Being in the body, the mind and in emotional presence without relenting to the desire to escape challenging feelings brings growth. In committing to this process, Annette has found relief from physical and emotional pain and has gained more connection to self, others and her beloved activities.

She has focused on improving quality of movement and tending to all aspects of the human experience. Her yoga study began in 2009 with Anusara.

Jamie Law is a Brooklyn, NY native and found yoga over 10 years ago. Yoga has been a constant reminder to stay present, open and breathe through every moment that life presents.

She includes chanting, poetry, and mudras to help set the theme and present students with a point of focus.

She is excited to continue towards her 500-hr certification this year.

Jamie began practicing Yoga in 2011 while dealing with a spinal injury left over from many years of competitive gymnastics. It was clear early on that the benefits went beyond the merely physical. That's when she decided to devote herself not only to daily Asana practice, but also the philosophy behind the ancient tradition. Although Jamie completed her 200 hr Vinyasa certificate in 2014, this was just the beginning of her yoga education. She moved to North Carolina, where she developed a disciplined Ashtanga practice under authorized teacher Larry Hobbs, and traveled to India to study intensively under the guidance of Guru Sharath Jois. Now back in the States, Jamie is based out of Boulder, CO, where she continues to study under Amy Ippoliti. In her teaching, Jamie combines Amy's Anusara alignment principles, the discipline of Ashtanga, and Yogic philosophy into a fun, engaging, and informative experience.
