When asked about his studies on emotions and health Dr. Dean Ornish says, “awareness is the first step in healing”. "Stop, look in, and listen..". is the basis of yoga practice. By doing so self awareness expands. Once we have awareness, we can take skillful action to best care for our bodies, minds and relationships. Studies show that yoga can imporve circulation and respiratory function as well as decrease stress. Join Ann Beattie to explore heart health using yoga postures, breathing and relaxation exercises.

Ann M. Beattie, RYT

Ann discovered yoga at the age of 12 while watching Lilias Folan on TV. When Ann moved to Texas in her 20’s, she found her spiritual teacher in Gurubachan Singh Khalsa. She studied Kundalini Yoga for 10 years and taught under his guidance. Upon moving to Kalamazoo in 2000, Ann studied Yoga Fit and began teaching hatha yoga at various gyms and fitness centers. Ann completed her 200 hour RYT training with Karina Ayn Mirsky at Sangha Yoga in 2009. This imbued Ann with new dedication and enthusiasm for her practice and for sharing her knowledge with her students.  She continues to study with Karina Ayn and has participated in workshops by Chandra Easton and Gary Kraftsow. Ann believes that with yoga, there is the potential to experience your true self, and she feels honored to be able to help guide her students as they deepen their own self knowledge.
