About the Instructors
Tommorow:
JESSICA KENNY, RYT: Will be teaching yoga at the City Gallery February 10th, 2011 at 6 pm. Yoga frees me. It has helped me (and continues to help me) drop the unnecessary bags of crap I choose to carry with me, to free my arms to love myself and the wonderful people in my life. After getting my B.A. in English and Communications in 2007, I stepped into my first yoga class and left feeling lighter, more aware and full of shifted energy. When I found my first heated power yoga class, it was all over. Up until that point in my life, I had lived imprisoned and weighed down by constant anxiety and self-judgment. Though the practice's intrinsic compassionate yet challenging nature was very unfamiliar, it unleashed me. With yoga, I feel strong, I feel beautiful and I feel love. I learn to let go and laugh even harder. I recently received my RYT-200 through MBody Yoga Teacher Certification Program. Through the inspiration of my teacher, Mark White, as well as my other amazing influences, I am constantly growing and unlearning. When I moved from Boston to Charleston in 2009, finding a yoga studio to call home took precedence to finding a job. I am so grateful and excited to begin my journey as a teacher as an apprentice at CPY, teaching its Community Class. In my classes, you will experience a challenging yet freeing physical practice, filled with laughter, spirit and compassion. I can't wait to meet you.
Upcoming Seesions:
EMILY WATSON, RYT: Will be teaching Yoga at the City Gallery February 17th, 2011 6pm I moved from NJ to go to The College of Charleston in 2004. It was in this quaint town that I took my first yoga class. I was hooked from day one! It seemed so challenging to me, but something kept me coming back. I just felt good. Six years later, I'm still growing in my practice. Each time I step on my mat, it's different. I learn a little about myself with each practice. I started yoga for the physical benefits, which is great! But as I've grown and learned about yoga, my practice has changed drastically. It's not about getting the "right pose" or "looking good". The reason I continue to do yoga is for ME. It helps me breathe, clears my mind, and keeps me present. These feelings led me to Yoga One in Charlotte, where I received my RYT 200 certification. In my classes, you will be challenged with flowing, holding, and learning about your reactions. I look forward to seeing you on the mat! MERISSA MANLEY - CERTIFIED JIVAMUKTI YOGA® TEACHER: Will be teaching at the City Gallery Frebruary 24th, 2011 at 6pm. In 2002 Merissa was introduced to yoga in musical theater classes at Cal State University where she received her B.A in theater arts. In Charleston, she longed for a method that would integrate her love of performance, science, and spirituality. Then she went to a Rockasana! class at Jivamukti! Listening to the teachings of Jeffrey Cohen, Andrea Boyd, and the other teachers, she adopted a vegan diet. With daily asana practice, chanting beautiful mantras, and becoming vegan came clarity and revealed her true path to become a yoga teacher. Merissa is currently enrolled in the Jivamukti Apprenticeship Program, mentored by Jeffrey Cohen. She is an enthusiatic, disiplined, and passionate teacher. Merissa offers gratitude to her beloved teachers Jeffreyji and Andreaji who touch her heart with their devotion, Sharon Gannon and David Life, Jivamukti Yoga co-founders, her parents for endless love and support, and her love Brett Cappello and his parents for always believing in her dreams. Om Mani Padme Hum - Ah ha! The precious jewel is in the lotus. All that needs to be known dwells inside your own heart.
