Sunday mornings are beautiful at Paonia Yoga & Movement Center☀️ El, pictured here, anchors our Sunday AM classes, and Monday classes! She has a passion for blooming things–a palm frond unfurling, a book fanning open, flowers and fruits maturing — that sensational expression and forgoing of bounds. As a power yoga teacher, El has spent the past 12 years exploring the effort and ease of blooming things through breath and movement. She leads a balanced practice that encourages stillness, develops strength, and invites grace to the mat.
Her formal training and teaching journey began at Omaha Power Yoga with teacher Jeff Beaudoin, and continued with Rudy Mettia and Bryan Kest of Santa Monica Power Yoga. El has also trained in Yin, Hatha, Anusara, and Prenatal Yoga with teachers Carole Westerman, Christina Sell, and Gina Caputo. ✨Join El for a class on Sundays:
10:30-11:45am Align & Flow Yoga. Noon-1pm Recovery Dharma meeting & led meditation (donation-based offering). ✨And on Mondays:
8:30-9:30am Heated Morning Flow. 5:30-6:30pm Slow Flow Yoga. Drop-ins welcome, at our new larger studio location at 211 Grand, Suite 104, directly across from Paonia Town Hall.
