About the Workshop:
Did you know that once upon a time, Yoga gurus made their pupils meditate on Himalayan mountainsides until the intensity of their concentration melted the snow around them? Well, we may not manage that in this workshop, but we WILL banish the cold with a dynamic asana practice to harness the power of heart-opening. We'll explore and experience the Yogic concept of tapas -- sustained burning to achieve transformation -- through our radiantly vibrating bodies, as we work first to loosen our cold- and coat-hardened limbs, then inward toward the center, to free our hearts from the cages of collapsed winter chests. You may just walk out ready to melt the snow! This workshop is open to all, although some previous knowledge of basic yoga asanas will be helpful.
About the Instructor:
Anna began practicing Yoga as a teenager in a black-lit bedroom, and studying formally at the Iyengar Yoga Center of Marseille, France in 2004. She trained as a Yoga teacher in 2012-13 at YogaWorks in New York City, where she taught Yoga to adults and high school students before moving to Kalamazoo in 2014. Since then she has been pursuing the rigorous but rewarding path toward certification in the Iyengar method, under the mentorship of CIYTs Mary Reilly and Jennifer Beaumont. She is passionate about sharing the grace and precision of Yoga master BKS Iyengar's teachings with her students, and witnessing their transformation.

"How can you know God if you don't know your big toe?" -- BKS Iyengar
