Meet Amber, a passionate adventurer, a lover of the great outdoors, and one of your biggest cheerleaders on your health journey! Her background in dance and sports medicine & exercise science heavily influence her sytle of teaching. Amber's heart for anyone taking her class is to find  a deep love for taking care of their own bodies, to push themselves past their own limits, and to do it all with a SMILE! Show up for yourself in class, and she promises to deliver tough and creative moves that will keep your body guessing.

Jodi was drawn to the island of Kauai at a young age mesmerized by the natural beauty and the strong spiritual connection.  Staying fit and healthy has alwyas been a top priority for Jodi, but she didn't fall in love with yoga until 9 years ago when she went to her first beach yoga class in Kapaa taught by Anna.  She's been hooked ever since!

Jodi completed her 200 hour teacher training in Costa Rica in 2021 and is eager to share “all things yoga” with others.  “I stepped out of my comfort zone to attend the training at Brave Earth in Costa Rica not knowing anyone, with a goal to deepen my own practice and make some new friends.  I accomplished both and in doing so realized yoga can be so much more than I thought! It can change your life, infuse you with a sense of calm, provide the much needed balance in your life, the effort with the ease and this can stay with you long after you roll up your mat.”

When Jodi isn't taking a yoga class you may find her hiking or biking, gardening or cooking and quite possibly planning a another adventure abroad.  Namaste

Andrea traded Armani for Athleta one day and never looked back. In LOVE with barre. Instantly she trained with Anna at Barre Soul Kauai and later with The London Method barre to be TheOriginal class certified. She now owns her own studio in Palm Beach county, Florida. Follow her on IG @barrestudio4u. 

Hope loves yoga, animals, helping people, and all things fun and adventurous! 

Amanda’s been moving and shaking since inception. She grew up in a dichotomy of fun a competitive dance school and a rigorous ballet academy. The combination of the two lead her to a career in modern dance where self-expression meets technique to tell a story or create a feeling. Wanting to expand her reach, and teach movement to the masses outside of the theater, lead her to a career in group fitness. Her classes are a unique combination of many schools of thought behind movement as therapy, strength, and connection. Working in a physical therapy office in Los Angeles taught her how to coach bodies with differing needs while reinforcing the fact that all bodies crave and benefit from movement. She aims to increase the capability of her student’s physicality and knowledge of their worth.

Hey, I’m Kinsey! I’m a New Yorker through and through, but now I’m lucky enough to be living the island dream out here in Kauai. I love all things nature, fresh fruit, cooking up healthy foods, and exploring new places. I’ve been around yoga my whole life, having a yoga instructor as a mom and all, but it wasn’t until the past few years that I really decided to start my own yoga journey and dedicate my time to the practice. I signed up for Yoga Sculpt teacher training with CorePower Yoga when I was living out in Austin, TX in 2019, and loved it so much, I signed up for the 200hr teacher training right after. So now I’m both yoga sculpt certified and 200 RYT and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve learned through linking movement and breath, our bodies can accomplish anything, and our minds can become clearer. So in each of my classes, I like to focus on the importance of breath with the connection of movement. Oh and of course we flow to a custom playlist because movement is always better with good tunes! My goal is to help you build physical strength, mental strength, and spiritual strength through your practice.

Lexie started her fitness journey training in ballet at the age of 5.  She loves to express herself in all styles of dance and performing on stage.  Throughout her youth she's been into singing, theater, modeling, cheerleading, and also danced hula and Tahitian.  Most recently, she decided she wanted to share her love of fitness and make a difference in others lives by becoming a Barre instructor.  She trained with Anna (owner of Barre Soul Kaua'i) in a one week Barre intensive in March 2021.  Lexie is always thinking of new ways and trying out new things to improve her health, mind, and body. Come join her in class as her fresh spirit and bright smile will surely motivate and inspire you!

VanNghi has been with the Barre studio from nearly the start and opts for Barre to stay in tune with her body. She puts a lot of work into her song selections, enjoys celebrating old and new students alike, and is especially good at keeping things fun.  Her ultimate love is all things dance related - more specifically - teaching people who might not otherwise participate how to easily find their place on the dance floor.  She can be found teaching various styles of dance at the studio including Thriller, Swing, and couple's Ballroom styles.  She is a responsible & inclusive part of the family and hopes to keep Barre in her life so long as she can move!
