Namaspa Power Yoga classes are based on the teachings of Baron Baptiste, author of the best-selling yoga book, Journey Into Power.  Instructor Suzie Harris is Certified Baptiste Teacher, and has trained with Baron and assisted for him at his trainings.  Whether or not you have been exposed to Baron's approach, you are sure to love the transformational power of this approach to fitness and well-being.

The focus of Power Yoga is not on creating perfect poses – in fact everyone should look different in every pose.  The focus is on creating a new, healthier relationship between you and your body, in a safe, fun way, so you can have more energy and vitality in your life, giving you the power to transform in ways you never thought possible!

"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, and had multiple surgeries, chemo, and six weeks of radiation.  All of this was followed by eight years of meds  that are hormone-modifying treatments.  It is now known that these treatments can lead to bone loss.  When I started my cancer odyssey I stood at 5'6".  Eight years later I stood at 5'4"!  Dexa scans showed a decrease in bone density (osteopenia--the thinning of bone mass that can lead to osteoporosis). My oncologist suggested weight bearing exercise, as well as calcium/vitamin D supplements, and drugs to halt bone loss.  I had reactions to the drugs, and sought an alternative.  After starting power yoga with Suzie Harris in the spring of 2007, I was retested by Dexa scan in December of 2007.  The technician noted a 1/2 inch height gain!  The scans showed no further bone loss, and my oncologist said that's as good as a gain, since I didn't lose more bone.  Baptiste power yoga is not easy for me at age 60, but the strength and flexibility that I'm working toward have really improved the quality of my life.  Thank you Suzie!"

"My wife and I celebrated our collective 120th birthday this past year so we weren't  on the younger side of the yoga population when we decided to go for it anyway...my logic was that it would make me more limber, improve my golf turn, allow me to hit the golf ball further, and hence improve my game. During the past year yoga has somewhat improved my "limberness" but what really surprised me...it was not what my golf game really needed. I have always been able to hit the ball reasonably well but consistency was my issue...too many bad shots along with my good shots. Yoga has dramatically improved my ability to focus (call it concentration or in yoga parlance call it being in the "present") on each shot and it has remarkably improved my golf game. The number of solid golf strikes has increased dramatically...and my corresponding handicap is down about 5 strokes as a result of being able to "focus" on each shot.

So my hat is off to Suzie Harris...for putting up with my still fairly non limber body (but better than it was)...being patient with me (not laughing)...and working me hard (but not to the point of any injuries).

I can recommend, without hesitation, that you try Baptiste Power Yoga with Suzie..."

“I have been an avid snowboarder for eight years.  Each season I attempt to find the workout plan that will prepare me.  I’ve done weight training preparation with a focus on snowboarding, mountain biked, bounded, lunged and even one year, I trained for and ran a marathon prior to the season.  And every season I had the same early-season pain in my feet, cramping in my calves and burning in my thighs.

“I’d almost given up on really being “ready” for the season.  Then I saw this mysterious class offered at my gym, “Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga.”  I knew I liked Vinyasa and the Power part sounded nice and so I went for it."

“I started “training” with Suzie about two months prior to the season opener on the mountain. On the first day of the season, I headed to the mountain expecting nothing different that my usual pain etc.  I hadn’t even thought of the class as my preparation for the season (I’d given up on that), just a challenging and uplifting yoga class I enjoyed going to.  That day I took five or six runs, no pain in my feet, no cramping, no burning.  Each day I kept pushing myself harder thinking I’d hit the burn. Just last weekend on my fifth day of the season, I went 15 runs straight. Same story, still no pain! Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga was my mainstay in preparing me for the mountain this season and that it did.  I have never felt so strong and powerful!  Thank you Suzie for making this snowboarding season a great one, already!  See you in class.  Namaste.”
