Sarah Kline
Sarah teaches a blend of Hatha Yoga, integrating Kripalu, Ashtanga and Kundalini into her practice. She believes in the invigorating power that yoga offers the mind, body and spirit.
Sarah Kline grew up in the Bahama Islands living on a boat with her parents who were writing and editing a guide for Yachtsman. She holds a B.A. in French and a Masters in Psychology and Counseling. She began her practice of yoga in the early 1990's when she traveled to Lenox, Massachusetts to study at the Kripalu Center. Sarah's Hatha practice is inspired by the teachings of her instructors; Stephen Cope, Shiva Rea, David Swensen & Shelley Washington, Rama Birch, Andrea Boyd & Jeffrey Cohen, Tom & Noele Pace.
Sarah views life as dynamic and believes that the key is to stay flexible. She is focused on caring for the human body as well as attending to relationships that support our lives. For Sarah, becoming flexible mentally and physically begins on her yoga mat.
Sarah's favorite pose is Urdhva Dhanurasana (upward facing bow pose). Regular practice of this pose keeps the body supple and creates a feeling of vitality and lightness, stimulating the adrenal glands and thus increasing one's will power and capacity to bear stress.
Neesha Zollinger
Neesha is a Certified Anusara Yoga Instructor. This form of Hatha yoga, developed by John Friend, is a combination of life affirming philosophy and balanced action informed by the breath and physical alignment principles.
Neesha Zollinger grew up in Logan, Utah and Chewelah, Washington. She studied Dance and Soil Science and Environmental Studies at Southern Utah University and Utah State University where she graduated Cum Laude. In 1991, she began her formal training in yoga. Since 1999 she has been teaching regularly with blessings from her teacher, Terrie Lauterbach-Cotts. After moving to Jackson, Wyoming, she met Margot Snowdon who introduced her to Anusara Yoga and became her primary mentor. Neesha owns and manages her own studio, Akasha Yoga, located in downtown Jackson.
Anusara is a Sanskrit word that means, "stepping into the flow of nature" or "following your essence." Anusara Yoga embraces intentionality: cultivating skills and virtues to empower the yoga practitioner to become the person that he or she wants to be both on and off of the mat. The results are freedom in the body, mind, and heart, with a more expansive perspective of life. Since Neesha's discovery of Anusara, she has studied over 600 hours with Certified Anusara Yoga teachers, including founder John Friend.
Neesha's favorite pose is a backbend of any shape and form because of its playful nature and radically transforming essence. Done properly, it imparts sensations of confidence, bliss, strength, and open-heartedness.
Adi Amar
Adi's style is based on a background in Iyengar and Ashtanga, but she primarily teaches traditional Ashtanga and Vinyasa (flow) classes, integrating the spiritual and philosophical teachings of yoga.
Adi Amar was born in Israel where she lived on a Kibbutz until the age of four when her family relocated to Houston, Texas. At the age of 15, Adi began practicing Yoga as a healing tool after her mother was involved in a near fatal car accident. Her formal training began in 2001 at Mount Madonna under Baba Hari Daas whose teaching has been her inspiration. She has also studied with Tim Miller, Dharma Mittra, David Williams, Eric Schiffman and Doug Swenson. Adi co-owns the Teton Yoga Shala in Wilson Wyoming.
Her favorite pose is Sirsasana (Headstand). Known to be the King of all "asanas", the headstand stimulates the crown chakra where bliss resides. In this position the world is literally turned upside down, and we are afforded the opportunity to view the world from a different perspective. Inversions re-circulate blood through the body, revitalizing and rejuvenating, while increasing concentration and enhancing the overall function of the vital organs.
