Kundalini w/Hannah Zachney 10/3

Love without trust is impossible. If you break promises to yourself you will destroy your own trust. You must trust yourself before you can fully love anyone else.
Kundalini Yoga has taught me to trust my instincts, intuition and encouraged me to accept and know myself in a way that was previously unknown to me. Kundalini yoga offers endless tools to enhance this process. It will strengthen the heart chakra. It will build courage and resilience. It will wake you up. It has been said that a student cannot remain the same when they practice Kundalini Yoga. It will awaken the energy of consciousness, shed light on our self-imposed limitations and invites us to trust our intuitive mind. Kundalini will create dramatic, lasting changes in your life very quickly.
You will:
  • Learn the history, purpose, benefits and origins of Kundalini Yoga
  • Experience a kriya (a specific set of exercises with particular breath work in a particular order to achieve a specific outcome)
  • Experience a Kundalini meditation
  • Understand the power & grace of this practice

Catrina Lessley – SoundBath Facilitator
Catrina’s lifelong love of music and body movement catapulted her to became a vibrational sound therapy certified practitioner in 2019, she found her passion & immediately began conducting sound baths and sound therapy sessions. She creates soundscapes to help facilitate meditation, relaxation and ultimately healing. Drawn to yoga in the late 90’s after being injured in an auto accident, Catrina discovered the healing power of yoga. The physical, emotional and mental transformation brought about by a regular yoga practice inspired her to become certified as an instructor in 2001. She has a long history of body movement experience which includes 12 years of ballet (four of which include dancing for the Apprentice Company for the Sacramento Ballet) three years of Tae Kwon Do, two years of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. All of these influences contribute to her well rounded teaching style that focuses on proper alignment and breathing techniques. She has been fortunate enough to travel globally to India, Nepal, Thailand and Costa Rica to teach and study yoga respectively. She realizes that continuing to learn and study everyday helps strengthen her teaching skills. Keeping in mind that we are all students in this journey called “life”. She is the owner/founder of GreenEyed Herbals a business committed to handcrafting all natural, preservative & toxin free products for your body and soul. Using organically grown herbs that she cultivates on her land or ethically harvests in the wild locally. When she isn’t practicing sound or yoga she can be found in her organic garden, hiking, paddle boarding or snowshoeing with her beloved dog on the 40 acres she calls home in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Northern California.

Ashtanga w/Shannon – Sunday, 10/24

Ashtanga Yoga is divided into six distinct series. In this, the Primary Series, we explore the grounding postures which will begin to purify the body, strengthen the core, dramatically increase mobility in the hips and knees, and open the shoulders and hamstrings. We will also learn how to breathe efficiently to generate internal heat and bring calm to our minds.

The Primary Series is framed by the familiar Sun Salutations, standing postures and twists, and a calming, restorative closing sequence. Hands-on assistance, adjustments and modifications are an integral part of Ashtanga, and no previous experience is required. Recommended for all students with a regular Power Vinyasa practice.

4th Sunday of every month from  noon – 1:30 pm

Deeply Rooted – A Holy Yoga Practice, Thursdays 7:30-8:30 pm

Deeply Rooted Holy Yoga is for everyone. Come meditate, breathe, worship and move through an abundantly grace-filled class.

Holy Yoga creates an environment to connect more intimately with God through a beautiful practice of breath and movement to contemporary and Christian music. There is often a misunderstanding that yoga is a religion, it is not. Yoga is a spiritual discipline, much like prayer, fasting and meditation. Yoga has the capacity to enhance our personal beliefs and faith.
