Saraj

Yoga is far beyond the physical postures on the magazine cover.Sandy's classes are designed to take you to a higher consciousness, intertwining the other limbs of Yoga. The discovery of Transcendental Meditation at 11 allowed Sandy to reinforce the ability to 'just be' and lead a peaceful, compassionate life.Hitch hiking to Omega Holistic Institute became her summer weekends and retreating at the Feathered Pipe Ranch pulled Sandy into close and intimate teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, RamDass, BKS Iyengar, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Garmukh Kaur Khalsa. In the late 80's and 90's Sandy continued with extensive studying with Sri Dharma Mittra and Brahman Stapleton.So much soul and health in it all. After all, they all lead to the same place. "My young and old life is the practice of Raja, Karma,and Jnana Yoga for many years before my Hatha teacher trainings. There is a large amount of beauty and wisdom in expanding into so many lineages as I am able to pull many tools out of a 5000 year old toolbox!  Some classes invite an internal focus into the body. Tracking sensations, concentrating on form, and appreciating the breath as it anchors us in the moment. The deep attention the body can harness the mind. As our bodies and minds unite we dwell fully in the present. With presence, an individual sense of spiritual connection can arise spontaneously. Expect a class that comes from my heart. At times there will some challenge, some stillness, some gentleness, some inner soul, some wisdom of yogic philosophy & how it relates to our journey in life. Advanced Yoga is offered by inquiry or invitation. This session meets twice per week with a focus on Dharana and Dhyana with use of the spinal breath, Bandhas, Pranayama. Each session is 75 minutes anchored with Satsang. (once per week in summer months) May you live a peaceful and compassionate life, ~ Saraj Can I answer any questions for you about my sessions?
