Red Lotus Yoga & Healing

Brittany Anderson is an advocate in mind-body health combining a background in trauma-conscious mental health counseling and 200hr yoga teacher training. Her teaching style is intended to create a room of safety in emotion and physiology. She may offer up that you meet your edge, but always leads back to a secure place.

Her focus is a vinyasa practice so expect some variation of sun salutations, but each class offers a balance of effort and ease suitable to all levels. Modifications and guidance are offered but students are encouraged to make each asana a personal expression taking it to the level their body desires.

Amanda’s journey has always been both creative and expressive. She started a lifelong practice in ballet and experienced expression in movement, spatial awareness, and dance as an emotional outlet. Her artistic nature and love of the arts found expression through painting, collage and sculpting.

In 2013 Amanda found herself living in San Diego where she pursued her interest in art but could not connect with a ballet studio. After attending a yoga class she discovered another part of herself. Yoga opened Amanda up to a whole new view of life. She knew immediately that she wanted to share her love of yoga with others. During her yoga journey, she had a son and that changed everything! Yoga for her changes daily with all the many stages of being a mom. Yoga helped her physically, mentally as well as with bonding with her little love.

Amanda completed her 200 hour teacher training at Pilgrimage of the Heart, San Diego, in 2014 and then became a certified Seed and Song teacher in 2017.

Carolyn Swomiak found herself when she found yoga.  Yoga put her on a self healing journey she did not expect to embark upon, but it has been life changing ever since.  Carolyn brings a soulful energy as she guides you through your class, so when you leave you will feel physically and emotionally charged. She attaches emotion to the physical, as you guide through movement.  Carolyn believes you should feel the harmonic connection between mind, body and soul with each class.  She will sprinkle in some insight to yogic philosophy during some of her classes.  If the philosophy doesn’t serve you, you can take it as beautiful imagery.  

Carolyn is very passionate about her inversion practice. She believes it helped her greatly in dealing with severe anxiety disorder.  While upside down all focus is on breath and balance, leaving no space for outside thoughts.  She hopes to help serve you on your journey to the upside down world if that is something that interests you.  

During Carolyn’s class you’ll most likely be introduced to different forms of pranayama, breath work, she feels this is a very beneficial tool in helping manage anxiety and stress. 

Carolyn graduated from Boundless Yoga Studio as a RYT 200.  She is overjoyed to share space with you and help spread love and light.  Come join Carolyn for some peace love and Namaste. 

Nicole believes yoga is the answer to everything- purpose, belief, community, a how-to for life. She started her personal practice in 2016 and received her 200 hour teaching certification with Maitri YTT at Ananda Ashram in 2019 where she was given the name Aranyadevi which means The Goddess of the Forest. Nicole teaches vinyasa style yoga which she likes to look at as a moving meditation. She encourages her students to look within and connect with themselves. In her class you will learn how yoga is so much more than just the physical practice and how it has the power to transform our body, mind and spirit. 

For Susan, becoming a 200HR RYT lead to the discovery of her authentic self and allowed her to connect to the child within. This newly found gift has unleashed the fountain of youth inside her where the energy of the mind, body and spirit continues to grow and flow every day on and off the yoga mat. It wasn’t until I began studying for my 200HR RYT certification at Boundless Yoga Studio in East Stroudsburg, that I came to fully appreciate and understand more deeply that connection. It has become second nature to intertwine the philosophy, practice, and lifestyle of yoga, with my daily life. My journey has just begun!

My classes are inspired to enhance the connection between the mind, body and personal spirit. Mindfulness, Meditation and breath are all connected to the physical aspect of the postures. The goal of class is to foster self-awareness and acceptance, grounding us for growth and personal development. Each class can be a moment of self-discovery and space to explore ourselves internally and find compassion for ourselves and others.

Jillian Harper is 200 hr Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance.  She completed her training at the Boundless Yoga Studio in Stroudsburg, PA.  After completing her masters degree in Exercise Physiology at the University of Southern MIssissippi, Jillian has dedicated her career to helping others find joy and freedom through movement. Jillian is excited to continue her growth in yoga by increasing her knowledge and practice in many other yoga styles such as Restorative, Yin and Ashtanga.   When she isn't on the mat,  she loves to spend time with her husband Matt, their daughter Audrey and their two dogs, Hobbs and Gus Gus.

For Kristen, the continuous practice of yoga has been a transformative journey. Her mat has become an anchor in her life, providing an avenue to sanctuary, relief, self love and personal growth. Her hope is to offer everyone an opportunity to develop a deeper, more compassionate conversation with their minds, bodies and spirits through the unfolding of their practice.

Kristen currently works in the mental health field and and is a graduate of the 200 hour yoga teacher training at Boundless Yoga Studio. She is also certified in Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga and recently completed her Reiki II and Thai Yoga Massage Level I certifications. She hopes to continue her education exploring both kundalini and tantric yoga.

Kate DeAngelo (200RYT) Earned her Bachelors in English Journalism in 2004, and proceeded to go on to earn her Masters in Secondary Education in 2011. Working her way through graduate school at Borders books enabled her to constantly share her passion with other people. In October of 2011 she became a mother to Charlie. Her life shifted in a major way, while being a Paralegal allowed her to be flexible enough care for her son as he attended daycare and preschool, she was looking for something more. As his fifth birthday approached she decided to make the first step to return to the teaching world, she signed up for Yoga Teacher Training.   

Unlike her M.Ed. Kate felt that her Yoga Teacher Training left her with more questions then answers. “It has just opened so many doors to so many ways of learning and moving that I didn’t even know existed, now I want to know more about all of it”. Looking to continue her education immediately she signed up for SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) Yoga Teacher Training. It was the perfect opportunity to take her knowledge in to the out doors, as she enjoys hiking and camping with her family.

Kate loves to use music and breath to influence her movements, “When I taught poetry I brought music into the classroom to keep it relevant for my students, I want to do the same thing for my Yoga students”. Kate also enjoys the exploration process that Yoga can allow, “I love that I can move my body in ways I never thought possible, and it comes from experimenting with your own edge and seeing where you can go”.

Jackie is a 200 hr certified yoga teacher trained in vinyasa, yin, restorative and yoga nidra. She's studied many different styles of yoga in order to create diverse and inspiring classes. However, she will just end up teaching whatever the heck she wants at the moment.  Jackie has been practicing yoga for a long time, but that does not stop her from sometimes mixing up her left and rights or accidentally calling her hand her foot at least once per class.  She tries to keep the classes light-hearted, so there will often be bad puns, corny jokes, and yoga sarcasm.  Her goal is to try and provide the options to make yoga challenging while bringing greater awareness to both body and mind or help you keep your mind at a state of ease while providing the options to take the practice down a notch.

Emily Gavigan is a 200 hour certified yoga teacher serving the Poconos and Northeastern Pennsylvania. She is also certified in restorative and yin yoga and completed Seane Corn’s Spirit Speak program.

Emily feels that she is most comfortable in her body when she’s on her mat and wants to share that feeling with others in a place free from judgment. Emily places great importance on proper form and alignment, but also enjoys getting creative in class. She wants her clients to experience movements that feel good in their bodies but also give them a place to grow from. Her offerings include vinyasa classes, restorative yoga, and meditation. Her personal practice incorporates philosophy, prayer, creative sequencing, and crystals, and this is reflected back in her teaching.
