Transformational Yoga Opportunities
A powerful and empowering opportunity for deep transformation! Eclectic Hatha yoga incorporating flowing components of Vinyasa yoga, the natural grace of Anusara, the compassionate healing power of LifeForce Yoga, a sprinkling of Qi Gong, sustained alignments of Iyengar yoga, and your body’s innate wisdom and desire for wholeness. Yoga meets you where you are, then transports you to freedom of mind and body, enhancing every aspect of your life! I love teaching yoga!
In addition to teaching privately, my current public yoga offerings are in the Mind – Body Program at Lifetime Fitness at 13725 RR 620. In their beautiful, sequestered LifeStudio, I teach:
- Wednesday 6:00 – 7:30p.m. Sumptuous Restorative Yoga
- Thursday evenings: 6:00 – 7:15 Transformational Yoga
- Friday mornings 8:45 – 10:00
- Transformational Yoga Saturday mornings 10:00 – 11:00
They are very supportive of developing this Program, as well as offering supplementary opportunities for education, personal growth, and well-being. Our talented array of teachers supplements the schedule with a variety of educational and interesting workshops to propel your practice and understanding to a deeper level. To complement the motivation of LifeTime members, I have designed “Yoga for Athletes”, a comprehensive Mind-Body-Spirit Yoga Experience with the special needs of the Athlete in mind. You can find out more information here.
In the not too distant future, I envision a workshop combining Transformational Yoga with acupuncture - !! 90 minutes of TY followed by an extended 30 minute savasana that includes acupuncture. How yummy would that be!! This would be a small workshop, 6-8 people, with Stress Reduction as the Theme du Jour. Each participant would interface with the Acupuncturist prior to the day of the workshop to promote ease and comfort during the workshop. Please let me know if you are already on board with this, so that I may give you the courtesy of advance notice to insure a spot on that day. I can hardly wait!
I am thrilled to share that Kalinka, a Grammy-nominated Russian duo, have agreed to play their melodious music during a future yoga class! Sergey is known as the “Jimi Hendrix of the Balalaika”, while Vladimir skillfully and passionately plays the Accordion, together creating expressive, gorgeous traditional music. This will be so much fun! Watch for the announcement here, in an email, or in local papers and media. Find out more information here.

Flexible Scheduling to fit Your Lifestyle
when you have nothing else you must think about,
will define the direction of your life. No matter
what is happening in the world outside of you,
you have the power to choose your own thoughts.
And the thoughts you choose can have an enormous impact.
When all is quiet, when the necessities of the day
have been tended to, when your mind is free of nay constraints,
what kinds of things do you think about?
The thoughts you have at such times, the thoughts you choose to think,
are the thoughts that will show you who you truly are.
Steer those thoughts away from anger, limitation, worry and envy.
Direct your mind toward thoughts of love, possibility,
confidence, abundance, and generosity. Choose to let your mind
live in an empowering, life-affirming, rich, and creative place.
Choosing the life you want begins with choosing the
thoughts that will direct you to it. Those thoughts are
yours to choose this and every moment.
-Ralph Marston
Be patient with all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to
love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a foreign language. Don’t search for
the answers, which could not be given to you now, because
you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to
live everything. Live the questions now. And perhaps then,
someday in the future, you will gradually, without even
noticing it, live your way into the answer.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
One sees clearly only with the Heart.
Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.
-the Fox in The Little Prince
Who would you be without that thought?
What vibration is your Mind sending your Body?
Play like you want to improve.
-William H. Davis
Beloved Child,
Break your Heart no longer,
Every time you judge Yourself,
You break your own Heart.
-Swami Kripalu
It’s difficult for people to get rid of junk.
They get attached to things and let them define who they are.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this business,
it’s that you are what you can’t let go of.
-Brian Scudamore, 1-800-got-junk
This is a Teacher’s Prayer. Imagine as you read it,
your Body is lovingly offering this to you:
To face its struggles and its strife and improve our worth
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow
But how to choose the proper path wherever we may go.
To understand Eternal Truth and know the right from wrong
And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace
Then I shall feel that we are One and I have filled my place.
And so I ask your guidance that I may do my part
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.
Ask not what your Body can do for you, but what you can do for your Body.
Have you ever thought about freedom, Willard?
Freedom from the opinions of others, especially yourself.
-Brando’s Kurtz to Sheen’s Willard in Apocalypse Now
The soul, since it is born for eternity,
finds never truly peace in worldly goods and gains.
Since it is born for eternity.
Thus it’s astonishing, you love this passing show,
And put your faith in frail mortality.
-Hugo Distler
Understand that happiness is a talent, one that
immunizes you against being bored. As a character
says in a Saul Bellow novel, “Boredom is the shriek of unused capacities.”
-George Will
What you are the world is. And without your transformation
there can be no transformation of the world.
-Krishnamurti
… the Universe is very supportive of your Transformation …
-Anne Marie
