Given that the Western model of Yoga tends toward only a f ocus 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 Beave rton\, OR. Teacher Melissa Heart brings this practice to life with her uni que and effective teaching style with an emphasis on being conscious and s till as we move into poses\, hold the pose\, and come out of the pose. Thi s practice emphasizes utilizing the poses to relax the body and be aware o f 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 practic e and desire to share it with others. On a physical level\, I had been dia gnosed many years ago with a Lumbar spine defect that had given me signifi cant 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 gr ateful and will be a lifetime supporter of Melissa and Ananda Yoga."
