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 Led Primary w/Shannon – Sundays, Noon – 1:30 pm

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.

Sundays, noon – 1:30 pm

Regular class rates apply.

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.

Thursdays from 7:30 – 8:30 pm

Learn About Our Heat……FAR Infrared

solarlThe unique and natural heat that is only offered at Radiant Yoga actually is radiant. When exposed to the healing powers of FAR Infrared Heat as opposed to standard forced air used at other studios, your body is being warmed directly instead of being surrounded by artificially warmed air. This heat therapy works against creating dust and debris that can aggravate the common health problems of forced air. When your body undergoes exposure to FIR heat in our Radiant Yoga studio, the heat will penetrate within your body as far as 3 inches deep. This penetration results in increased blood circulation and the breakdown of toxin-filled large water molecules urging your body to rid itself of toxins and waste through perspiration and through the healing practice of yoga.
