| ARE YOU READY FOR LOVING YOGA? |
 Do you want a feeling of peace and wellness? |
Are you tired of trying to make yourself exercise? |
Do you feel self conscious at a gym? |
Have you accepted that getting older means increased aches and pain? |
Less flexibility? |
Have you ever attended a yoga class – and thought “You’ve got to be kidding!”? |
Do you want to be more accepting and loving of your body and find new ways to transform your body at the same time? (Note, they are not mutually exclusive!) |
Do you ever wonder how you "Let yourself go?" & now wonder how you can "Get yourself back?" |
|
|
If you answered YES to any (or all) of these questions and you are ready for a unique experience that will allow you to love your body just as it is, love moving your body and love the results of transformation. Do you know what I mean by transformation?
Transformation of your body, your mind and your overall wellbeing. |

Loving Yoga is one of the important things in my life, I really feel better, invigorated, and more healthy when I do yoga. Outside of class I don't practice much, or for very long when I do, but I apply movements and stretches every day in my daily activity: driving, stooping, reaching high shelves, etc. I especially love the guided yoga that Shelley does, and the ongoing reminders about form. I have trouble doing these things on my own. I also love the people in my classes, all different, and all easy to be with.

Loving Yoga is more than a yoga class.
It is an experience of being gently guided by a loving spirit to find your own loving spirit.
Yes, of course... it is about stretching and gently building strength.
Yes, of course is about a meditation.
Yes, of course it is about a mind/body experience.
The icing on the cake is that Loving Yoga is an opportunity to
practice with a teacher who has the time, patience, love,
experience and skills to help you develop  |

The class is a great work-out. Challenging, but never intimidating. And I love that it's combined with a meditative component. I also really appreciate the atmosphere--Shelley is accepting of all levels, as are my fellow classmates. I never feel like I need to be more like so-and-so. It's a very personal experience within a truly supportive group. I love that.

I’m Sandra Ahten. I am a Health and Wellness coach, who works with individuals who are struggling with diet and weight. In 2007 I asked my own trusted yoga teacher Shelley Masar to design a yoga experience for my clients who struggle with weight and body image. Shelley envisioned an experience that was more of a guided practice than a “routine class” which emphasized “perfect form”. We both envisioned a physical studio space that sanctuary and not a gym. |

Loving Yoga was born! |

I love having Shelley as a teacher. She has introduced yoga to me with a loving and nurturing that is unbelievable and beautiful. I find it relaxing and restorative. Shelley has been very aware of each persons special needs and is gifted in finding alternative moves and positions for our needs. I would suggest everyone give yoga a try. My blood pressure has returned to normal.
Thank you.

Join in the experience of yoga with a very small group of like-minded people,
most of whom start out with no yoga experience
and develop their own practice in the Loving Yoga studio.
You will learn to love your body; the body you have right now.

What is the Golden Key? |
The “golden key” is yoga done with frequency and that is personally guided by a chosen teacher so that one can develop a practice that truly serves their mind, body and soul.
Commonly when individuals are desperate to de-stress their lives or desperate to find gentle holistic cure for their overworked, overfed, and often neglected bodies – they need and want more than the typical beginner yoga experience.
What is the usual experience?
-- The teacher uses standard preplanned routines that best fit everyone
-- Large classes prevent you from getting any hands-on guidance.
-- Rotating teachers, who don't learn your name, much less know your needs and desires.

Yoga needs to be a personal experience, to receive the greatest benefit. So these folks, desperate to de-stress and find the holistic cures for their ailments, hire a private yoga teacher. That is great if you can afford it. (Anywhere from $50 - $100 per session.)
Unfortunately though, they may be able to afford only one session per week. And as we all know, the benefits of yoga come much more quickly when you have a regular practice, and (we also know) that it’s hard to establish that regularity by coming to only one class per week, no matter how individualized it is. |
Loving Yoga’s Gold Key Package
is designed for those who want those
quicker benefits of an intense yoga experience.
It is designed for someone who is ready to
devote resources
(time, money, thoughts, energy to their wellness).
Do you need to
de-stress,
fix some ailments,
or grow spiritually through a strong mind/body experience?
Or simply need the flexibility of having several choices of class times each week?
Then the Golden Key Package is for you. |
 |
As with all of the Loving Yoga packages you benefit from small classes that allow for individual attention.
(Usually 4 – 8 participants).
You benefit from having a teacher who is
extensively trained in the technical aspects
and
extraordinarily gifted in the intuitive aspects. |
In addition, you are allotted four classes per week to develop a deepening teacher/ student relationship.
A relationship that will allow Shelley to
~~ observe your flexibilities and limitations
~~ concentrate on restorative or therapeutic yoga for your specific health concerns
~~ help you develop your mental and spiritual center |
|

I have been studying with Shelley for more than a year. She has been gentle, compassionate and forgiving of any body size that walks into the room. No matter what, she works with you personally so that you can achieve your highest good in a yoga pose. In her willingness to show adaptability and acceptance, she has taught me to be more accepting and compassionate with myself. Some poses were emotionally difficult to do, due to past trauma and I have learned to " |
