Mondays
mysore YOGA with Rachel Wood
8:30am - 9:30am
Mysore is a style of yoga that allows everyone to move at their own time and follow their own rhythm. You do not need to have any yoga experience at all. Complete and total beginners are taught individually, and learn the yoga sequence slowly over time. In fact, your first class may only be 30 minutes. In addition, you may come at any point and time within the hour and a half framework.
Rachel Wood has taught Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga since 2009 when she was living abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. She completed her 200-hr RYT certification with Paul Dallaghan at Centered Yoga/Samahita Retreat in Thailand back in 2012. Since then, she has continued her pranayama studies under his tutelage and that of his teacher, Sri O.P. Tiwari, completing her 500-hr teacher training in 2015.
From Rachel: “I consider Ty Landrum my main teacher for everything related to asana, anatomy and philosophy, and turn to Paul Dallaghan for pranayama studies. I’ve been privileged to study with Tim Feldmann, Matthew Sweeney, David Swenson, Eddie Stern, David Robson and Jelena Vesić. My own teaching is a combination of encouragement, compassion, and even the occasional joke.”

Have you wanted to learn yoga but didn’t know where or how to begin?
You feel inflexible or weak and feel nervous about joining a class?
Not sure how to manage yoga with an injury? Or with your age?
This 4-week course is for you!
Each Sunday you’ll learn some of the fundamental poses of yoga. You’ll learn elemental breathing and meditation practices that will help you stay calm and centered. You’ll learn that moving with the breath is more important than “keeping up.” What’s more, you could walk away with a 15/30/45-minute sequence you can practice on your own at home.
