I am SO excited to share this space with one of my dearest friends and personal mentor, Tanya Rice!
Tanya first practiced yoga in 2010, became certified as an instructor in 2012, and almost immediately began teaching and sharing this transformative passion with family and friends. A few short years later Tanya’s dream of opening a yoga studio to the public was realized. Azitala is now something of a staple in the Elk River community and draws a wide range of bodies. People flock to Tanya’s classes to soak up that yummy energy! From powerfully active classes to deeply moving meditations, her wide range inspires each practitioner to truly feel YOGA — that union between mind and body.
Tanya will be guiding a number of classes over the retreat weekend and will also be offering a handful of one-on-one Reiki healing sessions for chakra clearing and energy wellness.
{Tanya is E-RYT 200, E-RYT 500, Module in Kundalini, Module in Yin/Restorative, Module in Yoga Alchemy, Module in Bhakti/Sound Healing, Pranayama, Grief and Trauma yoga, and Master Reiki practitioner.}
I (Amber) began my history with yoga well over 10 years ago. I loved that post-yoga high and was inspired to become a teacher once I experienced the connection between mind/body/higher power. Teaching yoga feels like both a service to others and a fulfillment of passion and joy for myself. I teach a wide variety of classes and bodies but find that people connect most with my style if they are open to spiritual development (i.e. more than a workout).
In 2021 I began training in Thai Yoga Bodywork and am so excited to share this healing work with more people! This new path has reenergized me and restored my inner flame.
I was inspired to create a retreat so women could experience an immersion of sorts; an all-inclusive experience that could refresh the spirits of caregivers in our community.
In the words of Patanjali, “…with a peaceful mind you can go out into the world and serve well.” Join me as your retreat host and yoga teacher for a weekend of cultivating authentic connection in your life so you may continue to serve those around you.
