Restorative Yoga Monthly Workshop

First Sunday of every month: starting March 2010.

Restorative Yoga is the most nurturing and relaxing type of yoga. All poses are done lying on the floor, supported by blankets, cushions and other props. These techniques restore balance to the autonomic nervous system though deep relaxation. This class is great for people recovering from illness, students, busy professionsal, the elderly, and anyone needing to feel reenergized and supported. All level's and body types welcome.

Price

$12 to drop in/ $10 for students and seniors

Instructor

Ann M. Beattie, RYT 200

Ann discovered yoga at the age of 12 while watching Lilias Folan’s Lilias Yoga and You on television. When Ann moved to Texas in her 20’s, she found her spiritual teacher in Gurubachan Singh Khalsa, with whom she studied Kundalini Yoga for 10 years and taught under his guidance for several years.  Upon moving to Kalamazoo in 2000, she studied with 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 which 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.
