Amanda has
experienced some of her life's greatest joys as a
result of her own personal yoga practice, and
wanting to share that joy with others, decided to
become certified as a teacher. Amanda's
classes are inspired by self experienced knowledge
gained from studying with various yogis on the mat
and through study of ancient texts. Her goal is to
help you ignite your own personal practice,
guiding you to what feels right for your personal
body-type, leading you towards the ultimate goal
of self-realization. To Amanda, asana is
meditation in movement; the truest form of
embodiment. In her words: "What a blessing
connecting breath and body! Allow your
practice to unfold like a lustrous lotus with many
petals!"
Amanda
was first drawn to yoga in 2005. In 2011 she
received her 200 hr, Ahimsa Yoga Training
Certification. And is currently working on a Core
Strength Vinyasa Training.
Bliss
Yoga w Amanda
A
meditative asana sequence connecting us to the
subtler aspects of our being. This movement
mediation focuses on tuning into the body's
energetic pathways and channels. Through hip
opening, arm balances, and inversions, the
surrender is only matched by the challenge!
Yogis will be kissed with bliss.
Raja
Hatha II w Amanda
This
class is designed for those students who are
familiar with basic yogic principles. Students
should anticipate a blend of chanting, asana,
pranayama, and meditation, leaving you feeling
refreshed and
relaxed. | |

Jackie is
an Indian trained Yoga Alliance certified
teacher in Akhanda Yoga,
developed by Yogi Vishvketuji and Chetana
Panwar. She has studied with her teachers in
Canada, and in Rishikesh India where she
received her teaching certification at Anand
Prakash Ashram. Many great teachers
have also influenced Jackie's personal yoga practice
including Swami Vishnu-Devananda, Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar, Swami
Satchidananda, and Sri Ram
Das. Jackie Strives
to create a holistic, non-competitive, and
accepting environment. An emphasis on listening
to your body, respecting your limits without
judgment, and letting go of expectations is a
common thread throughout class. She
encourages students to create a more internal
experience by focusing on their breath, and
being in the present moment.
Yoga is so much
more then a series of postures, it makes us
happy, it makes us relaxed, it makes us
complete!

| Tom
Burchinal |
|
|
Hatha Yoga
is the practice of merging opposite energies
(Ha = sun, Tha = moon).
Classes with Tom will mainly consist
of Asana, Pranayama, Kriya, Mudra,
and Bandha (more than just
asana!). He will teach various methods and
techniques to cleanse and purify the body, giving
one flexible strength in mind/body/soul, while
always stressing the importance of adapting the
practice to one's own self and body. His
approach is natural and free. That is
especially present in his choices with sequencing
- there's always something new. He feels
that too much detail-oriented technical
information will confuse the mind and prevent
proper absorption in the practice, and his job as
teacher is to introduce technical points only when
called for with each individual student.
He
has studied/is studying the styles and teachings
of BKS Iyengar, Dharma Mittra, Jivamukti,
Ashtanga, Chaya/Shadow Yoga, and Core Strength
Vinyasa, and is well read in several of the sacred
ancient texts. He is certified to teach, but
considers his "real" yogic knowledge to be the
result of vetti, "knowledge through
experience," and not information memorized from
books. He promises to teach only what he has
found to be beneficial through much
self-experienced practice!
Tom
bows humbly before all the great teachers past,
present, and future with immeasurable
gratitude.

Erin McKeon, RYT 200hr, has been
practicing yoga for over 7 years and has taught
Ashtanga style yoga since 2007. Ashtanga yoga has
influenced Erin's teaching approach, but she is
also continually inspired by the individual
student and is well-suited to modify the practice
to what is safe and available to the student. Erin
brings a compassionate heart, steady assists and
calming verbal cues to every class that she
instructs. Erin has had training in Ashtanga yoga
with Tim Miller, David Swenson, and Ajay Kumar in
Mysore, India. Erin looks forward to sharing her
love of yoga with you, join her on Mondays at

Tammy has been practicing asana for almost a
decade and teaching since 2001. She has received
multiple certifications through Yoga Fit Levels 1
thru 3, My Yoga Spirit 200 Hour Hatha Yoga RYT
certification program, and counts herself lucky to
have participated in the 2007 Yoga Alliance
registered month long intensive Jivamukti Yoga
certification program where she spent 350 glorious
hours with her loving gurus Sharon Gannon, David
Life and Manorama. Tammy has also had the
privilege to study with other esteemed teachers
such as Yogeswari Eichenberger, Dharma Mittra, and
Doug Swenson. She looks forward to every
opportunity of spreading the teachings of
Jivamukti Yoga, an enlightenment system that draws
deeply from past wisdom; is planted firmly in the
needs of today's yogis and yoginis, and predicts a
bright future eventually unfolding for all beings
everywhere. She believes deeply that there is no
faster way to personal transformation than by
service and kindness to others, and that the more
you practice patience and compassion, the more
capacity you will have for both. Tammy would like
to thank Manorama ji for showing her the beauty in
Sanskrit, Sharon ji and David ji for their
inspiring ability to share these ancient teachings
so fearlessly. Her gratitude further extends to
those that strive to make the world beautiful for
all beings including but not limited to: her life
partner Matt, her guiding light Asha, everyday
lorax Julia Butterfly Hill, and all animal
crusaders. She bows humbly at the lotus feet of
all her teachers and her students. Lokah Samasta
Sukhino Bhavantu (May all being everywhere be
happy and free. May my thoughts words and actions
contribute in some way to that happiness and
freedom for all.) | |
