Yoga Gems Book

Filled with snippets of wisdom and interesting quotes from ancient and modern yoga masters, Yoga Gems also touches on the process of inner growth, the value of silence, how to infuse life with joy, universal kinship, overcoming suffering and grief, and bringing out the best that is inside us all.

It is a great book to take as a travel companion or leave by the bed for a few beautiful thoughts before sleep.

Featured Teacher: Rebecca Kray

What do you love about teaching yoga?

I love to connect us individually and together as a group, and to share a peaceful, grounding space for us to explore our bodies, release our minds and discover the joy within ourselves.

What attracted you to yoga?

Originally I was attracted to the physical aspects of the practice but the more I explored my practice, the more I was inspired by the mental and spiritual benefits.

How long have you been practicing yoga?

I've been practicing for over 8 years. I come from a long background of dance and have always connected to feeling free in my body through movement.

What teacher has had the biggest impact on your practice?

So many teachers have inspired me along the way but I feel most fortunate to realize the benefits of dedicating to my own practice.

How would you describe your classes?

My classes are free spirited, incorporating lots of movement to help us feel more connected to our bodies. I encourage my students to move, let go, breathe and have fun... Life is an amazing journey, it is imperative to nourish yourself along the way!

Before you became a yoga teacher, what did you do?

I was a theatre performer singing, dancing and acting my heart away.

Describe your ideal class (as a teacher).

An ideal class is where I can guide my students back to their center through focusing on their breath. Once that connection is made, I like to lead them through an active, fun class, riding the wave of the breath.

Aside from yoga, what other hobbies or interests do you have?

I love to be outside soaking in the fresh air. I snowboard in the winter and enjoy camping, paddling and hiking in the summer.  Take me to the outdoors and I’m home, add an adventure onto that and I'm smiling!
