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. 

Emma Kate Keller, 500HR RYT, ChildLight Yoga Teacher and CHHC, was introduced to yoga in college, where she saw first hand the many benefits that yoga and mindfulness could bring to a person dealing with past pain and the struggle of young adult life. It was not until she attended an Ashtanga class in 2015 that she fell in love with yoga, and one year later started her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. Emma's passion is helping
children and teenagers find balance, release negative energy and get to know their true selves with the use of yoga, mindfulness and wellness practices.

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.

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.

Jenna Brown 200 Hr RYT, is an adventure seeking, nature loving and free spirited yogi. I love laughter, finding the happiness in life and letting my OM out. I was first drawn to yoga to help with the bursitis in my hips, I stayed because of the way it felt to my heart.
I began yoga during a transitional period of my life, discovering that it complimented my inward journey and helped me live in the moment. Wanting to share the joy I’ve found in yoga is what has inspired me to teach. I love the the power of a vinyasa class, sprinkled with some quiet meditation. Creating an open and safe space to help students look within to explore both their mental and physical practice is what I strive for. I love connecting with my students and watching them grow in their practice.

What led me to yoga? My close friend had been trying to drag me to a yoga class but the idea of being somewhere by 9:30 am let alone moving, being coordinated and friendly to strangers was not something in my wheelhouse (my non-yoga life is managing a jazz club). I finally acquiesced and after my first class I was hooked. Yoga came really naturally to me. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but had not practiced in many years. Yoga reawakened my mind body connection. It wasn't long after my first class that I decided I wanted to share yoga with anyone that would listen. 
3 words that describe how I live each day? Happy, playful, honest

How do I begin each day? Meditation, smoothie, hot water with lemon and honey and then a 1 mile walk with my #fourleggedlifepartner
