Yoga has been an integral part of her life for over 20 years.

No matter her challenges, Yoga has always helped her find her way back to peace and well-being. She lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her dogs Gilly and Maggie-May, who sometimes join her for yoga.

Class Description:
Y12SR is a holistic model to address the physical, mental, and spiritual disease of addiction. Informed by the latest research in neuroscience and trauma healing, Y12SR “connects the dots” by combining the somatic approach of yoga with the cognitive approach of 12-step recovery programs. Y12SR recognizes that "the issues live in the tissues" and as such, supplements yoga and its practices as an integral part of a holistic recovery program.
Y12SR includes a group sharing circle preceded or followed by an intentional, themed, trauma-informed yoga practice. Y12SR classes are for anyone dealing with their own addictive behaviors or affected by those behaviors in others. It will deepen any work that participants may be currently doing or jump start the journey of self-discovery.

Class Description:
Experience a balanced 60-minute yoga flow that caters to all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners where I hold space for each student to embark on their own unique inner journey. As you move through postures you will find a deeper connection to yourself. My class offers a blend of gentle stretching, mindful movement, and foundational postures. Modifications and variations will be provided, allowing you to practice at your own pace.

Teacher Bio:
Yoga has been a profound part of my life ever since I first discovered the practice in high school. During a difficult time in my life, yoga became a safe space where I could find solace, reconnect with my body, and cultivate inner strength. The positive impact I experienced from yoga inspired me to deepen my practice. In 2022, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, where I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the spiritual and philosophical roots of yoga. This experience expanded my personal practice and laid the foundation for my teaching. Driven by a desire to continue learning how to share yoga with others, I completed an additional 200-hour yoga teacher training in Los Angeles, California. This program focused on the art of sequencing dynamic, safe flows that challenge the body while calming the mind. I'm now excited to guide students through invigorating vinyasa classes that blend breath, movement, and mindfulness. Yoga has become deeply woven into the fabric of my life, and I hold this practice near and dear to my heart. As a teacher, my greatest aim is to create a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space where students of all backgrounds and abilities can explore the transformative power of yoga. My classes are designed to help students feel more grounded and connected by the time they roll up their mats. Whether you are brand new to yoga or have an established practice, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Teacher Bio: Ven. Ekachai Punya
My highest degree is MBA in International Business from Webster University, USA. I have been a Buddhist monk and meditation teacher for more than 20 yrs, teaching in
many countries. The most important knowledge I have learned and practiced is Dhammakaya meditation.

Class Description:
Itinerary: Introduction, Short wisdom talk, Meditation, Q&A with the teacher.
What: It is about success, happiness, and prosperity. Many people who practice
meditation want to find peace or find a way to answer some in-depth questions they
have in their minds. Our meditation can lead you to find peace and further your meditation advancement. Because some, like our masters, have achieved extraordinary meditation results, so can you! They have been sharing the knowledge with their love and kindness to all of us. You may learn directly from the recorded teachings of my four masters; however, they all taught in Thai, and unfortunately, three have passed away. You will need me, an excellent Thai and able English speaker, for good results. Moreover, finding a native English speaker who clearly understands Thai meditation at a profound level would not be easy.
Why: The method has been lost for over 2,000 years and was recently rediscovered
about a hundred years ago by one of my masters. Once I realized how this meditation practice can lead to excellent results, I am happy to practice it for my own benefit. Everyone has a limited lifetime, so we will try to share this knowledge while practicing
for ourselves. Hopefully, you will see its value and will invite others to learn!
How: It is a beautiful practice. It is neither difficult nor easy to get good results. My masters recommended everyone to practice meditation properly as an innocent child. I hope you are successful, happy, and prosperous.

Class Description:
Emotions are energy in motion and are the drivers of our health. Since how we feel influences the chemicals in our body, affecting our immune system, our heart, and overall health, the secret is to channel those emotions. Instead of repressing or acting out on them, you want to take that energy and use it towards creative self-expression. One of the best outlets to channel your emotions is through writing/journaling, and some of the benefits include reducing stress, improving mental health, memory, and focus. Through various writing prompts, it allows you to connect within to your inner wisdom, where you can gain insight by communicating with your soul's voice. Writing also helps to develop language, where you can label your feelings/emotions, an effective way to understand complex emotions. There are numerous benefits when it comes to writing and this class is for all adult ages no matter where you are on your journey. The path towards oneself is never ending and for those who are willing to dive deep, the process can be most rewarding. At the start of each class, we will begin with deep breathing, grounding exercises, and mindfulness, followed by 10 minutes of free writing. Free writing clears the mind of emotions and cutter and is a process of writing nonstop without editing or stopping to think, judge, or evaluate, so that it doesn’t result in a repression of thoughts and emotions you may find unacceptable. It also can help explore emotional issues on a deeper level, and as a form of practicing non judgement, you can learn to accept yourself as you are. A main topic will be explored each week and Ill give writing prompts for you to dig deeper and unravel what your feelings, thoughts, and ideas may be. For those who really tap into their self-expression, there is a path that leads towards accessing your inner wisdom where you can uncover your truth, providing the guidance needed upon your journey. Towards the end of class I welcome and encourage any questions, comments, and thoughts regarding personal experience. Many times, it’s through our sharing of experience where great insight can be found. I then come to a closing by weaving any new perspectives, fresh insights, and personal truths by incorporating each of your learnings into meditation, so a deeper, more meaningful experience can occur. When we make meaningful connections and embed them into practices such as meditation, it brings us closer to our true selves in profound ways.

Jennifer’s Bio:
Though the world of writing was introduced as a positive experience through winning writing contest and scholarships, it wasn’t until much later in life that I began to use writing as a tool to manage my emotions and further my self-development. For me, writing is an amazing tool that has helped me through trauma, uncovered my true desires, and is what seems to bring me a sense of peace. I recommend writing for everyone, but especially if you relate to being highly sensitive and/or emotionally intense. My background includes majoring in English at the college of Southern Idaho for two years and I also attended a 13-month alternative healing program where I had a class in journaling and was taught how to incorporate various writing exercises. Currently, I am building my own practice where I utilized the expressive arts to help others manage emotions and maintain their energy, and I’m also nearing the end of a one-year Mind/Body Psychology program where I was taught mindfulness. It is through my own personal spiritual journey that I understand the importance of meditation and how to conduct the practice properly. Meditation induces a mode of consciousness where eventually reaching a higher level of awareness is achieved. I am particularly careful when leading, never to bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind.
