Tarini Bauliya, a Lummi Island resident, spent two years with debilitating back pain. Having tried PT and listened to doctors whose solution were far harsher, she turned to her love of yoga for help. She got on her mat, and applied common sense, using only those postures that gave her relief and eliminated all that caused her more pain. No pain...no pain was her motto! Slowly, with consistency of practice, this common sense yoga gave her mobility and with that the determination to deepen her understanding of yoga's rich history of wellbeing. She became a certified instructor through Integrative Yoga Therapy. “IYT is not a yoga of poses for a Cirque du Soleil acrobat, but a process of empowering an individual to progress toward their optimum health through applying common sense—intrinsic wisdom—and self-study in the laboratory of our own body, which is at the heart of the yoga tradition.” 

In this class Tarini will help you identify misaligned postural habits, learn about your fascia, and focus on simple postures that you can do as you are now, pain or no pain, at home, or in your car on the ferry, so you discover for yourself what therapeutic effects yoga may have in in store for your body.
