Yoga: Rachel Heron
My journey as a yogini began in 1992, with David Life and Sharon Gannon, the creators of the Jivamukti style of Hatha yoga. I received my 200 hr yoga teacher certification from the Sivananda Ashram in 1994, and began teaching right away. Over the past 28 years I’ve studied the styles of Kripalu, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Forrest, and Anusara. I have been blessed with many esteemed teachers in these varying traditions. My classes are vigorous, deep, and anchored in therapeutic alignment principles. I believe that when we can stay present in a pose–truly present to the fluctuations of energy, sensation, breath, emotion, thinking-we can extend that experience to the practice of LIVING. Yoga invites me to engage compassion and empathy, to sense what’s here and now, and to live wakefully. It’s my honor and service to share the practice and these benefits with my students.

Food: Sacred Decadence (Leela Maya)
Leela started her journey as a raw vegan dessert chef in 2007 during the early days of Cafe Gratitude where it first began in San Francisco and Marin County. It was working there that she discovered the power of intention, community, & how truly nourishing food felt like sensual kitchen witch craft for her soul. It was love at first bite. Since then she has been a chef and product developer for local healthy food companies like Urban Remedy and Good Earth.
She is wholeheartedly happy to serve the Bay Area Dance Community in nourishing connection from within.
When she is not playing with her food, Leela teaches Play based Authentic Relating & Connection Classes, Full & New Moon Circles for Womyn+, & Cacao Ceremony Soundbaths. She believes that love, joy, connection, and play are key ingredients to a healthy happy life. Blessed Be and Bon Appétit!
