We are SO happy to offer a new class at Stone Turtle Yoga, taught by the lovely Preya Shah!

Hatha Plus, which meets on Wednesdays at 5:30pm in Higgins Lake starting June 24th, will be slightly more rigorous than our standard Hatha class, and will emphasize total body rejuvenation and relaxation, with a focus on full, yogic breathing (Pranayama). Poses may include sun salutations, standing poses, balancing poses and more. This will be an excellent class for the middle of the week, and will leave you feeling invigorated, grounded and focused.

Preya Shah earned her Masters of Physical Therapy from the University of Michigan before she set off on a journey to understand different healing modalities from around the world. This personal passage resulted in years of studying Yoga in India, Herbal Medicine in Bali, and Holistic Medicine in Japan, which lead to a deep level of healing and connection to her true self. It’s from this profound desire to understand authentic healing, that Preya’s specialty of Mind, Body, and Spirit has blossomed. She has also spent years studying nutrition, supplementation, and craniosacral therapy as adjuncts to her yogic practice. Preya has been actively involved in learning, teaching and living the Yogic lifestyle for over 10 years. She has obtained the title of Yoga Acharya (Yoga Master) through the Sivananda International Yoga Centers.

We are so excited to have Preya share her deep knowledge and teaching experience with our yoga community! Join us in welcoming her to the STY family this Wednesday at 5:30pm in Higgins Lake.

Much love and happy summer!

– Mariah, Lexi, Amy & Preya
