Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga

Devorah is a yoga teacher and yoga therapist and has been immersed in the study and practice of mind-body healing for the past 35 years. She is authorized in the Ashtanga tradition and has been traveling to India for further study since 1993. Her greatest influence on the Ashtanga path is Dena Kingsberg. Devorah has had the privilege of one to one study in Sanskrit and Yoga Shastras with her teachers Dr. Richard Miller, Kirinavali, and Dr. M.A. Jayashree from Mysore, India. Devorah is a Vedic recitation and chanting teacher and continues to advance her veda studies under the guidance of her teacher Shantala Sriramaiah. In addition to her weekly classes in the Mysore method, Devorah offers courses and immersions that weave together asana, Vedic wisdom and the Tantric teachings of Yoga Nidra. She has a gift of offering these ancient teachings in an applicable way. She also has a thriving private practice, where she works one to one supporting students toward greater Self understanding and transformative healing. I consider it a great privilege to be invited to participate in another's healing journey, and over my two decades of teaching I have found an approach that serves as my guide.Show More

Myofascial Release

I began dancing in a studio when I was 3 years old, and embodiment has been my saving grace through childhood neglect and trauma, 2 divorces, loss of children, domestic violence, sexual assault and more. Many times in my life I didn't quite know how I could go on living, or if I wanted to. Every time something expansive and full of light would anchor me into the path of choosing life and choosing myself no matter how difficult the uphill climb seemed. After persevering so many challenges in my life, I am devoted to supporting others in their path back to self-love, peace, joy, and wholeness. My love for dance translated into a love for studying the human body, psyche, and spirit/soul and I have been on an epic journey of deep study and education to better inform my healing path and those I assist. I am a life-long learner and will continue to dive into spaces and places where I can continue to learn and expand. I am a 500 ERYT Yoga Instructor and Facilitator, have a Pre/Post Natal Fitness Emphasis, am certified in myofascial rolling and release, love supporting cycling beings and girls and women, and the masculine who wants to learn to support women and children. I am a beautiful blend of practical and esoteric, weaving my intuitive magic and vast array of skills and lenses to help the individual drawn to work with me. Whether you need help in the physical plane with your body and sexuality/sensuality, your mind/thoughts and how to interact with others and the world, or are feeling stuck in spiritual/soulful realms, I've got you.Show More

Reiki

Jennifer Vanatta is a devoted guide in the healing arts, blending over a decade of yoga teaching with certifications in sound healing and Reiki energy work. Her path to these practices was not simply academic, it was earned through lived experience. Having faced trauma and profound loss at a young age, Jennifer knows firsthand the weight of anxiety and depression, and the long, often nonlinear road toward healing. It was through yoga, sound, and energy work that she found her footing; tools that helped her return, again and again, to her own inner stillness. That personal journey is the heartbeat of everything she offers. Today, she weaves together movement, meditation, and vibrational healing to help others reconnect to their own inner wisdom and natural state of harmony. She holds space with deep compassion; not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who has walked through the dark and found the light on the other side. Rooted in Nevada City, CA, Jennifer is inspired by nature, the rhythms of the earth, and the alchemy of nourishing, high-frequency living. Her work invites balance, presence, and deep embodiment for anyone who is ready to come home to themselves.Show More

Acupressure

As a youth, I suffered from chronic stomach pain and other maladies. At age 16, I went to a traditional western allopathic doctor. He spoke with me for twenty minutes. I was asked questions such as “What type of recreational drugs have you tried?” and “Where is your pain?” I was not asked ‘Do you exercise?’ ‘How much fruits and vegetables do you eat?’ ‘Do you sleep well?’ ‘What do you do to create happiness in your life?’ The doctor then prescribed me four pharmaceuticals. They were Celebrex for the back pain, Zantac for the stomach pain, Valium, and Zoloft for I can only imagine why. I felt that the pharmaceuticals were not going to heal me but just mask the symptoms. I was offended to be only offered drugs without any help or advice towards health and wellness. I refused them and started to look into alternative health modalities. Six years later, I was referred to an amazing acupuncturist and gifted healer. It was the first time someone understood how sick I was since their diagnostic methods could see past my outer “healthy” appearance. The acupuncturist diagnosed and treated the imbalances that were ruining a lot of my days. The treatments and information changed my life and inspired me to discover how it all works. Now by sharing my knowledge and experience with others, I can help ignite the light inside of them, to find the desire to heal. I can do this by bringing my patients the tools and power needed to create wellness and health in their own lives. This is done by integrating the Eastern and Western medical systems, frequency medicine and patient education, thus creating high-quality true health care.Show More
