MEG BELICHICK
When I first started practicing yoga in 1995 my experience of my own body was from the outside, looking in with my eyes. I had to turn around to look back at my leg or my foot to know for certain whether they were “doing it right”. After years of daily practice under the gaze of my teachers, and many more years of daily self-practice, my perspective has shifted. I can describe it as my legs and my feet having eyes now too, and that following my breath while moving has gradually opened more eyes.
In my classes, I share the methods that have helped me to embody myself. The Feldenkrais method takes you deeply into the sensations of your body to find and refine your internal body maps. The Ashtanga method offers an opportunity, to demonstrate for yourself through daily practice, that you truly do not know your own capacity. I am forever grateful to my teachers: Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Rangaswamy Jois, Chris Buhner, Eddie Stern, Mary Flinn, Marcia Margolin and Magnolia Zuniga.

NATALIE HANSEN
Natalie is a spirited and passionate visionary! Yoga found her in 2001 just after completing her Bachelors degree in Neurobiology and Physiology from UC Davis. Yoga was a coming home like she had never experienced, satiating her scientific mind and awakening in her the power and potential of the subtler aspects of the Self and of Life. She has traveled and studied with various teachers across the U.S. and internationally, including the late Sri K Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. Certified in 2003, Natalie continues to study under the tutelage of her primary teacher, Bhavani Maki in Kauai, Hawaii. A forever student, Natalie graduated in 2015 from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California
as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Her ever deepening professional commitment to the evolution of the nervous system and human health and healing
in its most wholistic form, joyfully informs her yoga teaching. Natalie's challenging yet compassionate classes combine fun and playful vinyasa sequences with more
refined and exacting explorations into the depths of body and being that faithfully reflect her passion for life and commitment to transformation.

With almost 20 years of yoga experience, I have a passion for yoga, mindfulness, and creative expression.I started practicing yoga in 1999 and was inspired to become a teacher in 2010. Since completing my 200-Hour Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training in 2010, I have continued to expand my knowledge in Kids Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Mindfulness and Meditation, and Sound Healing. In 2011, I traveled to India and participated in a two-week yoga and meditation retreat, visited holy temples, practiced yoga and meditation daily, and attended Yantra painting workshops. I am grateful to be teaching mind-body wellness programs with adults and youth of all ages. My motto in life follows Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you wish to see in the world”, and I am actively influencing positive change in the San Francisco Bay Area every day.

AMY LIN
My path with yoga has delighted and informed me with each twist, turn, hill & valley. I first discovered yoga in 1984 when I took an extra-curricular class at Indiana University. As a collegiate soccer player, I was looking for something to help me stretch my muscles and be physically flexible. Later as a graduate student in psychology at Sonoma State, I again explored yoga as an avenue to study the mind. It wasn’t until 2002 when I found my teacher, Nancy Schalk and completed her YA200 Teacher Training that I experienced the true and infinitely deep Heart of Yoga. I have been teaching (as well as learning) since.
In 2011, I founded Flourish Yoga + Wellbeing in Indiana as well as an accredited Yoga Alliance 200-hour Teacher Training School. I sold the studio and moved myself and Great Pyrenees, Padma, to Kauai, Hawaii in 2015. There I taught at the lovely Metamorphose Yoga studio for 3 years. During that time, I had a near death experience and my healing came through loving community, yoga asana, mudras, and meditation. Each experience, and beings that I intersect with on this life path are my teachers.
In my classes, you will hear me remind you that your greatest teacher is within and to follow the compass of your heart. My intention is to be of service by empowering others to believe in possibility and choose to live a vibrant, flourishing life however you uniquely create it. It is with humility, gratitude, and excitement that I am teaching in the beautiful Enso yoga community.
Namaste and Aloha ~ Amy Lin Thomas

JESSICA BOWLBY
Sharing the healing power of yoga has been my passion for the last 6 years of my life. I started my relationship with yoga at seventeen while recovering from knee injuries. I fell in love with its intelligence and was inspired to share its benefits. In 2015 my practice expanded as I was given opportunities to teach in my hometown of Redding, Ca. It was there my learning solidified as I watched how the yoga healed the body, mind and soul of those I taught. Yoga became the doorway to healing and a safe, empowering space away from the challenges that awaited them outside class. And that is the magic, that feeling we are left with after class.
Recently, I have been focusing more on tradition through Ashtanga yoga, working on the primary series and delving into the philosophy of yoga. What I can offer is a comfortable, safe space for you to practice and experience that magic that Yoga offers us in promoting a healthy, joyful life in love and gratitude.
