Amy Jones
Owner, Certified Hand Clapper, Expert Time Keeper
have been teaching fitness classes for over 20 years starting in the Lakes Region at The Racquetball Club in Laconia. My love of fitness continued to grow and I continued to teach during my college years at UNH, my years in Boston, back here at Gilford Hills and LASC and now here at Studio 151. I
love sharing my passion for fitness with others and encouraging participants to push themselves out of their comfort zone and to help reach
their goals. My goal is to make fitness fun and create a fun energetic motivating environment that is comfortable for everyone. When I am not
teaching here at the Studio I am working in the medical field, spending time with my husband Aaron and two boys Rowan and Carter.

Catrina Gray
Yogi, Tai Yoga, Super Mom
My Yoga Life started in 2011 when I began training for a half marathon. I would practice yoga once a week to stretch those tired, tight running muscles. I moved from the half marathon training to half iron training. That was when my life really began to turn around. I found myself emotionally involved in my yoga practice. I was feeling the intensity of my training and looking forward to that hour on my mat. I loved and hated the feelings that would come up during my practice. Sometimes I would leave feeling refreshed and ready for my day; other times I would be angry and frustrated.
Over time I learned that battle was my inner peace and my ego. Little did I know I was about to embark on a personal journey that would forever change my life. I began thinking about teaching yoga to children and started to look into yoga teacher training. After 3 years of thinking about it, I signed up for the 200 hour teacher training certification through Vidya Vinyasa Yoga; instructed by Melissa ScagliariniE-RYT 500 and Katie O’Connell E-RYT 500.
Having completed the Basic level Childlight Yoga teacher training in Dover, NH, I have already begun to teach in the classrooms. I have also attended many yoga workshops including Girish, Karen Kenney, Yoga Caps, Inc. with Jay Gupta, and Anatomy with Matthew Scagliarini PT, DPT.
I have run multiple half marathons, the Derry 16 Miler Boston Prep, sprint triathlons, New England Tri-fest Olympic triathlon, and the Mascoma Man Half Iron.
I hope to complete one more half Iron in the next few years.
Sharing my practice to find inner peace and grace in everyday life is a dream come true.
My two children and husband would agree Yoga is the best thing that has ever happened to us.
Classes:
Yoga Flow - Mondays 9am
Intro to Yoga - Tuesday's 4:15pm
