Christine owns Earth Yoga in Hillsborough, NC & has been teaching since 2014. Her style has gone from vinyasa flow to a more restful, restorative or hatha based practice. Earth Yoga is a place where any one can come and feel comfortable in their own practice. Christine teaches with a focus on including breath & spiritual practices in her classes.

In this group discussion, you will learn about the 8 Limbs of Yoga. Besides the poses, there are also internal and external ethics, meditation, focus and more! You will receive a handout with an image to fully
understand how the 8 limbs come together — and how yoga is more than just moving the body. You will be able to ask questions with an experienced teacher & journal about your thoughts.

Tatyana Kholodkov (she/her) is a licensed psychologist offering traditional and psychedelic therapy, and
healing from western and eastern traditions. She is a student of Sri Dharma Mittra (DYRT 1000) and offers classes drawn from classical teachings in Hatha-Raja yoga. Her training background includes many years of martial arts and dance, qi-gong, Mind-Body Centering yoga teacher certification, trauma-informed
mindfulness, and the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Certification program. All classes are
explicitly LGBTQIA affirming, sex, and body positive.

The breath is a bridge between the mind, heart, and body. Our prana, or vital energy, rides on the breath. Through consciously connecting and changing our breathing patterns, we can not only alter the state of our physiology and mind, but also promote positive mood states and prepare our heart to be more receptive. We will go through a number of practices and explore how they feel, what they can be used for, and how they can support you on your path. As my teacher Sri Dharma Mittra says, pranayama is Iike an insurance policy for the rest of the day.

Now she loves to share this practice that changed her for the better with others, and to incorporate yoga into all her different types of classes.

While Yoga is all about the poses, Animal Flow is all about the movement between the poses. This class focuses on fun transitions and flowing movements. Animal Flow is a fun and creative ground based Quadrupedal Movement Training that incorporates moves from breakdancing, capoeira, and yoga; when combined with a traditional hatha vinyasa yoga class you get a great workout that increases your strength and shares a new perspective on transitions for traditional yoga classes.
