EXTENDING THE POSE - From the mat, to your world
This class is taught by:
Valerie Klass
Valarie Klass, 200 CYT in Hatha Yoga from Sundari Yoga, was introduced to yoga in 2008 through her Tang So Do Instructor, which awakened the idea of a kinder, gentler way of life and so she made the necessary changes to pursue her new path. She is filled with happiness and light now that she has found her passion in life. Yoga has gifted her the balance she has always searched for in her very busy life and career, as well as the many more rewards that come with the practice and building a strong connection with oneself. Valarie's approach brings focus to the Bhandas and engagement; inviting students to connect, direct and utilize the energy locks within the body and experience the power and essence each pose has to offer. Students can expect to feel clearer and higher states of consciousness.
Valarie is honored to teach and bring together community through yoga; developing new friendships through the amazing people she meets. Valarie plans to teach yoga part time in her retirement and spread love and joy to all who welcome it into their lives. She is currently working as a Regional Manager in Health Care and is registered in both Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound.
When our bodies move into a pose, how can we allow that pose to move us deeper into our bodies? When does a collective pose become our own pose, a personal expression? Where in our practice do we bring our personality, our nature, our fear and joy? How does that translate into our daily lives and how do our daily lives become our practice? This class invites students to awaken into deeper, individual expressions of poses by becoming acutely aware of sensation, emotion and sometimes unknown territory. The aim is for students to begin to discover, for themselves, how to take their practice beyond that mat and into the threads of everyday life.
"Create your world. Poses never end inside the yoga studio.” –Valerie Klass
