A Healing Mudra Pose
 
After years of modern dance training and performing, Beth began her yoga practice in 2000.
    
She quickly discovered that
a regular yoga practice could reduce stress, heal injuries, and deepen her connection to what she values most in life. After years of practice as a student,
 
  Beth was ready to take her yoga to the next level - as an instructor. She achieved her teacher training certification through CorePower Yoga 2007 and completed training programs with Silver Age Yoga and Dynamic Systems Rehabilitation in 2005.
    
    Beth manages the Point Loma studio and leads the Power Yoga Teacher Training program at Point Loma as well as the Sayulita Mexico yoga retreat.
Whether creating custom classes for individuals with disabilities or teaching classes in the studio, Beth draws upon her alignment based dance background to create a fun yet mindful practice for her students. Her love and passion for yoga shine through.
   
   Beth has a Bachelor’s of Science Degree from SDSU in Kinesiology with a specialization in Fitness, Nutrition and Health.
   When she is not at the
yoga studio she enjoys hiking, attending dance concerts and exploring new restaurants!

Herstory
of
The Stone Pose:
 
 
 
  
 
The Stone Pose
originated from a deep loss in Sherri's life. 
 "Success After Insanity"
      
    For many years, as I struggled from time to time with life's many complications, I found myself fallen into the trap of believing the "false" world of reality...
was my actual "true" reality.
 
    At those times, my world had become
truly dark & grey.
 
      Increasingly my perception would become enhanced
& quite mixed with great clarity & then insanity of both the physical & spiritual world ~
eventually leading me into a world of complete chaos.
 
     Nevertheless, there was always a rainbow in the far far distance ~ though often appearing obscure. BUT...
 
    During those
"Dark Night of the Soul"
moments...
 
... I found myself sitting in the position of
The Stone Pose.
 
  Often it would be on the cool, cool sands at the Englewood beach in the early mornor on my livingroom floor alone, filled with deep silence or outdoors in the center of my beautifully wooded 5-acres in the WV mountains ~ simply resting my mind, body & soul, recueperating once again...
 
and soooo longing for the "Return to Home" ~
the place of complete peace...
 
...peace from the chaos that this world often portrays...
only to have it brought back to my awareness
 
The Rememberance
once again,
 
that "true peace" only lies within. 
 
   I found it interesting that when this "pose"became apart of my awareness (as to being MY body's choice to express the deeper & deepest parts of myself) I began noticing THIS pose more & more around me; in photographs in newspapers or on the news, in sports or in travel, in refugee camps or in children of all ages, and one "seemingly" common thread ~
they all appeared overburdened.
 
So for ALL those just needing a"moment" ~ 
to recueperate, rejuvenate, regroup or simply to 
find a resting place to shut down & go within for  
"A Return to Home" ~ 
 
 
Help recover your soul.
 
Simple & Sacred. . .
 
 
THIS is, what I believe, The Stone Pose does... ultimately.
  
 
 
         May the harsh stones in your life be
washed away, refreshed & renewed,
allowing for only new stones to be discovered
~ offering a healing... 
or simply a
"Return to Home"
