Pam Dow

Pam began practicing Yoga 7 years ago when a friend told her she “needed to do something for herself”  Her own transformation and her love for Yoga has led to her receiving her 200hr RASAMAYA Teacher Certification.   Pam’s class is good for the beginner to Yoga as well as offering an alternative style to the experienced practioner. RASAMAYA™ YOGA was created by Dover Yoga and Pilates studio co-owner and founder Carrie Tyler.  Rasamaya translates as “fluid” and is a method of movement that focuses on weaving one of the nine major rasas, or major emotions that sustain our life, through an entire flowing class. Rasamaya yoga classes always begin with intention setting and yogic philosophy and may weave discussion, chanting, breath work and meditation into movement flows that are grounded in the chakra system (or subtle energetic system). The classes are designed to be light hearted, students often remark that these often laughter filled classes are complete in nature and leave the body expanded and the mind grounded.

Kendra

Kendra has always had a passion for teaching and sharing w/ others. She graduated from the University of Rhode Island w/ a degree in elementary education.Over time her interests turned toward health and fitness. She began to teach fitness classes at the local YMCA, and it was here that yoga became a very interesting and attractive way of approaching fitness. She decided to pursue her interest by enrolling a Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and receiving formal training to be a yoga instructor. Kendra has been practicing as well as teaching yoga the past 9 years. During these years she has furthered her education by attending various workshops and trainings. Kripalu yoga concentrates on the awakening of prana (the life force), through classic asanas (postures), breathing (pranayama), meditation and relaxation techniques. Kripalu style yoga is compatible w/ all other styles and traditions of yoga. Kendra has developed her own energetic, yet gentle flow of yoga which she makes accessible to both yoga novices as well as the more practiced individuals.
