With great excitement and pleasure, I am writing to announce the return of former Bay Area senior instructor, Leigh Evans. Many of you remember her during her tenure as a teacher at Bernal Yoga. I was fortunate to meet Leigh after she left the Bay Area and moved to New York City. Her extensive knowledge of the body, and the history and philosophy of yoga inspired me to delve deeper into my personal practice—to explore the wide-ranging aspects of yoga that just can’t be covered in a regular class format. Always encouraging and vibrant, Leigh enables her students to grow their awareness and transfer positive changes made on the yoga mat to life at large. So when it came time for my big change, leaving New York City for San Francisco, Leigh told me that I should visit Bernal Yoga, that it was a very special place. And so I came to this studio … and so I stayed.
Leigh Evans returns to Bernal Yoga the last weekend in July. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to attend one of her workshop classes. Workshop topics include Yoga Sutras and Chanting, Ayurveda, Inversions, and Shakti Prana. And, if you want to attend all the workshops, you can sign up for the full weekend immersion: Shakti Shala Yoga (7/30-7/31).

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend of exploration and growth. I’m going to be there, and I hope you will, too.
