In an effort to reduce financial barriers, we offer Sliding Scale Pricing on select Circle Yoga programs. The Reduced Rate is for those facing financial hardship, the Standard Rate is our usual fee that covers costs including teacher pay, and the Pay It Forward Rate helps cover fellow students who need to pay less. If you need to pay less than the Reduced Rate, partial scholarships are also available.

The most challenging posture of yoga is the ever-changing posture we explore off the mat in our everyday living. While we are not fully in charge of what comes our way, our yoga practices can help us cultivate the navigational skills needed to explore, integrate, and find empowerment individually and collectively.

Join Kellie Finn, C-IAYT, E-RYT, in this 6-sessions course exploring the Rasas: the nine dominant energies that define our moods and emotions. Each class will be a deep dive into these flavors as tools for better understanding and piloting emotional self-regulation. During class time, we will use style of practice, categories of postures, breathing rhythms, mudras, meditation, and mindfulness exercises to steep ourselves in each essence. From here we will dive into conversation on how to recognize, accept, and cultivate or reduce these energies depending on the needs of the moment. Each class will include a follow-up email overviewing our time together with extra tools for continued exploration on your own.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome.

Presentation and practices from each session will be recorded, so registrants can catch up if they need to miss a class.

Kellie Finn

Kellie Finn is immensely grateful for her New England upbringing, family, friends, sunshine, good jokes, moon gazing, night walks, ocean breezes, lingering hugs, fresh vegetables, road trips, adjectives, and an ever growing boot collection. She has been studying yoga since a volunteer summer at Omega in 1991, and teaching classes/working privately as a Yoga Therapist since September 2001, after two years of volunteer service and study at Kripalu Institute. She is a recent transplant to the DC area where she serves as a Clinic Supervisor at Maryland University of Integrative Health's Yoga Therapy Program, writes, and continues her private practice exploring how the practices and philosophy of yoga can heal trauma and guide individuals into a life of communal empowerment.

Kellie's alignment based classes are infused with humor, philosophy, poetry, self-inquiry, ethical explorations, education, and tools for carrying the practices of yoga off the mat. She teaches postures in layers with consistent encouragement to listen to the brilliance of one's own body / being. She believes that the practices of yoga offer us the opportunity to connect to the Grace within ourselves such that we can move as far as possible beyond our own being to cultivate connection in the world without losing recognition of Grace. She looks forward to seeing you on the mat!
