Rosetta Magdalen has practiced hatha yoga, at varying levels of commitment, since childhood, when she discovered the yoga program "Lilias, Yoga and You" on PBS. Over the years, she explored many styles of yoga, among them Sivananda, Iyengar, Bikram, Vinyasa Flow, Yin and more. Each style offers its own toolkit for eliciting change from within. Yoga offers a comprehensive system of knowledge that provides guidance and illumination in every area of life. Each student is invited to take what he or she needs from it.

Rosetta is registered with Yoga Alliance at the RYT-200 level. She enjoys getting into the trenches in corporate settings, introducing yogic techniques that are true quick (and lasting) fixes for stress, fatigue, and burnout. Participants learn easy techniques that can quickly change the arc of their day in just a minute or two.

Rosetta also teaches students on an individual basis, in keeping with the traditional Indian bases of hatha yoga. This format allows students to work consistently on a specific area within their yoga practice, and allows creation of individual home practice plans for each student.

Here's Rosetta's blog, which is sometimes pithy, always to-the-point, and features lots of unusual tidbits about yoga and spiritual life that you won't find together in one place in other blogs -- so visit!

And, in case you like a little 1970s soul with your sun salutations:

"So what do I do? I do my best, but I give up the fruit of the action. If I don't know what's supposed to happen, it's probably better if I don't get too attached to one particular outcome. I listen to hear what my next step should be. I do my acts in the best way I can. And how it comes out . . . well, that's just how it comes out. Interesting, nothing more. It's a matter of letting go of expectations." -- Ram Dass, Paths to God

"What the mind has long forgotten, the body remembers." -- Lilias Folan
