Like a sponge she soaked up the information. She enjoyed the company of the amazing community of students and teachers in the program, and knew that she would never again feel alone in this world. The emersion she experienced was grounding on a mental, spiritual, and physical level. She began to see herself open up and radiate from the inside. The creative aspects of yoga, mantra, mudra, chakras, visualization and meditation as well as philosophy influence Cookie’s own practice and teaching. This blends beautifully with her passion as a fine artist, teacher, and photographer. As a teacher Cookie likes to direct her students into that creative zone to look within for their intentions and use them to enhance and inspire their practice. She hopes that they too will find themselves grounded, radiating, and connected to others., Practicing since: 1999, Teaching since: 2006, Inspired by: Shiva Rea, Rod Stryker, and Sarah Powers

The creative aspects of yoga, mantra, mudra, chakras, visualization and meditation as well as philosophy influence Cookie’s own practice and teaching. This blends beautifully with her passion as a fine artist, teacher, and photographer. As a teacher Cookie likes to direct her students into that creative zone to look within for their intentions and use them to enhance and inspire their practice. She hopes that they too will find themselves grounded, radiating, and connected to others., Practicing since: 1999, Teaching since: 2006, Inspired by: Shiva Rea, Rod Stryker, and Sarah Powers

Teacher: Adi
Bio: Adi found yoga when a friend suggested it as a great compliment to his Zen meditation practice and running. He had a question many of us share: can you meditate if you have a hard time sitting still? Adi has completed six yoga teacher trainings and over 500 additional hours of continuing education. He has been practicing meditation since 1995, and yoga since the late nineties. He began teaching in 2003 and has over 8000 teaching hours. His primary teachers have been Shiva Rea, Melina Meza, SarahJoy Marsh and Katerina Wen., Adi’s teaching style originated in the intensity of Baptiste Power Yoga, but has been filtered through several more alignment based, therapeutic traditions. The result is a strong, flowing practice that is very attentive to the meditative aspect of the body in motion. His classes are often core focused, featuring held poses for strength building, flowing movement sequences for balance and grace, and breathing practices for increased lung capacity, concentration, and peace of mind. Adi also sprinkles in self-inquiry for those interested in meditation.
