Hello I’m Kristen Lightbody, I hold a Master of Science in Health & Exercise Science from East Stroudsburg University. While attending ESU in 2005 I took my first yoga class and was amazed by the instant positive results it had on me! Wanting to share the rewards of yoga with my clients I became Yoga Alliance certified 180HR Vinyasa Yoga Instructor in 2009. I followed that certification up with a 200HR Ashtanga Yoga Instructor certification in 2013.  

In 2015 a friend invited me to take a Barre fitness class with her. I had been through rehab for meniscus surgery a few months prior so I was apprehensive at first. After class I was pleasantly surprised I felt wonderful! Wanting to share the strength and increased mobility I gained in that first Barre class with my clients I became a certified Barre Above Instructor in 2016.

I currently live in Germansville with my boyfriend, 2 cats; Mia & Clyde & Golden Retriever; Sheena. I enjoy being outdoors: whether it’s walking, biking, gardening or relaxing w/friends listening to awesome tunes in the sun & fresh air after a busy day of instructing fun classes for clients! 

I enjoy creating new healthy recipes for every occasion!

Discovering unique treasures at thrift shops! 

Caring for people, animals & the environment!   

Helping the World we live in become Happier, Healthier & Brighter for all!

Christina Roberts, M.S., RYT-200

Registered Instructor with the Yoga Alliance, In 2014, Christina completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training program in Pennsylvania. She develops yoga programming for a number of different audiences including endurance athletes, amputees, stroke victims and corporate groups. She collaborated for two seasons (2015/2016 & 2016/2017) with the American Hockey League’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms on integrating yoga into their rigorous training and travel schedules. She completed her Yoga for Athletes certification under the direction of Sage Rountree. 

 She completed a Sport Psychology Certification Program through California Southern University in 2017 and is currently a master’s candidate in the Sport Psychology Program at John F. Kennedy University.  

Through this journey, Christina has used breathing, mantras, and visualization techniques, normally a focus on the yoga mat, and applied them to the three disciplines in order to find a state of flow. This approach has proved useful both pre-race and during an event. Trust your abilities; believe in your training; finish with heart and just be proud.

Christina believes that life isn’t black and white; so neither is her approach.

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. 

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!

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!

INHC, RYT500

Ashley is an Integrative Nutrition & Holistic Health Coach, Yoga Instructor and Reiki Practitioner based in The Lehigh Valley. She began practicing Vinyasa when she was 14 years old and realized, “yoga is as much for the mind and soul as it is the body.”

A few years later, Ashley discovered the universal law of attraction, began researching metaphysics and started teaching yoga classes while studying Mass Communications and Marketing.
​
At 19, Ashley had her first Reiki session and understood the profound healing potential in energy work. That same month, she followed her inspiration and left to study abroad in Europe, where she lived for 3+ years and earned her Masters Degree in International Business Development at IPAG Business School in France.
​
After finishing grad school in 2018, Ashley traveled to Goa, India, where she lived and earned her first 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training in the styles of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha and Yin.  In 2019, she became the Mind & Body Coordinator of a Health & Wellness Center in Allentown, PA, received her Reiki L1 Certification and graduated from The Integrative School of Nutrition in New York, New York (2020).
​
Ashley understood adversity is a catalyst early on and became the mentor she envisioned during her childhood and teenage years.

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!

 As a teacher, Christina’s intention is to help others find balance in life on and off the mat. Christina came to her yoga mat looking for relief from anxiety and depression and discovered a new way of life. She found that practicing yoga and incorporating yogic principles to her life off the mat, helped her to make changes that promoted more peace and empowerment in her life. Feeling called to share her love of yoga with the world, Christina went to Thailand in 2018 to obtain her teaching certification and she went on to pursue her aerial fitness teaching certification in 2020. Christina teaches a flowing style of yoga that is equal parts gentle and powerful, and fueled by the connection to breath. She believes everyone deserves to feel at home in their bodies, at home on this planet, and inspired to live their lives fully. She looks forward to sharing the magic of yoga and the freedom of flight with you in her classes!
