Who We Are
 

Vanessa Estes

Instructor

Vanessa has been sharing the love of Yoga with her community as a 200 hour RYT since 2014. From yin to Vinyasa, she’s loved bringing positive energy into the sacred place where her community practices. In 2016, Vanessa was introduced to an evolutionary practice of Buti Yoga and became certified months later. She’s embraced this fusion of tribal dance, plyometrics, spiral structure technique and yoga asanas as a true soulmate workout that brings liberation, strength, humility, and peace from the work put in on the mat. 

Vanessa continues to provide healing off the mat as a licensed mental health counselor. She believes that a healthy body cannot exist without a healthy mind, and a healthy mind needs exercise and relaxation, too! She hopes to cultivate a space for everyone to love and accept themselves on and off the mat.

Serena Tomaso

Instructor

Serena is a 200 HR RYT and meditation teacher based out of Renton, Washington. She inspires others to find their unique practice, while living life with a loving awareness. Let go of comparison, seek kindness and connection. You will see her leading a challenging Power Vinyasa with lots of core work, or bringing out the pillows for Yoga Nidra, to heal from the inside out. She teaches private classes and group workshops on how to use the Yoga Wheel, learn arm balances, and inversions.  Come as you are, learn at your own pace, and celebrate your strength.

Eunice Nam

Instructor

A native of Washington and graduate of the University of Washington, Eunice thought her career path would stay in Graphic Design working at a desk behind a computer. Car accidents, back pain, weight gain and health issues made Eunice realize she had to make some major changes in her life.  Eunice knew hot yoga would stay with her for the rest of her life after one class. She signed up for Hot Hatha Teacher Training within the first month of her first class in 2009. She’s never found other workouts that gave her the mind and body connection she has found with yoga. She was hooked from the very first class she took and has not looked back once. She has been practicing yoga for over 12 years and have been teaching almost as long. She teaches Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Wall Yoga. Eunice also offers RYT200 Hatha and Power Teacher Trainings through her company, Saucy Yoga, in compliance with Yoga Alliance. She has also recently completed her RYT500 credits and is also a continuing education teacher through YA.  Eunice has dedicated herself to the next step of continually giving back to her yoga students and community through leading classes, trainings and retreats. Yoga is her lifelong study and practice.

Amy Jarju

Instructor

Originally from Canada, Amy lived in Washington for 17 years now. She has four amazing kids and work as a Dental Assistant. 

She was always very active and her daily routine exercise was weight lifting since 13 years old. Within the last few years, she has really found amazing results in diversifying her exercise routine. In 2018, her friend introduced me to Buti Yoga and not really having done much yoga before, she fell in love with it. In November of 2019, she decided to get Certified as a Buti Yoga Instructor. She asked herself, "why not teach what you love and feed that passion?!" So as she dives into teaching Buti Yoga, Hot Buti Yoga, Hot Core, and Pilates she looks forward to taking her 200 HR YTT.
