Given that the Western model of Yoga tends towar d only a focus on the physical aspects of the practice\, I was happy to fi nd a more traditional practice of Hatha Yoga through the Ananda Temple her e in Beaverton\, OR. Teacher Melissa Heart brings this practice to life wi th her unique and effective teaching style with an emphasis on being consc ious 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. Meliss a is a gem that I am grateful to have met\, as you can feel her love for t he practice and desire to share it with others. On a physical level\, I ha d been diagnosed many years ago with a Lumbar spine defect that had given me significant pain and limitations for several decades\, and this practic e 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 Yo ga.” ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://anandaportland.org/wp-content/uploads/20 19/06/Satyana_Yoga-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Yoga LOCATION:Ananda Portland Temple\, 4855 SW Watson Ave\, Beaverton\, OR\, 970 05\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=4855 SW Watson Ave\, Beaver ton\, OR\, 97005\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Ananda Portlan d Temple:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
