Instructors
Barbara P. Ward, Director
Licensed Psychotherapist
Registered Kripalu Yoga Teacher
Certified Partner/Couples Yoga Teacher
Barbara has been practicing and teaching Yoga for over 36 years. She sees
herself as a facilitator who encourages others to do their own Yoga
practice. Her focus is helping others to breathe freely, to relax
completely, and to allow the body to express itself from the inside out.
Most recently Barbara is working with couples in therapy using Yoga as a
healing tool.
Kim Saunders
Registered Kripalu Yoga Teacher
Kim received her certification in the Spring of 2001. She has studied with
Martha Abbott and Yogananda Michael Carroll. She enjoys working with people of all ages,
sharing new ways of integrating Yoga into everyday life. She believes that yoga should be about practicing compassion, towards ourselves, as well as others. She holds an associate’s degree in education and art. Over the last 25 years she has
taught children and adults everything from art to yoga.
Eileen Paris
Eileen became interested in yoga several years ago to enhance her physical
well-being and flexibility, and began daily practice in 2001 (in honor of
her 50th birthday). Little did she know that yoga would enhance every
aspect of her life, from her marriage, to her interactions with friends
and family, to her work, and of course her relationship with herself. In
2007 she became a Yoga Alliance certified yoga instructor, accredited in
Hatha Yoga, with the goal of sharing the benefits of yoga with others.
Eileen integrates Hatha, Kripalu, and Kundalini yoga traditions in her
approach to both practicing and teaching yoga classes. She believes breath
awareness can help us stay present and deal with just about anything.

Ann Archambault
My name is Annie Archambault, and my spiritual name is Ananda Kaur.
I started taking Kundalini Yoga classes about 12 years ago. I noticed a
definite improvement in my mood and physical well being after each class,
and began seeking out more and more Kundalini classes and events, which
led to my signing up for Level 1 teacher training in 2002. The breath
work, kriyas (exercise sets), and meditation that are all part of this ancient
yoga form helped me through some difficult and challenging life changes.
My goal is to share the teachings of Kundalini yoga technology, as taught by
Yogi Bhajan, and to elevate others through those teachings. Many people
can find healing and peace through this practice.
Brooke Stanton
Brooke fuses her background in theatre and
her love of nature with Kripalu yoga to create a distinctly different
style of yoga. Each of her classes explore a theme through poetry and
movement that is connected to current events. Her
focus is both on physical alignment in poses and gaining a deeper
understanding of ourselves and the world around us through the practice of yoga. These
uniquely designed classes allow students of all capabilities to relax, laugh, and enjoy a good stretch so that you feel better
mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Jacqueline Callahan
Jacki
grew up being actively involved in gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, track
and field, and snow sports. She has been certified as a personal trainer
with ACE since 2006 and became involved in yoga to try something new and
to address lower back pain. Jacki really enjoyed the way yoga helped to
reduce her back pain while lowering her level of stress. She decided to
become a yoga instructor and began taking classes towards
certification. Jacki has completed YogaFit Level 1, 2, 3, pre-natal and
post-natal trainings. She specializes in pelvic floor yoga therapy, a
therapeutic form of yoga that helps to balance, stabilize, strengthen, and
stretch the muscles of the pelvic floor while simultaneously releasing
tension in major muscle groups. Her traditional classes are Vinyasa
style and she plans to incorporate some pelvic floor yoga therapy into
these classes to provide students with a new approach to care for the
pelvic floor. Jacki focuses on teaching students to breathe, accept and
love themselves and their bodies, think positively and let go of
judgments and competition.
