Hatha/Vinyasa Flow with Colette VanStraaten

February 6, 2025 • 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Lisa Theis
Lisa’s journey with the practice of yoga began in 2000 in a Bikram studio in San Francisco. What began as a physical and mental challenge to just stay in the room for the duration of class quickly became a deep and healing connection for her body, mind, and spirit, and eventually became a life’s passion and calling. Though she has had many influential teachers, she is a dedicated student and follows the lineage of Para Yoga and Sri Vidya. Her classes strive to provide a space for each person to explore the effect of yoga in their own way and, while rooted in the methodologies of Para Yoga, are an amalgamation of all her teachers’ influences. Each class will include pranayama (breathwork), the exploration and experience of the energetics of asana (postures), mantra, visualization and intentional focus, and meditation.

Description

Colette's All Level Vinyasa class offers accessibility for the first time yogi to the experienced practitioner. She weaves playfulness and curiosity into each linked breath and invitation for movement. Her deep care to witness and hold space for each participant, as well as the collective, shines though hoping to bring her students a sense of personal empowerment to connect with themselves and each other. Yoga has had a steady positive current in Colette's life since she stepped into her first yoga class in 2006 and completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2018.
