Given that the Western model of Yoga tends toward only a focus on the ph ysical aspects of the practice\, I was happy to find a more traditional pr actice of Hatha Yoga through the Ananda Temple here in Beaverton\, OR. Tea cher Melissa Heart brings this practice to life with her unique and effect ive teaching style with an emphasis on being conscious and still as we mov e into poses\, hold the pose\, and come out of the pose. This practice emp hasizes 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 gra teful to have met\, as you can feel her love for the practice and desire t o share it with others. On a physical level\, I had been diagnosed many ye ars 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 wil l be a lifetime supporter of Melissa and Ananda Yoga."
