I was introduced to yoga through P90X, and fell in love with it. It was one of the hardest things I have tried to do but felt I so relaxed when done. I starting going to classes to learn more about yoga and learn more poses. I have learned so much from going to classes and workshops that I wanted improve myself and help others feel goodabout themselves as well; so I began yogateacher training. I did my 200hr teacher training at Emmaus yoga. Now I love sharing my knowledgeof yoga and helping people.

I teach Both Vinyasa Flow and Ashtanga; both have so many benefits to give everyoneregardless of their skill. In my vinyasa classes I like to either work on a body part or towards a peak pose, depending on what the class needs. I teach anywhere from beginners to advanced. My intention is to make every student feel comfortable and help them achieve their goals. With Yoga anything is possible.

500-RYT: ASHTANGA, HATHA, VINYASA FLOW, YIN
My yoga journey began when I was fourteen years old, taking a vinyasa flow class every Tuesday evening in an intimate group setting at my best friend’s house. Since then, I have traveled for years abroad and practiced at various studios along the way, learning many different styles of yoga. After earning my masters degree in International Business Development, September 2018, I knew it was the perfect time to shift my focus towards one of my greatest passions and visit the place where yoga first started. A few months later, I set off to India where I would become a Registered Yoga Teacher in January 2019. My view of yoga has evolved from being an exercise routine to a way of life. I dedicate myself to a daily practice, and I am eager to share my understanding of yoga both on and off the mat.

Niccole, a fitness enthusiast, fell in love with Aerial Yoga after experiencing her first Antigravity class. She loves how using the yoga hammock supports one's body in the different poses. The hammock allows your body to work against gravity helping you to get deeper into stretches. Aerial yoga provides many unique health benefits...it can help lengthen your ligaments, relax your muscles and decompress your spine among many others.

Niccole received her 250-hour aerial yoga training from the Aerial Yoga Academy. The program is approved by Yoga Alliance. Niccole is also a Certified Massage Therapist (New Jersey School of Massage Therapy, now Cortiva), a Holy Fire Reiki Master Instructor (International Center for Reiki Training) and an Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) Master Instructor (The Center of Being, Inc.). Niccole loves studying herbal medicine at The American College of Healthcare Sciences. Additionally, she is also a full-time mom to 2 beautiful and very active children. In her free time she enjoys making herbal elixirs, tonics, teas, and extracts. 

I was introduced to yoga in college and it wasn’t until 2003, It was suggested that I add yoga as part of my training for cycling long distances. I had practiced yoga off and on since then and was discovering the other benefits of yoga through stress reduction and just life balance. My yoga practice has benefited other activities I enjoy like  hiking and rock climbing. My personal goals are to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle through physical, mental and nutritional focuses. Through my practice, I discovered many other attributes of yoga and was craving to learn and grow.  I completed my 200+ hour Yoga Teacher certification through the Yoga Life Institute in Devon, PA, 2012.  Through this training, I went through several specialized workshops  and intensives that included Yin Yoga,Nutrition, Aryvedic Practices, Yoga for Arthritis and Yoga Therapy.

Two years ago, I experienced my first AntiGravity Fitness class at the AG Yoga LAB eager to try a new fitness and yoga routine. From my first inversion, I felt empowered by the benefits of AntiGravity and have been practicing ever since. AntiGravity Yoga has transformed my life by opening my body and my mind; rejuvenating my endocrine and lymph systems, realigning my spine, and increasing my self-awareness and confidence.

Today, I am a certified level one AG Fundamentals Instructor. When I am not flying in the Harrison AntiGravity Hammock, you can find me hiking, painting, gardening, and looking for the next adventure. I believe in the power of mindfulness and that positive energy is contagious. Join us for class, I promise you will leave happier, healthier and taller!

Larissa has been practicing yoga for 20 years.  She took her first class in 1998, while fulfilling a gym requirement in college.  Then she became hooked - not just by the physical  practice, but by the way yoga helped her body, mind and soul feel on and off the mat.  To further deepen her practice, she completed ChildLight Yoga and Yoga 4 Classrooms Teacher Training in 2015, 250 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Easton Yoga in 2017, and Restorative Yoga Teacher Training. at Yoga Vida in NYC with Abbie Paloma, and Ally Bogard . She is currently pursuing her 300 hour teacher training at the Yoga Loft in Bethlehem, PA and continues to seek out further opportunities to learn both on and off the mat.  In teaching both children and adults, Larissa firmly believes that yoga can be practiced by all.  She teaches a mindful vinyasa flow that is challenging and invigorating, but also creates a space for stillness.  Whether you are new to yoga or are a seasoned yogi, she strives to cultivate an accessible and inclusive practice to honor all students who venture into her class.  Larissa currently teaches at Anti-Graviy Lab, Allentown, Easton Yoga, The Yoga Loft, Bethlehem and Pratyush Sinha Foundation.  You can connect with Larissa online anytime through Facebook and Instagram @thelovelylittlelotus.  When she isn't sharing her love of yoga with others, she is also a mom of three boys as well as a lawyer, professor and parent support guide for families whose children have special needs.  

