Rachel Zinman has been teaching and practicing yoga since the age of 17 and brings over four decades of experience to her classes. She studied and mentored with Alan Finger in New York, serving as a senior teacher and teacher trainer at ISHTA Yoga from 2000–2005. She went on to establish ISHTA teacher trainings in Australia and taught internationally in Japan, Europe, India, Bali and South Africa.

We are excited to share with our community this limited series event, hosted by Rachel, called “Dive Deep into the Deities”. Since 2008, Rachel has woven her love of the deities into her grounding, healing, and creatively inspiring classes. The deities, or devatas, are the shining ones—symbols of energies and qualities already inherent in every human being. Love, beauty, courage, wisdom, abundance—these qualities are embodied in the deity and become a focus of devotion. When we see their form externally, we are reminded that we are that. The love and beauty we perceive is the love and beauty we already are.

Each deity carries a story, a mantra, a mudra, and a yantra. These distinct yet interwoven expressions focus the mind, awaken the heart, and remind us we are an inseparable part of the universe.

To know the deity is to be the deity.

In this class series, Rachel will introduce seven distinct deities, each representing a different aspect of our being. Together we will begin with a short talk, followed by an asana practice to prepare the body and mind, and conclude with mantra, mudra, and meditation to embody the energy of each deity.

Schedule (each class runs on a Thursday from 2-3:30PM):

Oct 2 - Pure Ganesha
Oct 9 - The Yoga of Sarasvati
Oct 23 - The Hidden Treasures of Hanuman
Oct 30 - Lakshmi Love
Nov 13 - Durga the Protector
Nov 20 - Krishna, the Pure Self
Dec 4 - Nataraj, the Cosmic Dancer

We hope you will join us at our flagship studio for this limited series event! Drop-in options available, or register for the full event.

🪻Cathy’s class returns to the schedule on Monday, September 8th! The practice will combine stretching and restorative yoga postures to help release deep layers of tension stored in the physical and energetic body. A combination of props are used in poses, allowing the nervous system to relax and the cells to regenerate. Aromatherapy is introduced to further ease tension and facilitate deeper layers of surrender and healing.

🪻Cathy teaches to share gratitude, and help others discover the healing aspects of yoga. She encourages exploring yoga as the gateway to let go of the tense mind, body, and breath, so freedom that is our birthright can flow in. Cathy is a Senior ISHTA yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 certification. Also, her B.S. degree in medical sciences plus perfumes/essential oils background allow her to readily describe how the ISHTA system integrates ancient Indian wisdom with today’s modern science.
