John Ellsworth, Bodywork

Massage has been the passion and profession of my life. My first business card is from when I was 9 years old. I love helping people in the process of transforming pain and limitations into ease, expanse, and even pleasure. My bread and butter is working with injuries but I also work as a Cuddlist and a teacher of Himalayan Tantra.

Shawn & Susan DeRyder

Class Description:
We start the program with about 45 min of gentle, yin yoga postures accompanied by live music. Next we shift into a deep state of relaxation with a guided spoken meditation (15-20 min). For the final hour participants are laying comfortably absorbing the sacred sound of the gong, singing bowls, flute, chimes, and more.

The full program runs 2 hours and often leaves participants feeling rested, rejuvenated, and aware.

Bio:
Shawn and Susan are dedicated students in the lineage of luminosity. They have combined her studies of ashtanga, restorative, and yin yoga with his passion for providing a relaxing, meditative environment using acoustic instruments.

Deb Seche

Class Description:
The class provides a nice opportunity to become familiar with the Vinyasa style of yoga combining breath work, gentle stretching moving into an active flow to give you a well rounded yoga practice.

Bio:
Yoga has been my passion for many years and it’s been a dream of mine to share that with others. Yoga joins together movement, breath and the joy of being present into a beautiful dance.

One element I was drawn to is the non competitive nature of the practice and the spiritual lifestyle it offers. I believe in honoring how your body feels each time you come to the mat by finding balance and most importantly, having fun while simultaneously increasing strength and flexibility. I hope you will leave the class feeling that wonderful balance of peacefulness and energy. Yoga is a forever humbling practice.

Radharani Renee Finkelstein

Class Description:
Enter a deep place of expansion with call and response chanting. Coming from the Bhakti Yoga tradition, kirtan singing is an ancient practice used to still the mind, open the heart, evoke joy, and dissolve separateness. No experience is necessary! All are welcome to come and share a sweet time.

Bio:
Radharani fell in love with kirtan 14 years ago, and is quickly emerging on the international scene for kirtan and sacred music. Through the years, she has shared a stage with many musician friends at the major yoga music festivals such as Bhakti Fest, Ahimsa, Omega Chant and Lovelight with musicians including Sri Kirtan, Kritan Rabbi and Prema Hara.

Radharani’s debut album “Just One Drop” received global acclaim and was reviewed in several of Yoga Journal’s partner magazines worldwide. The unique sound has been called “one of exceptional purity, a mirror of the crystalline voice of the artist.”

Radharani has spent many years traversing the Himalayas, learning from wise teachers, and studying the ancient science of sound through Indian music. She loves helping people open to new horizons through the process of discovering their authentic voice in private lessons and group workshops. She also guides pilgrimages to sacred places in India.

Jean L. Wolfersteig

Class Description:
Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) is a relaxing and energizing practice that has the power to transform us at deep levels to become more of who we truly are. During the session, you will experience the space between wakefulness and sleep, a place we visit naturally before we fall asleep. In this state, we are more open, receptive, and able to use the subconscious mind as a powerful tool. We can increase creativity, strengthen memory, prevent and heal illness and disease, and manage stress levels. Just come into the yoga room, lie down, and listen. There is nothing to do and no way to do this practice wrong.

Bio:
Jean Wolfersteig is passionate about sharing the tools of yoga and mindfulness and the science behind them. She believes – and the research suggests – the persistent effort of a steady practice can bring us into physical, energetic, emotional, and mental balance. Through the contrasting experiences of intense, sweaty physical practice and the deep relaxation of restorative poses and yoga nidra, she helps others find a sense of calm in the storm.

Her teaching is informed by her 35-year career in public mental health service where she witnessed and experienced the devastating effects stress can have on the body and mind. She is also deeply influenced by her continuous study in the field of health and wellness and her personal yoga practice and training.

Jean is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 hour level through her training in Astanga Yoga with Beryl Bender Birch. She has completed specialized certifications in Restorative Yoga and Yoga Therapeutics with Jillian Pransky and in Yoga Nidra with Jennifer Reis. She is an IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist.

She teaches group and individual lessons and workshops at studios, fitness centers, and corporations. A portion of her work is pro bono.
