SPECIAL EVENTS

"I have taken yoga at various times in my life but it was not until Rainey's class that I found it to be hugely beneficial. The specific benefits that she brings are her humor and compassion, her ability to devote attention to every member of the class, and her obvious love for life and the beauty of yoga. Her approach is so lovely and supportive that I find myself able to practice without anxiety about my physical limitations or fear of injury.

I
t would not be an exaggeration to say that her class has completely changed my life. I am able to connect with others in a more compassionate, open-minded way. The stress that is an inherent part of my job is now completely manageable. On the physical side, I am stronger and more flexible than I have ever been and my famously bad posture is much improved. Poses such as handstand that once seemed completely out of reach are available and wonderfully empowering."

Building the Temple:

Exploring the Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara Yoga

Saturday, March 10,     1-4pm

Yoga Source Studio

University Place, Tacoma, WA

$40 in advance, $45 day of

 

A temple is a structure that is erected for the purpose of honoring and experiencing the Sacred. The grandeur of cathedrals and mosques invite a feeling of awe and infinity. Our bodies can hold the same possibility of Divine reverence and space when aligned and dedicated to the highest through the practice of yoga. In this workshop we will explore the Universal Principles of Alignment of Anusara Yoga. These principles give us a way of creating a stable and reliable structure through which we can find freedom and grace of breath and movement. They create integrity in the body allowing us to practice safely and they invite us to move from the inside, giving depth and meaning to our practice. The Universal Principles of Alignment serve to deepen any practice. All levels welcome.
