Tori Baltis RYT 500
Mystical Dance Teacher,
Kundalini Inner Dance Facilitator, 500hr multi-style RYT, 200hr Kundalini Level 1 RYT
Mystical Dance: Mondays 7:00pm to 8:30pm
Tori has traveled all over India and Thailand sharing her love of yoga, meditation and dance. She has studied with Monika Natural learning Mystical dance. Mystical dance is a dance of self expression and discovery that moves energy throughout the body and connects us to a higher state of divinity, ecstasy and bliss. It moves us beyond being the dancer to knowing we are also the dance. It is a meditative and therapeutic experience. No dance experience is necessary as it is not based around any technical skills.
Kundalini Inner Dance: Saturdays: 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Inner dance is a meditative journey that is done laying down. The practitioner goes into a trance like dream state. In this state if we allow ourselves to surrender we can tap into our kundalini energy and allow it to awaken and flow throughout our bodies. It is very effective for working through energetic blockages and releasing energy that no longer serves us, allowing us to awaken to our full potential.
For more information and to register you can email Tori at t.baltis@gmail.com or call at 236-255-1532

Kim Nanuan
LJ&Kim Yoga
Class: Gentle Yin
Time: Saturdays 11am to 12pm
While I teach hatha, restorative, etc. I am most known for gentle yin. Yin Yoga works to gently stretch the connective tissues of the body, fascia, tendons and ligaments. Gentle Yin poses are held longer, but students are encouraged to listen to their bodies and gently come out of a pose when ready. In a Gentle Yin class students are encouraged not to strain or force a stretch of the muscle, instead we breathe deeply and allow the body to open and release in its own time.
Prices: One month unlimited ALL LJ&Kim: $67. One month pre-paid Saturdays: $10 per class. Drop-in: $15. Teen: $8. Contact: LJKimYoga@gmail.com

I fell in love with yoga many years ago now while backpacking around Australia. It was the beginning of spiritual journey I never even knew I would take! I've been a student for over 10 years and I've taken classes and courses around the globe. I also brings Yoga Nidra meditation to my classes. This is a healing meditation used by the teacher that brings the student on the point of wakefulness and sleep when the body is in a state of advanced receptivity for healing.... a total state of bliss!
