Her classes combine Anusara alignment, healing touch and buddhist philosophy.  She is grateful to her amazing teachers: John Friend, Darcy Lyon and to Thich NhatHanh, her biggest inspirations.  Feeling very naturally connected to the planet, shespends most of her free time hiking in nature with her family.

Yoga connects us to all beings everywhere, starting with ourselves. So that we see the light in each other’s eyes, live the love in our hearts and take flight on the joy of being alive. Jeremy’s classes are playful, engaging and open to everyone. May we all find the healing potential within, just waiting to be awakened.

In 2003, Jeremy began his practice and intensive study of Anusara Yoga® while living in Los Angeles. Through this practice he experienced a revelation – with right effort life can be easier, more aligned with our true desires and delightfully fun. Totally inspired, he completed his first Anusara teacher training in 2005 and taught his first public yoga class in 2006. Jeremy is now proud to be a Certified Anusara Yoga Teacher.

In 2007, Jeremy became an AcroYoga teacher. He is so grateful for Acroyoga, it’s the first practice that has holistically provided a safe, sacred space to explore trust and deepen connections with all beings. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us as we turn the world into our playground. Jeremy currently teaches Anusara Yoga and AcroYoga classes, workshops, immersions at Yoga Tree San Francisco and around the country. Jeremy enjoys acrobatics, playing the harmonium, practicing thai massage and watching the sky.

Jeremy offers immense gratitude to all his teachers that have shared their love and light so that he can take flight: Sianna Sherman, John Friend, Ross Rayburn, Jenny Sauer-Klein, Jason Nemer, Janet Stone, Ajan Supron Mukomla, Master Lu Yi, Tim and Tara Dale and so many more.

Beginning the study of yoga in 1983 with Julie Kimball in Santa Cruz, Karl completed the 500 hour 2 year Advanced Studies/Teacher Training program at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in San Francisco in the mid 1990’s and studied various forms with many teachers though the years including, but not limited to, Judith Lasater, Manouso Manos, Shandor Remete, Patricia Walden, Francois Raoult and Yogacharya Sri BKS Iyengar in India in 1996. Karl went on to apprentice with Evlaleah Howard in public classes and her therapeutic back care classes, and then many years of ongoing apprenticeship and study with Ramanand Patel. Karl was Director of the Iyengar Yoga Institute for 2 years in 2001; and has taught Teacher Trainings Yoga Sutras at the Iyengar Institure, and asana Teacher Trainings and the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Yoga Program, Yoga Tree and the Yoga Loft in San Francisco.

Karl also studies Vedanta with Swami Dayananda Saraswati (http://arshavidya.org/teachers_gurukulam.html#SWAMIJI) and north indian classical song and nada yoga with Pandit Mukesh Desai, a longtime disciple of Pandit Jasraj. Karl leads Kirtan, the practice of devotional song, and teaches philosophy from the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita as well as the chanting of traditional vedic verses.

Kavita’s practice is inspired by yoga’s power to heal from within and to open us to our fullest potential.  These core tenets are what drive her to teach, and what she strives to impart to her students.  Kavita began practicing yoga in 1997 but it was not until she met Katchie Ananda, Certified Anusara Teacher, in 2006 that she commited to deepening her understanding of asana and yoga philosophy.  With Katchie’s guidance and support, Kavita completed several immersions/trainings and began teaching in 2010. Kavita continues to apprentice with Katchie and is currently assisting her 100-hour Anusara immersion. Kavita also studies with Scott Blossom, Shadow Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic Consultant. For their dedication and generosity, Kavita is grateful to all her teachers. She endeavors to offer the same inspiration through teaching that she has experienced through learning.

Ginger Coy brings a heartfelt joy to the practice and teaching of yoga.  Ginger has been teaching since 2008 and practicing yoga since 2000, noticing from her first yoga classes that she liked standing up straight and stretching and her arms were sore! In 2006, she began her journey with Anusara yoga and immediately was drawn to Anusara’s bio-mechanics and its emphasis on heart opening.  She has completed 200 hours of Anusara Teacher Training with Certified Anusara teacher, Stacey Rosenberg and assisted Stacey’s Immersion as well as her classes for 2 years. She also is grateful to and inspired by Desiree Rumbaugh, Laura Christensen, and Abby Tucker.

Ginger is the founder of BayShakti.com, a blog she created for the Anusara community in the Bay Area. With about 30 contributors, Bay Shakti celebrates the shakti, or vitality, of the Bay Area by providing a forum for the community to share blog posts. Ginger, on behalf of Bay Shakti, has video interviewed notable teachers,  Sianna Sherman, Darren Rhodes, and John Friend, among others. It is her wish to unite the community online to help uplift yoga teachers and students alike, by providing a blogging platform for them. It is her belief that sharing information is sharing energy, and as you share energy, you share a thread that connects you to others.  As everyone shares different threads, the tapestry is woven, and the fabric of life is all the more richer. As one of us is uplifted so is the rest!

What you’ll find in Ginger’s classes is a welcoming quality of earnestness and a safe space for you to explore strengthening, alignment, and heart opening.  Ginger combines playfulness and seriousness, and endeavors to be ‘seriously playful’.

While living in India, Steven Saftig discovered a deep-seeded love for color, celebration and spice.  However, it wasn’t until he moved to San Francisco in 2007 that he wandered into his first Anusara Yoga class and had the following realization: what first appeared as some bendy stretching on the outside was actually a way of cultivating a tangible connection between body and heart on the inside.

With the support of an incredible community and under the guidance of his teacher, Darcy Lyon, he delved deeper into this practice, eventually realizing that color, celebration and spice could be his own personal definition of yoga.  He completed his teacher training in early 2011 and is certified with the Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level.

Steven’s classes are a vibrant celebration of life, grounded in compassion and immensely respectful of the importance of play.

He is eternally grateful to all of his teachers, with extra high-fives to Darcy Lyon, Elena Brower, Tony Giuliano, Alison Alstrom, Terra Marzano and Stevie Nicks.

Jasmine Constanzo studies functional human anatomy from many different perspectives, including Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, Osteopathy, Reiki, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and of course~Anusara Yoga® . Osteopathic Medicine’s focus is on the inherent health of our bodies, as the Tantric path of Anusara emphasizes our innate light and divine goodness.  Both disciplines are a science and an art form that embody universal principles of alignment and the inseparable unity of structure and function.  The effort we engage through our inquiry into the Guru within is most enjoyable when accompanied by a joyful curiosity, a humor at our observations, a trust in the process, solid community, and a justice in the journey.  Jasmine is so excited and honored to learn with you soon!
