At 10:15am Ranjani will be teaching followed by an 11:30am lecture on the Ramayana!
Ranjani Powers has been practicing yoga ever since she could move…one could say her samskaras run deep.
One of Ranjani’s earliest memories is stretching and contorting herself into what she calls “juicy” postures (which, at that time, she thought she invented) but she later (to her chagrin) found out that they were in fact traditional yoga asanas (another memory is retreating to a dark and quiet corner of her parents’ house to practice likhita japa).
In the summer of 1998, Ranjani received the blessings and instruction to teach yoga from Sri Swami Satchidananda and has since devoted her entire life to teaching yoga.
Ranjani opened one of the first ever yoga studios in the Dayton area (Down Dog Yoga in Tipp City, Ohio in 1999), as well as the largest yoga studio in Dayton, perhaps even Ohio (Sakti Yoga in Old North Dayton, Ohio in 2005), so you could say she has been around the yoga block a couple of times. Regarded by many to be the teacher of yoga teachers, Ranjani Powers was the first E-RYT 500 in the area, and the first to offer a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher’s training in Dayton, Ohio. Many of her students are now established yoga teachers in Dayton and around the country.
True to her name, Ranjani Powers loves dishing out powerful classes that leave students stretched, sweaty, and sublimely empowered! Her classes will work your body, and expand your mind – she will challenge you physically and mentally, then allow your spirit to soar blissfully beyond in one of her legendary relaxation sessions.
11:30am Ashtanga Yoga with Ross Stambaugh
Ross enjoys sharing the tradition of Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, and the KPJAYI. The asana (postures), is one thing, but sharing and taking part in the ongoing lineage, philosophy, myths, and stories add so much more to it all.
The Power of Authenticity
Ross makes annual trips to Mysore, India to practice at The K.P. J. Ashtanga Yoga Institute, (the location where Ashtanga was started) and study yoga philosophy with Dr. Jayashree and Professor Narasimha. These trips last months and allow him to ground himself as well as submerse himself in yoga and focus on his practice.
Yoga has the great ability to allow the practitioners to show their best side when presented with challenges.
Flow Class at 4:14pm with Heather Feather
Feather” was Heather’s nickname growing up and it suits her well.
Feathers inspire and that is just what Heather aspires to do for YOU!
Heather’s journey in health began after her father died from a rare neurological disease called Multiple Systems Atrophe in 1999. In the first month of her Freshman year at Lake Forest College her entire world shifted. A significant transformation began when Heather started practicing yoga and running to cope with the loss. Heather was on a destructive path during her teenage years and she chose to move in the direction of health which brought forth true healing and growth.
She has not turned back and wishes to bring the healing and transformational powers of a healthy lifestyle with a focus on yoga, exercise and healthy eating.
Heather teaches in a dynamic and firm, yet non-threatening way. She always brings something new to the table whether that be in a class atmosphere, bootcamp, private training/yoga or retreats. She brings a multifaceted approach to health & wellness with her in-depth knowledge of the yoga practice, exercise and diet. Heather is strongly intuitive and steps deeply into the present moment with you to give the best service possible. She almost always combines exercise and yoga in her offerings and sometimes even a healthy, delicious treat!
Heather is an ACE certified Personal Trainer, 500 hour trained Yoga Instructor, and Chef. She also has a professional certification in the Culinary Arts, an Associates degree in Pastry Arts and a certificate in dietetics. Additionally, Heather is a certified Spin Instructor, an Ironman finisher, marathon and ultramarathon runner, long-distance swimmer and triathlete.
You can also enjoy an afternoon session at 4:15pm hearing tales from Tom Helbig‘s Journey to Happiness. Tom’s focus on adventure, knowing his authentic self, simplicity, building community and loving people has led to a more profound passion for life. Yoga and meditation has provided an incredible balance to his life of adventure. Three days after Urban Yoga Movement last year, Tom started his cycle across America from San Diego, CA to Key West, Florida to support Special Olympics. You just might hear a story or two from that journey filled with happiness.
Tom is the co-producer of Urban Yoga Movement and owner of a playful company called Tomfoolery Outdoors. Learn more about his lifestyle here.
GO W/ THE FLOW will present the closing session at UYM this year!
