Natural Awakenings Celebrates Yoga Month
CYNTHIA PIERRO special- izes in rejuvenation yoga. This yoga blends Iyengar style yoga with polarity therapy yoga to honor the body/mind as a temple. Iyengar style yoga shows you how to posi- tion the various parts of your body with correct alignment supported by breathing tech- niques. This allows your body, nervous system and mind to function at their best potential. Polarity yoga comes from an energy-based holistic system. The simple postures, sounds and quick breathing balance your emotions and energy. Cynthia is a holistic health teacher, Registered Polarity Educator (1989) and Licensed Massage Therapist (1986), and began Iyengar yoga in 1989. Let her be your yoga guide with her DVD and classes.

Natural Awakenings is recognizing those teachers and centers committed to the well-being of our community.
What AMY JOHNSON does while teaching a one-hour power yoga class at Twist Power Yoga is hard to put into words. Her students inevitably leave transformed in some small way, with peaceful ex- pressions as they walk out the door calmer, stronger, mindful of their physical and emo- tional being. Amy brings more than education and experi- ence to her yoga instruction. She brings to every student a sense of empowerment, showering them with encouragement and acceptance while projecting her own love for yoga to all. Look for Amy on the schedule at

Class offerings include Yogua Dao, Multi-Sculpt, Sloga, STR8-FLOW, Tsada

The light within me recognizes the light within you, and at that moment of recognition we become one. Dallas |
