	Celeste Ambrose Celeste is a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance, RYT 500, and has been teaching yoga at TWC since 2007.  Her fitness philosophy is “Use it or Lose it."  Celeste’s  main focus is Yoga practice as it applies to range of motion and balance.  Celeste appreciates balance of the body (as in not falling down) and also balance in life -- taking time to appreciate the good moments in life, spending time with friends and family, and nurturing yourself so that you can provide love and care for others.  Celeste enjoys spending time with her family; husband, daughter and 4 big Labs; walking those dogs especially with a girlfriend, cooking, listening to music, dancing and practicing Yoga!!
	Lindsey Barrett-Loomis Lindsey completed her Yoga Teacher Training in Missoula in 2011. She’s been teaching at TWC since August of 2011.  Her teaching philosophy is that no matter which Yoga you like, be it mindfulness, asana, or restorative breathing...it is Your Yoga.  You should live in the moment to be comfortable with you today, this moment.  Lindsey’s hobbies outside of teaching include:   reading, mothering, and encouraging others to empower themselves through the art of dance.

She focuses on alignment, breath, self-discovery and fun. Jen encourages and empowers her students to tap into their inner source of wisdom and strength in order to make the practice their own. Her teaching philosophy includes being open to all yoga traditions and she brings a classical, yet multi-dimensional aspect, to her classes.
	Amanda Holloway Amanda Holloway began practicing yoga in 1997 on the beautiful beaches of northeast Florida. She was immediately hooked, and continued on to get her yoga instructor certification in Philadelphia through Power Yoga Works in 2008.  She has been teaching at the Club since January of 2011. Yoga brought so much richness and growth to her own physical, emotional and spiritual journey, that she saw no option but to share this immense love with others. She hopes to instill this passion into all of her students, on and off that mat. Her free time is spent creating, adventuring and snuggling her dog.
	Karla Hoover Karla knew early on that she wanted to share her love of yoga with others, so she enrolled in and completed CorePower Yoga's 200-hour Vinyasa teacher training.  She's been teaching at TWC since the fall of 2011.  Her main focus is safety and alignment, but she also believes that yoga is an important outlet for play which is often missing from adult life.  Karla's other passions include rock climbing, jewelry making, horseback riding, and travelling.
	Lynn Roberts Lynn is an accredited T'ai Chi Chih and Seijaku instructor who began teaching at The Women’s Club in 1999.  Her fitness philosophy is first and foremost her TCC practice, a moving meditation of body/mind/spirit.  Like all forms of exercise, one must practice when they want to and when they don't want to; the results tell it all.  Outside of the Club, Lynn loves dogs and misses her Shih Tzu, T'ai, who passed in 2010.  She also enjoys knitting, baking, playing dominos, spending time with friends, dancing, and travelling.
	Sarah Roeder Sarah has practiced Holistic Massage Therapy since 1999.  She is a registered member of the American Massage Therapy Association, as well as a Yoga Teacher Training certified instructor.  “I believe that our bodies need strengthening from the inside out,” says Sarah.  “Developing core strength in the pelvis and deep belly is needed in most western bodies.  Make sure your heart and stamina are healthy with cardio, but love your bones too with strength training.”  If she could perpetually play outside, she would.  Sarah also loves gourmet cooking with her husband.
