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

Learning to speak only positively to her image and to really love herself inside and out, Lakyn knew that was something she wanted to help others feel. She studied at Bikram Yoga College of India, Los Angeles, and in 2013, she received her 500hr hot yoga certification. She also has completed a Yin yoga certification and is a 200hr Vinyasa RYT.

Lisa Rose

Instructor; 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher

Hello there every BODY! My passion for yoga began when I struggled to move on from the awkward big pawed puppy phase, lol. I wanted to learn how to move through the world with grace and ease and while I am still learning about grace, my yoga journey has gone down many paths to deepen my ease in my practice. In 2017 I finally found a practice that spoke to my mind and body through the 8 limbs path and in 2018 I was certified to share my passion and practice with others.

My classes are open dynamic forums that balance focused energy with a fun journey.  Laughter, giggles, and questions are always welcome!

So whether you are a seasoned yogi or yoga curious there is space for you in my class! So come get your OM on!

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!
