Yoga in Sacramento

Xenia teaches yoga in Sacramento, Carmichael and Folsom. See schedule on sidebar. Her classes combine vigorous vinyasa with deep opening poses. Xenia's training draws from various yoga traditions. At the core are Kripalu yoga and Power Vinyasa. Kripalu stands for "moving from a place of compassion." It is from this place that we use micro movements, breath, and body awareness to find our edge: the sweet spot between effort and surrender.

Why Yoga?

Yoga offers the powerful opportunity to listen to the wisdom of our own bodies. Using something as simple as the breath (or as complex as prana) we learn to be quiet and listen, really listen. Opening to this experience brings about an exquisite feeling of freedom. No concern for context, nor past, nor future. No expectations. No room for judgment. A rush of presence takes over.

As we cultivate more and more of these yoga moments, the mind becomes unattached, the heart softens, and we learn to connect with something higher than ourselves. From this place of inner peace, we practice and radiate love and compassion. "LOVE is the first lesson. Love one another." - Swami Kripalu.
