TATIANNA
Tatianna has had a passion for health and fitness her entire life and in 2003, after stumbling upon a yoga class on a beach in California, the practice became a permanent fixture in her workout repertoire. Over the following years, Tatianna practiced Hatha, Bikram and everything in between, coming to the conclusion that – combining all that she had learned to love about yoga and teaching her principles to others would be the ideal next step. In 2011, Pure Yoga & Fitness opened their doors in Clearwater, FL. As Director, she has incorporated Hatha, Vinyasa, Beth Shaw Yoga Fit 1 & 2, Ashtanga with Ally Ford. Tatianna is an experienced yoga teacher with over ten years in training and is always expanding her practice with new certifications. Currently holds a 500 E-RYT.
Tatianna believes that the practice is both spiritual and encourages self-awareness. “How yoga makes me feel is hard to put on paper,” says Tatianna, “ the practice is like a personal therapy session – it has benefited me internally, externally and in my personal relationships. It gives the students confidence as they push themselves towards personal goals and this inspires me to improve upon my practice.” She relishes in being creative with yoga and in life. Tatianna continues to learn and explore as a perpetual student of yoga, and of the world. She strives to create a soothing, supportive, and uplifting atmosphere, where students feel free to express themselves and are encouraged to learn and grow!

MARISSA
Hey, I’m Marissa! I began practicing yoga over 10 years ago in my hometown of Chicago. Through life’s waves, yoga has always proven to be my place of grounding. In 2017 I took Ally Ford teacher training and I found my passion in teaching. I use yoga to guide to me through my Doula work, through being a mom of 3 boys, and just being human!! I encourage you to show up and do something good for yourself daily….. meet me on your mat!!
KAT
I began my yoga journey in 2015 shortly after graduating from college. I had been playing soccer since I was 7 years old and played collegiate soccer for all 4 years of college and once my collegiate soccer career ended I was looking for something that not only challenged me, but also something different that would also help me mentally. It was not until 2017 that I became a daily yoga student, fully engaged and committed, and it truly changed my life.
The more I practiced the more connected I felt to my body, mind, and soul. Yoga was giving me something I had never imagined possible. Fast forward to 2019 my husband and I moved to FL from NC and I struggled to find a new studio to practice at that I connected with. I had bounced around to different studios until 2021 when I started practicing at Pure Yoga and Fitness, and it has become a home to me. The Pure yoga community, inclusivity, and love is unparalleled.
I was so inspired by Tatianna Fedorchak the owner, she positively impacted me so quickly, I became even more motivated to bring my dream of teaching to fruition. Thanks to divine timing I got the opportunity in 2022 to go through yoga teacher training with Tatianna Fedorchak and Missy White. Through that experience it became even more clear to me that I wanted to not only be a student, but also a teacher.
When I’m not working working my full-time job as a Marketing Manager or teaching/practicing yoga, you’ll likely find me dancing until my legs fall off at a live music event, relaxing at the beach, trying out new yummy restaurants, or enjoying family time with my son and husband!
LESLIE
MELISSA
I started practicing yoga 8 years ago and completed fell in love with the idea of connecting my mind, body and spirit. Yoga has helped me understand myself and my connection to all things on this earth. I always knew I wanted become a teacher because of the way other teachers have impacted my life, I want to do the same for other yogis. I’m a full time real estate agent and teach yoga to fill my soul and potentially influence someone in a positive way. I firmly believe in lifting each other up and connecting with one another in a deeper way, yoga helps us do that.
LESSIE
Lessie has held a passion for sharing knowledge and experiences with others throughout her life. With an extensive background in practicing and coaching gymnastics, she turned to Yoga while in college in pursuit of connecting with herself and others on a deeper level. She felt inspired to start teaching after she experienced firsthand the gifts of unity within Yoga and wanted to share those gifts with others. Lessie is deeply driven by the sense of community that Yoga offers.
First and foremost, Lessie is committed to remaining a student of Yoga. She is dedicated to her education and welcomes feedback in order to deliver both transformational and intentional sequences. Her goal is to create a safe space that encourages others to find self-awareness, explore their highest potential, and connect with one another.
When she is not on the mat, you can find her studying, as she is in medical school to become a doctor. As such, she is a strong advocate for the health and healing benefits of yoga, and she finds every opportunity to connect others to these advantages during her teachings.
