This strong and subtle practice will wake us to any asymmetries and imbalances we may have. This is not a class full of sit-ups! Rather, we will connect to our deepest postural muscles and create a lasting and dynamic inner stability that is ready to move in any direction, at any moment.

Let’s come together and celebrate the transformational depth that Yoga can truly be.
This afternoon will be a potent mix of philosophy lecture and discussion, gentle asana, breathing practices and meditation highlighting the steady shift of our focus from the outer world to the calm inner-most world. Pratyahara, known as sense-withdrawal, is the practice that transports us from external distractions to concentration and meditative absorption.
Note: Yoga is not meant to deny the joys of our senses in our day-to-day existence. Rather we aim to create a reliable pathway to the lasting contentment of Self-realization.
Annie Carpenter, the creator of SmartFLOW Yoga, is an international Yoga teacher based in Northern California.

A committed student of Yoga for over 40 years now, Annie continues to bring her passion and curiosity, love of anatomy, evolutionary movement, meditation and classical philosophy into her teachings. A childhood of sports and dance lead her to New York, where she danced and taught for the Martha Graham Company, in the 80s, cementing her love of movement and yoga as true sanctuaries for the soul. By the 90s, she began teaching Yoga full time. She is grateful to all of her teachers over the years, including Swami Satchidananda, Maty Ezraty, Chuck Miller, Lisa Walford, Pattabhi Jois, Trudy Goodman and many others.

With the knowledge of the true Self comes compassion, peace and appreciation for all life.
