Monthly Yoga Theme

MARCH YOGA THEME: Freedom, Moksha
​
The householder tradition of yoga views moksha as freedom from self limiting patterns of bondage. These could be patterns of movement, action, thought or emotion.

I like the words of Klaus Klostermaeer on moksha:

"Moksha implies a setting free of hitherto fettered faculties, a removing of obstacles to an unrestricted life, permitting a person to be more truly a person in the full sense. This concept presumes an unused human potential or creativity, compassion and understanding which had been blocked and shut out."  

So, we could define moksha as the capacity to be more freely who you are. Join me on the mat and let's explore what freedom feels like in your body!

What students say...

Annie brings in an energy that is infused with calm, peace and reassurance. When Annie shares her wisdom there is a degree of balanced passion and fire with the soothing comfort of reassurance. Annie's body language is comforting and gentle, her voice is soft and flows eloquently. There is beauty in the choice of words and confidence behind the message she shares. In Annie's presence, I feel enthusiastic, energized, optimistic and centered. All these qualities make my practice in her space a productive and efficient one, both physically and spiritually.  Annie's energy is unique in its nature thanks to her genuine caring, reaching out and enthusiasm to share with others."
- Jasmin Dickerson

Annie Barrett guides with a highly experienced, confident teaching approach that channels confidence to her students.  Her own practice is informed with earnest study that she shares in concise teachings grounded with examples from life.  Her classes are a satisfying blend of story, chant, asana, and good humor. 
- Stephanie

Annie's classes are heartfelt, honest, and uplifting. In receiving her instruction, one is driven to look inward while tuning our outward asanas with determination and fine instruction. Through communication and  thoughtful alterations, Annie's classes are challenging and well tailored to meet the needs of students of all levels. Her classes offer nourishment for the body, heart, and mind. 
- Biancana Brown

"Annie’s classes have a nice balance of alignment instruction and heart opening exploration that allow students to safely explore their edge and go deeper into their true Self.  In addition to asana, Annie exposes her students to pranayama (breath work), meditation and a little bit of philosophy into each of her classes. It is her dedication to all 8 limbs of yoga that makes me want to drive an hour and a half to attend her classes."
