" Energy and joy flood my body cells. Joy descends to me!"
Uplift into that higher state of energy to enjoy the inner abundance and prosperity that we have available to us at all times.
This is a beginners class with a focus on awakening our entire being. The poses will highlight attuning to that wellspring of divine energy we are connected to at all times.
Moving through our session, we’ll transcend the barriers, expanding into greater inner freedom and deeper awareness of our higher selves. After awakening energy, we will direct the energy flow inward and up the spine with a brief meditation following the asanas.
We are made of energy! Join us to feel energized for the weekend.
Ananda Yoga® is gentle and our instructors encourage and support appropriate modifications so all bodies can participate safely. Come early to class and speak with the instructor about your needs.

Review of Ananda Yoga – Beaverton OR.
From: Rick Cady - Tualatin, OR.

"As a current student of Ayurveda, I had been looking to complement my studies with a Yoga tradition that would support the ideals espoused by the ancients related to the Yoga sciences. Given that the Western model of Yoga tends toward only a focus on the physical aspects of the practice, I was happy to find a more traditional practice of Hatha Yoga through the Ananda Temple here in Beaverton, OR. Teacher Melissa Heart brings this practice to life with her unique and effective teaching style with an emphasis on being conscious and still as we move into poses, hold the pose, and come out of the pose. This practice emphasizes utilizing the poses to relax the body and be aware of our state of mind to ultimately prepare for meditation. Melissa is a gem that I am grateful to have met, as you can feel her love for the practice and desire to share it with others. On a physical level, I had been diagnosed many years ago with a Lumbar spine defect that had given me significant pain and limitations for several decades, and this practice has made me virtually pain free in about 3 months. A true miracle. I am forever grateful and will be a lifetime supporter of Melissa and Ananda Yoga."