I tried yoga as a way to stay strong and flexible and immediately fell in love with the mental and physical health benefits that I didn’t get from any other type of exercise. Eventually I decided to become certified to teach so I could deepen my practice and help others get that amazing feeling I would have after class. Through Yoga Teacher Training I was introduced to the philosophical aspects of Yoga including Karma, which are so helpful when dealing with the stresses of modern life. I remember when I started being uncomfortable when I was the only guy in the class or embarrassed that I wasn’t very flexible or couldn’t hold a pose for long but I’m so glad I had supportive teachers and a positive environment that kept me from giving up and I hope to do the same for others. I believe we should never stop learning and challenging ourselves to try new things while remaining humble and always optimistic!

I like to start every class with a positive message or funny story, a dedication to self-improvement, a minute of letting go of stress and negativity and deep yogi breathing. Then some warm up stretching and a challenging flow that combines holding poses, twisting and balancing asanas and of course a relaxing and refreshing Savasana. I play a variety of fun, upbeat and inspiring music to fit the mood and I try to use humor whenever possible. We practice yoga to get away from stress so why take anything too seriously?

Every time I teach a class my goal is to create a fun, friendly, environment where people come to get away from the stress of life, improve their bodies, clear their minds and leave feeling accomplished, mentally and physically strong, filled with positive energy and ready to take on the rest of their week! See you on the matt!

Hi, my name is Julie Reichl.   I have always had a love of fitness . Exercising and healthy eating has been an important part of my life. They have brought me many blessings and friendships along the way.. I have a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Health Promotion. I worked at a hospital fitness center for ten years doing personal training, group fitness classes, and running classes. I took eight years off to raise my babies and now I’ve decided to get certified in Aerial Yoga so I can start helping people achieve their fitness goals. I found Antigravity Yoga 6 months ago and fell in love with the beautiful stretch and workout it gave me. Plus, it was so fun! It took me back to my childhood of swinging upside down without a care in the world. My hope is to make people leave the class feeling wonderful, stretched out and ready to tackle their week ahead.   

I enjoy spending time with my husband(Joe) and two boys (Shane and Tanner). We  love the outdoors! We  grow an enormous garden every summer. It seems to get bigger every year. We also love kayaking, fishing, having campfires,and  raising monarch butterflies. We love animals and have a full house full of pets. Chickens, cats, dog, fish and a yard full of toads,  which my boys catch daily to visit with. It’s important to me to teach my boys about nature and the little miracles that occur all around us on a daily basis.   

Come fly with me and let’s get stronger and better together!

Jen was reintroduced to yoga by a dear friend in the summer of 2017, after being away from her

practice for quite some time. Little did she know how much of an impact it would have on her life.

From that day on, she developed a daily practice that not only challenged her on a physical level, but

mentally and emotionally as well. Her love for yoga led her to enroll and complete her 200-hour RYT

program at the Center for Yoga in Birmingham, Michigan to further deepen her practice and use her

knowledge to help others on their journey towards self-love, acceptance, wellness, and appreciation

for all they do in their daily lives.

“Yoga is the one thing that you can do for yourself every day that you will be so thankful for. When

you combine breath and movement together in a sequence of vinyasa flows, you are awakening an

energy inside you that both empowers you, yet humbles you…through moving meditation, you find a

way to harvest that energy to help you through those challenging moments on the mat that will

ultimately help you to navigate through this beautiful, yet challenging creation we called life.” Jen

Gio was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. He began his fitness journey playing a variety of sports, including baseball, football, swimming and MMA. Later on in life, he taught Ashtanga Hot Yoga and created the class known as Hot -G45.  He is also certified in Personal Training, CPR, EMT-B, and EVOC.

With over 15 years of fitness experience and a highly motivational attitude, he will push you beyond your imaginary limits! Gio is passionate about going above and beyond to help others exceed their fitness goals. Join him on the other side of fear!

My name is Jessica Tummarello. I am a current student and a recent graduate of a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training program at West End Yoga located in Allentown. I currently am in the midst of completing studies focused on environmental sciences and botany. I plan to start a non-profit  upon graduation. I was first introduced to yoga more than ten years ago and fell in love almost instantly. In the past five years I made a recommitment to my mat and it was at that pivotal point that my yoga journey truly began. I love to go hiking, I love to garden and I love to paint! The arts have become a way of life for me. I believe laughter is the best medicine and through my commitment to yoga and my dear friends I have learned to not take myself so serious. Yoga helps me love my body, it controls my mind and brings me joy. I want others to be able to experience just that. Namaste.
