Meet our Instructors


  • Living full time in Stone Harbor, New Jersey for the past six years, Geralyn Ernst originally hails from Philadelphia and more recently Delaware County, Pa. Ten years ago, friends invited her to join aplein air group at the shore, and she has never looked back. In addition to raising six sons with her husband Bob, the experience and journey of painting and the friendships that ensued have beenunexpected gifts.


  • Lia Antonicello

    Lia's training specializes in Iyengar Yoga, an alignment based practice. She is also a Transformational Breath Facilitator.  She enjoys teaching fun and creative Vinyasa Flow classes that invigorate the mind, body and spirit.  She passionately believes it is the connection with our body and mind through the poses and pranayama that bring more of an awareness to ourselves and help us discover who we truly are.  This time on our mat is meant to open us up to release negative emotions and energy so that we may create space for positivity, light, love and peace in our hearts! Her dream in opening CMY, was to create a sacred space to share the wonderful gift of yoga and healing power of the breath with all who enter her studio.  Catch her on the mat in group class or book a one on one Healing Breath Session!
