Where Everything is Music

Don't worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn't matter.

We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.

The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world's harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.

So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.

This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.

Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!

They derive
from a slow and powerful root
that we can't see.

Stop the words now.
Open the window in the center of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out.

Rumi

About Wildflower Yoga

Yoga is an ancient system of postures and stretches that help to bring a person's body and mind back into its natural state of balance. The yoga practitioner enjoys greater strength, flexibility and balance, reduced stress and tension, and an overall feeling of well-being when the postures, called asanas, are incorporated into a regular practice.

Kelly Fisher of Wildflower Yoga is a Certified Anusara Yoga teacher. She completed her 500 hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Willow Street Yoga Center. Anusara Yoga is a heart-oriented approach to hatha yoga developed by John Friend. It employs universal principals of alignment along with attention to inner awareness to help the student find her optimal state of being, and ultimately, her joy. Kelly currently studies with John Friend, Jordan Bloom, and other senior teachers. She holds classes in Cheverly and Silver Spring, Maryland, and in other places upon request.

Class Descriptions

Level I

This class is for first time students and those students who want a stronger foundation in the basics. We will learn yoga postures and proper alignment techniques as well as focus on breathing awareness and inner attention. Stress relief and deep relaxation are always good goals.

Level I/II

This class is for students who have already taken the beginning yoga class and wish to deepen their knowledge of yoga postures and technique.

Level II

For students who are well grounded in the poses and practice of levels I and I/II. We will practice more advanced poses and longer holdings as well as breathing techniques and meditation.

Mixed Level

This class is a combination of the above for students of any level of ability. It is suitable for beginners, but it will be more challenging than a Level 1 class.

Gentle Yoga

This class is designed specifically for people who would like to focus more on deep relaxation. It is ideal for those who are recovering from injuries or with other special conditions. It is a combination of yoga postures, stretches and deep relaxation, with more emphasis on creating comfort in the body and maintaining strength, and less on flow and sun salutations.
