This is an all levels class suitable for beginners. This class will keep you moving from beginning to end (until Savasana). Expect movement, not just stretching. All levels are welcome to practice to your level of expertise. The word 'Vinyasa' means "breath-synchronized movement". In other words, you will move from one pose to the next with an emphasis on syncing breath to movement leaving you feeling energized and grounded in the body and mind.

This variation is sometimes called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. Vinyasa's strength is in its diversity, so there is a lot of room to shine.

Dawna Bennett has been practicing and teaching yoga since 2000. She loves yoga and the pulse that is ignited by the practice.

She is an Anusara-inspired Yoga Teacher having trained and studied with John Friend, Sianna Sherman and Douglas Brooks who have each gifted her with grace! Through their teachings she has learned that every single turn of events, however dark or disturbing the outcome, can, in some circuitous way, be the raw material for something that eventually surfaces with the sweetness of honey, the poetry of transformation, and the gift of appreciating life. She has had other amazing teachers...too many to list here.

Currently, her full-time job is teaching Nutrition and Wellness at The University of Phoenix. She has an MS in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University and has devoted the past 13 years to becoming proficient at nutrition education while teaching yoga. Teaching Nutrition and Yoga continues to be her passion and privilege.

But her greatest joy has been raising her two beautiful children...Abigail, her brilliant daughter and Jackson, her terrific son.

Dawna teaches her students to enjoy what they are doing and step into a self-awareness conversation that evokes greatness within.
