While it feels as though we just left the snow behind, things are starting to heat up and we’re already in week 8 of donation classes at Flow Yoga Center - where has the time gone?
Saturday the 29th Dan Kapner will enlighten you with some moving meditation: an invigorating and fast paced vinyasa practice that’s also grounding, calming, and geared toward students of all levels, incorporating a bit of pranayama that will inspire the mind as well as challenge the body.
The Stroga community-based donation class is staying strong with its 2nd week starring Shawn Parrell as the May 29th yoga instructor.
What to expect: Shawn’s classes are strong and deeply nurturing, full of humor and heart. Her roots in the Krishnamacharya lineage and mystical poetry infuse the intelligent and progressive patterns of pranic movement she shares today. Expect lighthearted and challenging play, and whatever funky or sacred rhythms fit the mood that day.
More about your teacher: Shawn Parell was introduced to the Ashtanga primary series at 12 years old, and has been a devoted student of yoga ever since. After countless namaskars over the years, Shawn embodies the spirit of practice – she has logged well over 500 hours of teacher training, teaches private and public classes regularly, practices shambhala meditation daily, travels to India every chance she gets, and is ever-deepening in exploration of asana, meditation, and philosophy. Today, Shawn anchors her yogic journey with the Prana Flow global collective, guided by world-renowned teacher Shiva Rea. She works as a communications specialist for the United Nations Foundation, and studies the dialogue between modern psychology and eastern philosophy as a masters student at Naropa University. Shawn is also a catalyst of the annual DC Global Mala, part of a worldwide event that raises awareness and funds for issues such as global warming, fair trade, and equal education opportunities.

Jen Watts Welsh will be bringing you this Saturday’s Flow Yoga Center donation class, an energetic flow appropriate for all levels. Jen will be incorporating global music in the spirit of her upcoming move to West Africa and Anahata Grace’s international mission, so get ready to experience a sequence of poses to open the heart and consider the world beyond your own mat.
Jen started practicing yoga at 16 as a supplement to competitive swimming and soccer. But it was the yoga that stuck. Upon moving to San Francisco in 2004, she began practicing yoga more seriously under Rusty Wells and Janet Stone, and became inspired to complete teacher training someday. Jen recently graduated Flow’s TT program and incorporates what she loves most from her own practice into her classes: great music, laughter and a challenging but nurturing flow.

While teaching kids in an elementary school in a low-income neighborhood in D.C., I try to simultaneously weave in information about how to treat your pets. It's a joy to share the benefits of yoga while advocating for animals in the home to be treated humanely — downward dog takes on more than just one meaning.
