Cheri Rae – Vinyasa Flow Yoga |
 |
It has been said numerous times that Cherie Rae makes yoga “fun, inspiring and makes sense."
From the old yogi to the first time student, I can promise you that YOGA will change your life.
I thought I was going to die during my first yoga class...... Now, I can tell you that after 15 years of doing..... yoga is my answer to stress, emotional eating, loving myself, patience, better listening, inner peace, road rage and most importantly, having fun in yoga. I will never stop learning so I attend yoga workshops and study with other teachers everywhere I travel.
Here's the best part, I believe yoga is a gift, so your gift to me is showing up for yourself.I really just want the whole world to feel amazing and that is the promise of yoga. I look so forward to "shinning my light" in Bali and perhaps lighting some wicks that may have either blown out or have yet to be illuminated........
So let's glow and grow to the oneness we were always meant to be. |
Rae Vavra – Yoga Teacher |
 |
Rae Vavra began her yoga journey in 1986 and has spent the past 20 years practicing and teaching. Before moving to Asia, Rae spent most of this time teaching and conducting workshops in southern California, specializing in structural alignment.
Her influences stem primarily from Ashtanga and Iyengar and practices that stem from both of these, such as Anusara, Jiva Mukti, and Forrest Yoga.
Having suffered from scoliosis and injuries prone to Ashtanga practice, Rae began to fine tune her own practice by using the wall for postures, as well as props, partner yoga, and restorative postures for rejuvenation, and primarily to reduce injuries.
Rae's personal experience with injury gives her the intuition to help her students reach new levels of openness by emphasizing on structural alignment. Her subtle adjustments, enable one to deepen the pose with ease and comfort. She believes insuring correct alignment brings about balance and harmony to ones practice.
Rae will be in Bali on retreat at The Yoga Barn in April 2008. |
