Spirit Fire is a perfect match for those who relate to the land and its spirits; to nature and her beauty. Night skies reveal magnificent stars and constellations.The Fire Circe creates powerful bonds and magical moments.

About Amy Sinclair:
On somewhat of a whim, before ever having stepped foot in a yoga studio, Amy enrolled in Yoga Teacher Training in January, 2013. Soon after graduation in summer 2013, Amy began teaching yoga, and hasn't stopped since. In March 2014, Amy completed her 100-Hour Barre & Soul Teacher Training (also on a whim) with Barre & Soul founder, Andrea Isabelle Lucas. In November 2014, Amy quit her full time job as a food scientist to teach yoga and barre full time. Since then, Amy has taught thousands of yoga and barre classes. She now serves as a leader of Barre Teacher training at Barre & Soul, and a mentor for new barre and yoga teachers. She enjoys planning yoga retreats, workshops, and events. Amy has led retreats to Western Mass, St. Croix, Costa Rica, and more.
Amy's teaching style is light-hearted and playful, but also challenging. Amy's yoga classes are intelligently sequenced with care. Amy hopes to bring the joy and inspiration she found through a regular yoga and barre practice to as many people as possible. Her students describe her as authentic, honest, funny, and compassionate.
In 2016, Amy began pursuing her life long dream of becoming a firefighter. After passing the ELPAT (entry level physical abilities test) and written exam for Massachusetts Firefighters, she is now on the eligibility list waiting to be hired (which could take years, or not happen at all!) She completed her EMT training in March 2017, and started working for Action Ambulance as a per diem EMT in September 2017. In November of 2017, Amy started working as a Health & Wellness coach for Breast Cancer Patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, on the Breast Cancer Weight Loss Study (BWEL). Amy's career has spanned the spectrum of wellness with her work as an EMT, Yoga teacher, and health coach.
About Stacey Apple:
Stacey began her yoga journey 15 years ago when her mother handed her a yoga mat on her 15th birthday. She still has the mat and the inspiration from her mother that keeps yoga at the core of her life. Yoga has been a steady practice that she has used to stay strong and focused through her ever changing life. Yoga continues to be the backbone and support for her daily life. She hopes that through her teaching she can spread her strength and light to those around her. In 2016 Stacey completed the 200hr yoga teacher training at Empower Yoga under the guidance of Tricia Philpott. She continues to teach and work with the amazing community at Cape Ann Power Yoga in Gloucester.
Beyond spreading her love for yoga Stacey is the sous chef at Short and Main in Gloucester, MA. She spends most of her time baking cakes, making pizzas, and picking delicious fruit. Her passion for cooking and working with farmers to create beautiful and locally sourced food is what keeps her smiling. Her drive to live a sustainable life that is truly in tune to seasonality and nature makes her the yogi she is. Namaste!
