Deeply dedicated to serving humanity as we experience these intensely changing times, Crystelle feels that Kundalini Yoga is one of the best tools to help support us in gracefully navigating our lives. Having studied various forms of healing for over 12 years, nothing she experienced was quite as powerfully transformational, efficient, self-empowering and self-initiating as Kundalini Yoga. “The first Kundalini Yoga class I participated in left me feeling like I had found my true calling. With Kundalini Yoga, you are taking full responsibility for yourself, for your healing. You can ‘be healed’ by someone else, or you can take an active roll in initiating your own inner healing yourself (true empowerment)- The practice of Kundalini Yoga does not discriminate,it meets you right where you are, and it gives everyone the opportunity to step into their true power. One of the greatest things about it is that you are healing yourself while simultaneously doing your part to heal the entire planet...” "A committed practice brings true, deep and lasting healing!" Crystelle guides and holds the space for you to begin to tap into the dormant creative life energy (the Kundalini energy) that lies within each of us; that energy that allows you to live your best life ; your highest truth and potential, your ‘Sat Nam.’ Crystelle also enjoys making handmade malas and mala inspired jewelry, you can check them out in the studio or on Etsy: *Private sessions available by request Contact Crystelle: embracehealing@aol.com
Bethany Hard  Bethany Hard is a certified Naam Yoga Therapist and instructor
of both Khalsa Way Prenatal Yoga (certified by Gurmukh) and the Kabbalah of Birth and Beyond. She has studied intensely under Joseph Michael Levry (Gurunam) since 2004, and is deeply grateful for his tireless dedication to share these sacred teachings and serve humanity. 'Pregnancy
is a sacred time, a time of evolution for the soul of the mother.
It is a time when Life asks us to slow down, listen to our body, be in the Present Moment, listen to our intuition... I practiced Khalsa Way prenatal yoga with my first pregnancy and it changed my life. I was able to fully embrace the miraculous time of pregnancy and childbirth and now am deeply honored to share this wisdom with new mothers.' Originally from New York, Bethany is a former professional
ballerina and is also certified in Pilates and Gyrotonics. Fluent in Spanish, she travels regularly to Nicaragua, volunteering in orphanages and leading Yoga Retreats. Here in Nashville, she is co-founder of the Latina Birthing Project, a mentoring program for pregnant Latina teens, and teaches prenatal yoga in the Women's Prison. For more information, visit Bethany's website: bethanyhard.com Contact Bethany: naamnashville@gmail.com Stephanie Mouton (Siri Amir Kaur)  Stephanie became interested in yoga in 1968 following a hip injury from a horseback riding accident. She began after purchasing a three-dollar beginner yoga book and practicing in her living room at night after her family of six were sound asleep. It really helped her hip immensely, and she became a believer in yoga. Following Stephanie's medical residency in anesthesiology, she began sessions in Hatha yoga at home with a private instructor. Yoga helped to make her job stress more tolerable and after the birth of her son 13 years ago, she began a regular practice of ashtanga yoga 4-5 times a week. Hot yoga was also an occasional alternative, but the icing on the cake for Stephanie was Kundalini yoga, which she first experienced in 2006. 'Kundalini yoga is so powerful in all its technology of breathwork, movement, sound and meditation. It is almost inexplicable to convey the effect that it has on a person. Kundalini must be experienced to know one's soul. It is a blessing to receive the vibrations that arise in the practice. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from those who knew Yogi Bhajan. The world needs Kundalini yoga. My gratitude to all who practice it. It is a service for all.'

Meredith Blis Sincoff (Sat Shabad Kaur)
Meredith is thrilled to be a part of the Kundalini Rising Yoga Community. Originally from New York City, Meredith arrived in Nashville TN via Taos, NM in the summer of 2010. She began practicing Kundalini Yoga in 2003 while visiting Taos, NM. After having studied studying various forms of yoga & meditation she knew she was on the right path!
As her practice deepened Meredith was thrilled to discover how the technology of Kundalini Yoga changed her life by healing aspects of depression and opening her awareness to the joy in every moment. This energy continues to grow as well as her gratefulness of the blessings that life has to offer.
In the Spring of 2006 Meredith completed her teaching certification from Universal Force Healing Center in New York City. Most recently, Meredith completed a teacher training course for the Bound Lotus Kriya/Meditation with Mahan Kirn Kaur Khalsa. This experience, as well as the opportunity to learn and share this practice has been an amazing gift.

Amy Barnes
Amy is a seasoned yoga practitioner who began practicing in the late 1970’s. A Nashville native, she grew up with a yogini/artist Mom, and a grandmother who practiced to the “Richard Hittleman” (1950’s) yoga albums. Amy’s dad, Rev. Bill Barnes, also a Nashville native, is a Methodist minister who was a Civil Rights Activist in the 1960’s and is a life long instigator and servant of social justice.
The seeds of yoga took hold early in Amy’s life. Yoga is a large part of who she is, not just what she does. Amy’s own teachers are many, but the most influential are: Julie Russell (Mom), June LaSalvia, Erich Schiffman, Gayna Uransky, Richard Freeman, Sharon Gannon & David Life, Shiva Rea, and Saul David Raye. Jai Uttal has been her Bhakti Yoga inspiration for the last several years.
Amy’s practice of asana (posture), kriya (intentional action), pranayama (breath awareness/extension), dhyana (meditation) and KIRTAN, chanting the Divine name, continually deepen her understanding of the effects of practice. We become more sensitive, aware, and alive. Embodying & radiating this awareness helps us respond to ourselves and others from a natural and authentic state of kindness. Living in this way, in Divine Service, transforms our lives, our relationship with all sentient beings and global communities, into a more loving and joyful experience. Amy’s playful, passionate, and energetic style encourages students’ inner curiosity, listening, spontaneity, and exploration of one’s unique experience…opening to the possibilities of living the wonder of our human AND divine nature.
"One of my favorite Gurus, Osho, says that through the sincere practice of yoga, we are helping to create the conditions for the 'birth of a new kind of human being, one whose feet are firmly rooted on the ground, yet whose hands can touch the stars'. I feel we are these human beings!"
Amy teaches from a life richly lived, drawing on her background in the arts, theatre, dance, and music. She administered therapeutic body work for 12 years which lead into her 4 year psychotherapy training. She is a certified (body centered) psychotherapist and worked with individuals, couples, & groups Boulder, Colorado for several years. She is currently working with clients in a wholistic healing modality.
Amy discovered the magic of KIRTAN, singing with Dave Stringer at Yoga Source Nashville in 2000, and has been passionately exploring the practice and mystery of Bhakti Yoga ever since. She has been devotedly studying with her teacher Jai Uttal for the past several years, allowing this to become the center point of her creative and spiritual life. She currently leads kirtan in Nashville, Boulder, and other sacred places.

Christa Schoenbrodt
Christa's first yoga session was at the suggestion of a fellow traveler during a trip to Greece in 1987. That single class was her introduction to what was to become a major influence in her life, and she hopes to have a similar lasing impression in her classes. Her goal is to bring students to the meditative qualities of asana practice while also building strength, balance and awareness of breath and its impact on prana.
Since 1992, Christa has studied with teachers in the Iyengar, Ashtange, Vinyasa and Anusara traditions, including Stephanie Keach, Shala Worsley, Shiva Rea, Erich Schiffmann, Tim Miller, Rodney Yee, Sharon Gannon, David Life, John Friend, Gayna Uransky and of course, the teacher she is most grateful to for gently nudging and guiding her into teaching, Diane Avice du Bussion.
