of 3 little ones, working in Chicago and feeling totally depleted I was looking for peace, tranquility and deep spiritual connection. I began practicing with videos at home and quickly found myself waking up before my family to dedicate those early morning hours to peace, love and self care.
This led to family trips to Florida and Geneva for the Yoga Journal Conferences in order to practice "live" with the teachers on the videos. That led to a 200 hour teacher training with Don Wenig at Dancing Feet Yoga in 2010.
My hunger for experience continued to grow leading me to yoga retreats in Sedona, Nicaragua and Cuba with Seane Corn and Tulum with Saul David Raye. I've had the absolute pleasure to study with many master teachers including Mark Whitwell, Maty Ezraty, Shiva Rea and the list goes on.
I've spent the last 2 years studying the Priestess archtype through the Urban Priestess Mystery School with Ashley Turner and Sianna Sherman while taking a parallel program on the Pillars of Priestessing with Athena Perrakis as well. I intend to bring all of the magic I've absorbed from these incredible programs through my classes and workshops.
I am honored to share the practices of yoga and meditation with you and cannot wait for you to experience great joy in your life!
Traci Fozkos-Lauder, 200-HR RYT
Traci is 46 years old and a mother of 4. She has been married to her husband, Craig, for 26 years. Traci was drawn to yoga as part of her fitness journey. It was the strength and connected movements that peaked her interest. Exploring various transitions as well as inversions and arm balances are some of the most exciting aspects of her personal practice. Traci likes to incorporate strengthening drills within her flows and leads BUDOKON every Monday evening.
