ABOUT THE TEACHERS
A note from Dawn
I am thrilled to be part of a group of teachers who are going to re-establish a yoga practice here on the island. Brianna and Ryan have graciously invited us to use their property to teach yoga for the summer.
My name is Dawn for those who are new to the island and perhaps haven’t met me as I have been in deep healing in my own home and space for the past 3 years, since a car accident re-injured my back and caused me to close down my healing practice.
I have been teaching yoga for 10 years. The yoga I teach is very gentle, and it has transformed over the years to a form of yoga that is invitational and exploratory. I am going to use the chakras system to focus each week of a 9-week series. When I began teaching Den Kelsey joined our class at 90 – he was deeply inspiring for me. He always wondered why there weren’t more men in the class and he found so much joy and relaxation when he was complete. So no matter how stiff you might feel, this is an amazing system to restore vitality to our physical and emotional bodies.
My classes start on Thursday, June 25 and will run weekly from 9:30 am - 10:45 am. If you would like a one on one consultation to determine your needs or to give you ideas prior to class, or if you just want to talk with me you can reach me at 250-210-0826 or dawn_gordon@telus.net.
Thank you,
Dawn
About Brianna
Brianna's love of yoga was sparked as a teenager on an adventure to India and has grown and evolved as she has learned from gurus, students, fellow instructors and her personal practice. She studied yoga on a subsequent trip to India and has been teaching Hatha classes for 12 years.
During one of Brianna's classes you can expect a mix of active strengthening sequences to energize the body as well as rejuvenating and relaxing poses. Every class is tailored to suit the group's needs and experience levels and all are welcome (modifications will always be provided)! Brianna’s classes start Monday, June 15, 6 pm - 7:15 pm.
Thanks again! Looking forward to building community with you!
