Amber Hartley RYT 200

“Yoga is not about self-improvement, it’s about self-acceptance.” – Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa

Yoga has been a part of my life since 1998. In 2012, my practice in yoga grew to influence all aspects of my life. I completed my RYT 200 certification at I Am Yoga Wellness Studio in CA. My class is Hatha based. I combine meditation, deep breathing, and stretch to leave you standing taller, squatting deeper, and feeling balanced.

I believe yoga is for everyone, all ages and all shapes and sizes. My specialty is teaching the basics but I instruct to all levels in my classes. I consider myself a student as well. I learn and grow with each class I instruct. My personal yoga practice is a continuous evolution. I have my good days and my not so balanced days. Yoga has taught me to “go with the flow.” When my body is ready for the next level the next level will come. Until then I will wobble when I balance (especially on my hands or head).

I look forward to meeting all those who know and love yoga. And I especially look forward to passing on my love and knowledge of yoga to those who have yet to catch the “yoga bug!”

Jeanette Kinsman ERYT 500

I stepped into my first yoga practice at age 50 and went almost immediately into teacher training when my twins sons set off to college. I’ve taught at local studios, churches and retreats as well as my semi private home studio for the last 6 years. Sharing yoga has become the surprise joy of my life

#amandaruffner 

I  began my yoga practice through breath work.  During times of intense stress I’d close my eyes and deepen my breath, ultimately finding peace and stillness.  Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was meditating.  Since then I’ve grown to love various types of yoga, ranging from Ashtanga to Yin to Hot Power yoga.  I obtained my RYT 200 Hot Yoga certification at Eagle Yoga House in 2018.  After that I began immersing myself in more training, certifying in Yin, Hot Vinyasa, Rocket Yoga, and am currently pursuing my 500RYT through Carmen Aguilar (cYoga).  My goal as an instructor is to help students achieve the healthiest, happiest, and strongest version of themselves.  

Jenny Mundy-Castle has been practicing yoga for for 25 years and received her teacher certification in Ashtanga Vinyasa from an intensive training in Rishikesh, India. Her Intense Flow class incorporates elements of the traditional Ashtanga series with a more modern twist on the vinyasa flow that includes sweat-inducing, surprising moves with a fitness element. A restorative end to each of her classes promises to leave students refreshed and invigorated for the rest of the day. While Jenny is a recent transplant to Eagle, she is excited to be a part of the Red Yoga staff.
