Posted by | Jan 8, 2012 | , , , |

Rod Stryker, the founder of ParaYoga and one of the most respected Yoga teachers in the country is coming to Annapolis, Maryland: February 29th – March 4th. I didn’t feel I knew enough about Para Yoga to do this post justice, so I asked Lynn Matthews, one of my teachers, student of Rod’s and host of this workshop to do a ‘guest post’ about the event.  She started with a quote…. “There is a pristine place in each of us that is of the same stuff that lights the most distant star. Recognize it and discover a power and insight that will guide you to flourish in every area of your life.” –– Rod Stryker What is ParaYoga? ParaYoga is one of the country’s fastest growing most respected styles of Yoga today.

$50 Special for Unlimited Yoga at Golden Heart Annapolis

Posted by | Jan 3, 2012 | , , , |

Golden Heart Yoga in Annapolis is running a January Special – $50 for Unlimited Yoga Classes.   This is a great deal considering that their normal unlimited pass costs $185 (they also offer drop-ins, class cards and single class registrations) and that they have 25 Yoga classes a week, morning noon and night with some of the best instructors in the area. Although, I take classes at most of the Annapolis area studios, I usually end up taking at least two classes a week at Golden Heart.  If you decide to get the pass and aren’t sure where to start, here are a few of the teachers and classes I know first hand… Renee (teaches Tuesday nights) – One of my favorite classes – it’s a Yoga I class but very well suited for beginner or intermediate level students. She typically has a smaller class size and is an amazing instructor. Renee makes it fun to improve  poses that I’ve been doing for years by working with each student individually to improve form.  If you usually do more active flow or vinyasa classes, it could be a nice complement since improving each specific pose makes these classes a easier and can prevent injuries. Another reason I like this class – not sure how she does it, but I always seem to get my best night’s sleep after this class. Joan...
