Amy Starner
Amy’s former life as a dancer, coupled with her many years of teaching movement, has given her a keen ability to truly teach from the inside out; not just making asana, but feeling what’s happening inside your body.
While she enjoys the physical “work-out” that Vinyasa Yoga can provide, she relishes the spiritual “work-in” that only yoga can offer – aligning mind, body & spirit. Her classes put an emphasis on awareness, alignment, breathing, and control. She holds an MFA in Dance and Choreography from UC Irvine, a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification from Spira Power Yoga in West Seattle, and is a certified Pilates Instructor from Studio du Corps/Pilates Center of Orange County in Costa Mesa, CA.
If you love to move with grace and power and enjoy strengthening your body, stretching your muscles and feeling movement in a new way, you will feel right at home in Amy’s yoga classes.

Caitlyn Jareki
Caitlyn discovered yoga at the age of 15 after being drawn to the movement and creative flow which she found similar to her favorite sport at the time, gymnastics. Mindfulness and relaxation were added benefits that soon became equally important in her practice. In 2015 Caitlyn completed her teacher training (RYT200) at Spira Power Yoga in West Seattle. She is also currently training to teach Reformer Pilates with Kara Krause at Innate Vitality. Caitlyn is also a Registered Nurse but currently spends most time with her son outside of teaching yoga. You can also find her at various yoga, barre and pilates classes where she is able to connect, get strong, and draw inspiration for her own classes. Caitlyn discovered a passion for anatomy, alignment and body awareness that she weaves through her classes with a mix of flow and fun.

Hillary Aldassy
Hillary initially sought yoga as a physical tool to care for her body and found it to be an ideal counterbalance to a stressful career. With the goal of helping others find similar balance, she has embarked on a journey that meant a break from her career to study and teach yoga. Her self-awareness, intuition and empathy translate into classes that are comforting, supportive, and inspiring for students of any age or ability level. Hillary uses humor, anecdotes from her own practice, and ideas for incorporating small movements and mindfulness into daily life to reinforce to students that yoga has great benefit even in small doses. Hillary completed her 200 hour Vijnana Yoga training with Kathryn Payne at Island Yoga Center on Vashon Island. Recognizing that yoga is an “evolving process” for most of us, she draws on advice and techniques from the wonderful community of teachers at Limber to deepen her own practice and teaching skills.
Uraina Nagy
Uraina first experienced the powerful effects of pilates while dancing in college at Florida State University. Shortly after graduating, she moved to Seattle to continue her passion in dance and to attain her Stott Pilates training and certification at Bodycenter Studios. Immediately upon completion, she was honored to accept a position teaching not only at the training center, but also at the Pacific Northwest Ballet and Movement Systems Physical Therapy. In her 14 years of teaching both privately and in group settings, she has enjoyed working with clients who are recovering from injury/surgery, clients with MS, autoimmune diseases and osteoporosis, pre/post natal women, and professional athletes. Continuing education classes and observing physical therapy sessions throughout each year keeps her inspired and well-informed. While Uraina has always known the importance of inner core strength, the birth of her first child in June of 2018 has brought her appreciation to a new level. Uraina has a warm and encouraging way of helping others increase their body awareness and facilitating a greater sense of connection and vitality!
