Raven’s Wing Yoga was birthed June of 2004 as a place of wholistic intention and dedication to Yoga or Union. I continue to steep in the lessons my Native Granny, Carol Reid (Nooksack) imparted to me, wisdom is to be shared and is intended to help us grow and evolve.
Sally began practicing yoga in the early 90’s, which led to a work study program at Kripalu in 1999-2000 where the practice and lifestyle changed her life for the better. Meeting her longtime teacher Yoganand Michael Carroll, Sally continued to study, practice and eventually teach. “Yoga continues to nourish a deep longing for me, connection, spiritual practice, and understanding of the one within the whole. Through yoga I continue to explore the layers that create separation within and throughout. I’m interested in how our personal practice can translate and create positive needed change in our world. Shining light on difficult and uncomfortable realities is part of healing the whole. When we get quiet, is an opportunity to get real.”
The inner teachings of yoga have grown Sally’s life into how to relate and move about this world with more compassion and non judging awareness . Her classes are held in a quiet yet powerful way allowing her students to feel safe to explore their own edge while connecting with the intuitive nature within. She weaves many styles in her delivery but will intimately flow from her Kripalu and Pranakriya roots.
