Hatha Basics

Trainer: Valeriya Klenkova, Tami Marano Level: ,

This yoga class will focus on core asanas (postures) along with breath work (pranayama) and meditation (dhayana).  This class will help build strength and flexibility, providing an inward focus for the student.  Proper alignment will be emphasized.  Students will enter most standing poses from either mountain pose (tadasana) or a wide legged stance.

Hatha yoga is an overarching term that includes all of the physical practice of yoga.  Not specifically vinyasa in nature, this class will encourage students to take time to set up their poses and to stay present in the practice by connected to breath and body.  This would not be considered an “easy” practice but is a good choice for beginners or intermediate practitioners alike.

I was Born and Raised in Moscow, Russia. Moved To Unites States of America after Graduating From Law Academy with the Bachelor Degree in Constitutional Law of Russian Federation. Leaving behind all I had, all I earned, was working hard for, was so in love with; I started my Journey in a Land of unlimited possibilities and multiple choices...loosing ,finding and collecting myself all over again. Ended up in the Keys in 2016 and began practicing Yoga at Key Largo Studio with the help of owner of Mrs. Mac's Kitchen Angela Wittke, for whom I'm unconditionally grateful for. Yoga has always been a process of diving deep into already known but forgotten. It is homecoming experience. It is silent revolution. It is being comfortable with being uncomfortable. It is calmness in a pick of the storm and It is bright lightening in the middle of sunny summer day. I recently graduated from Yoga Teacher Training at Key Largo Yoga in April 2022 and I'm a dedicated Vinyasa Yoga practitioner. One of my loves and inspiration for every day practice is rescued pet squirrel I care for. I currently teach Hatha Basics and proud to share and express the union in service to all with honor, love and compassion. Yoga is what our Humanity needs the most nowadays. If You want to Self transform, Self discover, experiment; If You want to get better and let go of something that does not serve you any longer and adapt to life's stressors with peace, ease and grace in your heart - JOIN ME ON A MAT. Reflect and express, learn and be your own teacher, shine through in the world. Impossible is possible.

I have always had a sense of adventure, a wanderlust for travel and food and a passion to help people heal. Originally from Pennsylvania, I moved to California in 1986 as a new Registered Nurse and met my Marine husband in San Diego. As a military spouse, I experienced the highs and lows of life. We lived in Germany and Italy and travelled extensively through Europe and the Mediterranean from the Caucuses to Scandinavia. During the peak war years after 9/11, I experienced firsthand the personal horrors of war in advocating for proper treatment of our wounded Marines, all while raising a family with my husband gone. After many years as an RN having worked in trauma/ER combined with the stresses of wartime deployments and the tragic loss of my brother, I was introduced to yoga by my daughter as a way of healing. At first, I wasn’t certain I could practice yoga. I discovered the balance, peace, calm and clarity I experienced in practicing yoga was just what I needed. Landing in Key Largo a year ago I began to practice regularly at Key Largo Yoga and found a community of amazing people and wanted to learn more. Although relatively new to yoga but with the encouragement of family, friends and Kathy Shirley I took the step to become a yoga teacher.
