Raina Greening

Good Karma Owner, Instructor & Yogi Practicing yoga for 7 years.

200 RYT through Yoga Alliance

Always active and athletic she was looking for something to break up the gym routine when she found yoga & immediately fell in love! She loved that it was different every time, as your body feels different all the time.

Raina is a former St. Johns County art teacher who saw the need for a studio in the area. She began by teaching donation classes locally and would put out a “Good Karma” jar for donations and that manifested the Good Karma Yoga Studio today.

Raina brings her creativity and humor to the class and aims to make all her students feel welcome. Her goal is all about destressing whether it be in a slow flow class or a heated vinyasa it’s all about making that mind and body connection.  

Outside of the studio, her other passion is travel, a love for learning about other cultures and destinations helps inspire her in all areas of life.

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
- Patanjali

Amanda Moffatt

Instructor; Practicing for 12 years.

Greetings and salutations!
My name is Amanda Moffatt and I am so happy to be a new member of the Good Karma community!

First and foremost…I am a recent first-time mom (she's already 3 months old! ). Up until that time I spent my days practicing yoga, running, cooking, drinking wine, traveling, going to see live music (maybe one day right?), and beaching it with friends.

After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill....a while ago, I began a career in personal training. I've always enjoyed helping people feel better inside and out. Upon turning 30 years old I took a yoga class that changed my body, my mind, and my life...and never looked back! I've been a dedicated yoga practitioner for 12 years. My partner and I moved to Saint Augustine over 3 years ago from NC and fell in love with the vibe of this unique town. I became a certified Yin instructor in 2018. The opportunity this yoga gives you to create space in your body and your mind is literally a breath of fresh air. But honestly, all styles of yoga have something to teach me.

I look forward to you joining me on my journey to stay inspired in being healthy in all ways. Please meet me on your mat for a mindful practice that teaches you to pay attention to your intentions.

Namaste!
