since. He is also the creator and producer of the Evolve Music and
Yoga Festival (evolvefest.com) which was featured in the January 2010 edition of Yoga Journal.
Dave developed Evolution Flow, a vinyasa-style series of 70
individual asanas with a
focus on movement from the heart and deep breathing from the belly. All
the muscle groups of the body are flexed and toned throughout the
flow. Dave's Flow places an emphasis on meditation and connection with
source energy.
Dave also composes and performs Kirtan Chant.
In addition, Dave is an avid student of Yoga's primary text- The
Bhagavad-Gita and will often share it's insights throughout his class. ______________________________________ Hillary Bispham
Hillary Bispham, Co-Founder and Director of FLOW yoga, is a certified
teacher of Structural Yoga, a tradition that was developed by Mukunda
Stiles and inspired by the lineage of Viniyoga. Structural Yoga is a
system of Classical Yoga that acknowledges differences in body
composition, alignment and levels of flexibility. In Structural Yoga,
emphasis is placed on the need to modify certain poses for certain bodies
In Hillary’s class, conscious breath is linked to movement, and the student
'flows' through sequences of postures designed to open and strengthen all
systems of the body, mind, and spirit, while creating internal heat that
serves to detoxify and invigorate the entire being.
Hillary is inspired by the philosophy that yoga should be accessible and
enjoyable for everyone. Her teaching style reflects her belief in the
transformative healing power of a safe and balanced yoga practice. With
calm and clear instruction, Hillary guides students towards the practice that
is best suited for their needs, while also continually providing (and
encouraging) new challenges so that students may begin to nurture their
highest potential, on and off the mat!
In addition, Hillary is trained in Thai yoga bodywork with the internationally
renowned Lotus Palm school. This deeply therapeutic ancient art is like a
meditative dance in which the recipient is guided through a series of
restorative, passive yoga postures while acupressure technique is applied
to the energy channels (sen lines) of the body.The experience is one of
total, blissful relaxation integrating body, mind, and spirit. _________________________________________________________________________ Phil DiLavore  Phil

“What I love about Yoga is that it’s
an entire body, mind, heart and soul experience. It’s the art and
science of life, it never gets old, each time you come to your practice
it’s a new experience and the journey is never over. It’s incredible
that these ancient practices are so vital and alive today.”
What I most love about teaching
Yoga is the community that is created connecting with students, students
connecting with each other, and all of us connecting more deeply with
ourselves. Each class I view as Satsang, a gathering of people
in search of Truth. This is very powerful, and gives life an essential
and very profound purpose.
It is my strong belief, at this pivotal
time in history, that the Earth and all of the beings on the Earth
need all of us to be practicing Yoga.” Sunday September 6, 10-10:45am
Begin to explore the wonders
of Kirtan! Call and response chanting, with Mantras that heal the body
and soothe the mind.
We’ll open our bodies to
free the natural breath,
And then we’ll dive in to
the wonderous sounds of Sanskrit chants that awaken the subtle energy
channels in the body. A beautiful way to begin the day!
