Be Happy Yoga is delighted to have a strong core group of wonderful yoga instructors that occasionally teach a yoga class for me when I am out of town. I encourage you to attend their class and expand your own yoga practice experience.
Deborah Kuhlmann
Deborah has been consistently practicing yoga since 2002. She has been a part of hatha yoga communities in Galveston, Houston, Minneapolis and now Austin and Georgetown. Her yoga roots began in studios that had a foundation in the Anusara concept of opening one’s heart to grace, and then while in Minnesota she gravitated to the vinyasa flow of Corepower Yoga, a Baron Baptiste-based practice. She appreciates, then, a lively and even playful practice that is heart-centered, asking herself and participants to open their perceptions to all of the possibilities available to us on our life’s journey, both on and off the mat. In 2008 she took the step to teacher training with Sacred Art Yoga in Houston and since then has continued to keep her 200 hour RYT certificate with Yoga Alliance current. In 2008-2009 she taught for LA Fitness in League City, Texas. Continuing to expand her knowledge of yoga, workshops have included those with John Friend, Baron Baptiste and Austin’s own Charly Pivert, all informing her continuing growth as a practitioner and teacher. She is honored to be part of Be Happy Yoga.

Randall Cauley
Randall is a Dharma Yoga certified instructor (CYT 300) with over 350 hours of education and training. As a Dharma Yoga instructor, Randall's approach to yoga is a ragmatic and mindful approach to the tradition. "Let go of false expectations. The only yoga you will find of any use at all is the one where you meet yourself on the mat, right where you are, just as you are. This is the surest way to accelerate learning and growth."
His style has been described as "eclectic, playful and compassionate."His teaching is informed by explorations in Anusara, Dharma Yoga, Vinyasa Krama, Astanga, Bikram, iniyoga, Thai Massage and Yin Yoga.
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ~ W B Yeats
Randall is passionate about the profound benefits of yoga for body, mind, and heart. "The fruit of yoga is clarity and compassion. In the yogic arts, we cultivate wareness, presence, and mindfulness to more fully engage the energy within and around us."
Randall's Vinyasa classes focus on breath-filled fluid movement, flowing sequences designed to ignite the body for healing, and gently and playfully tethering awareness to the expansiveness of the present moment. "This is a deliberate practice, simple and effective. When we practice mindfully, yoga can illuminate the deep embodied wisdom that lies within us."
"On this path no effort is wasted, no gain is ever reversed; even a little of this practice will shelter you from great sorrow." (BG II.40)
