Yoga Instructor E-RYT 500, Past Life Regressionist/Level 3 Reiki Practitioner
Meet Ginny Colarusso, E-RYT 500, Past Life Regressionist, Reiki Level 3 Practitioner, and former owner of Amp Yoga Studio in Springfield. Ginny was featured on Dr. Oz and was trained by Psychic/Medium Lindsey Sass.

The Akashic Records is a vast library containing each soul’s book of records. The book contains every recorded detail from the first spark of your soul to what brought you into this lifetime today. Connecting with your book and your deep past can assist you in learning your karma, remembering the gifts from the past that you are blessed with, and understanding your purpose here today. When we remember, we are also giving our soul permission to release and let go of repeated patterns and cycles. This workshop will also allow you to connect to a guide, angel, or deceased loved one. All participants will also receive a signed copy of the newly released book, Ancestors featuring Mindahi Bastida and co-authored by Ginny.
Kristen Bond
Yoga Instructor
Kristen brings with her 12 years of yoga teaching experience and a deep passion for the practice. The first time that Kristen attempted yoga she was following a Rodney Yee tape that her mom had given her. She was 16 years old and she had always been a cheerleader and gymnast so the physical aspect of stretching the body appealed to her. It wasn't until 8 years later that she took her first yoga class and began to truly embrace not just the physical practice but the spiritual one as well. Kristen loves taking an "Off the Mat" approach in her practice and in her classes, combining the world of nature with the meditative benefits of yoga. She believes that simply being outside in nature has healing powers. Kristen also holds a strong belief that by setting heartfelt intentions you can manifest your greatest hopes and dreams. All of Kristen's classes reflect her passionate belief that yoga truly has the ability to change the world. Her goal is for her students to not just take yoga classes, but to live a yoga lifestyle filled with peace and love.
