Registered Yoga Teacher
Meet Tatiana Gisell Carrasco, our vibrant Yoga Instructor who has been sharing her love for yoga and stretch classes since 2020. Tatiana’s journey began in Argentina, where she also taught English and discovered her passion for working with families.
Tatiana is dedicated to bringing movement and mindfulness into the lives of students and their families. She believes that mindful movement on the mat can translate to mindful living, helping everyone stay present and aware in their daily lives.
With specializations in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Meditation, Tatiana brings a wealth of knowledge to her classes. She’s also a stretch therapist and is currently studying to become a Gestalt Therapist, further enhancing her ability to support students.
When she’s not teaching, you can find Tatiana rollerblading, hiking, skiing, biking, running, or enjoying the beach. Being in nature and practicing yoga outdoors are among her favorite activities.
Tatiana’s favorite reminder is: “The answers you are looking for are always right where you are. Close your eyes!” This mantra perfectly captures her belief in the power of mindfulness and inner wisdom.
Join Tatiana on the mat either at your school or on an online session and experience the transformative power of mindful movement!

Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder
Dr. Mike, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Intentional Health and Wellness, brings a unique perspective to health and wellness, shaped by his own personal experience and a deep commitment to impacting our youth and educators to create a brighter tomorrow.
During his freshman year of high school, he was a dedicated baseball player with aspirations of reaching new heights in the sport. However, an unexpected vertebra fracture to his back sidelined him for over a year, marking one of the most challenging periods of his life. The intense pain and immobility he experienced forced him to confront the consequences of overexertion and inadequate foundational movement practices, ultimately shifting his focus and career trajectory.
This life-altering experience became a turning point, inspiring Mike to pursue a path in becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Driven by a newfound passion for understanding movement and injury prevention, he dedicated himself to learning how to help others avoid similar pitfalls and achieve optimal health.
Today, Dr. Mike channels his expertise and personal insights into his role at Intentional Health and Wellness, where he and his team work with our educators and youth on how to move their bodies optimally to improve their energy and mobility. In his free time, Mike enjoys cooking it up in the kitchen, diving into a good book, and spending quality moments with his family.
His personal journey and commitment to holistic well-being continue to inspire his work, driving him to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those he serves, especially the future generations to come.

She later expanded her focus to organizational wellness, using behavior science to strengthen team culture, performance, and overall well-being.
