Hatha Yoga (Deb McNamara)

Open to all levels, this class will offer participants the opportunity to explore synchronizing movement and breath, to deepen into one’s awareness of connection with the Earth, and to practice living more fully in the realm of the body. 

Deborah McNamara blends her awareness of Earth and body as sacred into a distinctive approach to Classical Hatha Yoga, informed by her academic background in Ecopsychology.  She received her yoga teacher certification from the Shambhava School of Classical Hatha Yoga in Rollinsville, Colorado, and currently teaches at Root Whole Body Wellness Center in Portland, Oregon.
