Alaina Andrews: My passions in life are yoga, sailing, and design. I wish to bring beauty and peace into my life and others through these ventures.  I see the potential for beauty in all situations and wish to show others that it is possible for them as well. I studied Ashtanga yoga with Caroline Klebl in Yelapa, Mexico where I received my 200HR teaching certification. My classes include a flowing blend of Asanas (postures) based off of the Ashtanga practice. The postures are linked with the breath to create energy in and purify the body. I adapt each class to the needs of the individual students within the class giving many modifications and adjustments as needed.

Jamie Coffey Reynolds: Jamie recently relocated to Sarasota from Brooklyn, New York, where she completed her 200-hour certification with J. Brown at Abhyasa Yoga Center (AYC) in 2009.  She had the good grace of teaching at AYC, as well as at Barnard/Columbia University as an adjunct professor in their department of Physical Education.  With a background in competitive figure skating, Jamie enjoys movement and fitness of all types, but her yoga practice became more of a way of life.  Using a breath-centered approach and a focus on being in the moment (and enjoying it!), she loves to blend asana and vinyasa sequences that simply feel good in the body, mind, and spirit.  Jamie is also a proud graduate of New York University-Tisch School of the Arts, with an M.A. in Performance Studies, and is still pondering “to Ph.D. or not to Ph.D.?”  When she’s not on the mat you can find her running with her two dogs, fishing with her husband, or enjoying the sunshine and sand on Siesta Key.  

Tej Dharam: Tej is a KRI Certified Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan Instructor.  He trained in Austin, Texas under Mehtab Benson at Yoga Yoga.  He is a singer and guitar player, and often uses his musical talents when teaching.  You'll notice right away his brightness and deep presence.  He helps his students release the blocks that keep them feeling limited.  
He says, "I found love through Kirtan (devotional chanting) and Bhakti yoga (the yoga of love and devotion.)  I found stability, health, and vitality through Asana (pose/body position.)  I found awareness of subtle energies through energy healing.  A simple and sweet mind I found through meditation and pranayam (breathing exercises.)  Strength and foundation comes to me through community and teaching.  Compassion and humility comes through seva (selfless action).   I try to incorporate all these into my teaching style, so that these blessings become yours.  All of these combined is Kundalini Yoga, and it is so much more."  
"Kundalini Yoga is so diverse.  It is infinite in scope.  I am here to train practitioners, yogis that understand that they are their own guru.  There is this perfect and beautiful science of yoga, and it is available to everyone.  It is my great wish and goal to spread Kundalini to all willing participants, so that they realize their divine nature and unlimited potential."
"Sadhana (spiritual practice) is the thing that keeps you from going crazy in the aquarian age, and going crazy is forgetting that you are a divine being, forgetting your magnificence, your brilliance, and your worth.  Going crazy is forgetting your purpose and dodging your dharma (true path.) You must realize your infinity every day or you will think your Self limited.  Come practice yoga with me, and you will realize your divinity and grace."
