Rachel Dawn Lowe
By taking what we learn during our sadhana (practice) to other aspects of our lives, we provide a method and a metaphor to discover and create the many ways of letting 'balance' unfold in our lives simply through the practice of yoga. Rai draws from a Vinyasa style of yoga incorporating free form movement with breath while integrating yoga philosophy. Trainings with Kathleen Hunt, Shiva Rea, Anne Phyfe Palmer and Aadil Palkhivala have guided her teaching. A trip to the Himalayan mountains in Northern India and the Tibetan culture in exile, inspires her to continue honoring and integrating the soul of yoga – union of ourSelves in all cultures and traditions. "Through her Yoga teaching, Rai creates an environment where the physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of our being increase. I highly recommend her classes to anyone wishing to explore any level of Yoga.” Scott Rumage, Practicing Yoga since 1980

Marcie Spahi
Marcie prefers a vinyasa style practice in which there is flow in motion. Grace and fluency in movement are a valued framework in her yoga training. Using specialized breathing techniques (pranayama) to find a meditative frame of mind and keep the body free of injury is a key component. The challenge is to try to help students find the deep relaxation, concentration and spiritual connection that a yoga practice can offer. Moreover, that students internalize their yoga practice and make it their own, with or without a regular class experience. Marcie teaches private yoga sessions and likes to help people get started and find the style they like and then help them move in that direction. She has taught group vinyasa yoga as well as healthy back class on Mercer Island. She currently teaches a group of students at Mercer Island high school. Marcie also teaches Hula Hoop Dance at the Mercer Island Community Center. Please contact Marcie at 206-232-3230
