Yin Yoga is practiced entirely on the floor and uniquely serves joints,
multiple layers of connective tissues and fascia. This practice is
characterized by its slow, meditative pace utilizing muscularly relaxed
postures that are held for longer periods of time. The approach allows
for the muscular body to soften in order to modestly stimulate
ligaments, fascia, and joint capsules. Yin Yoga's simple repertoire is
unique for the health of the low back, spine, hips, sacrum, and
knees. The intentional and systematic activation of the connective
tissues and fascia encourages long-term health, flexibility, mobility,
and pain reduction/relief. Themes of nourishment, insight, wisdom, and
subtle energy pathways are presented throughout the practice to soothe
the nervous system thus naturally drawing the mind inward into a calm,
relaxed, and meditative state.
This class comes to us from Roots & River Yoga in Brunswick, MD. Due to that, it is not recorded for later use for Lighthouse students - please plan to come live.
Many thanks to Machelle for sharing her studio with us!
Machelle Lee
Machelle has 30 years of experience as a yoga teacher, massage
therapist, childbirth educator, and lecturer. She holds a Masters Degree
in Mythology and Depth Psychology and earned a 300 hour advanced
certification in yoga psychology. Committed to serving students in a

modern scientific research on tissue rehabilitation, traditional
medicines, psychology and sprinkles in rich imagery through poetry. This
approach to the whole person aids one in feeling and understanding the
body-mind connection both somatically and intellectually, facilitating a
creative and grounded approach to self-development.
Rebecca Henry
Owner/Manager/Director of Programming
E-RYT 200, RPYT, YACEP
Rebecca’s journey with yoga and meditation began more than twenty years ago when she took precepts with the Zen Buddhist Society of Compassionate Wisdom, finding that a vigorous yoga practice was the only way to keep her chattering mind quiet on her meditation mat. As those practices expanded into helping her with the stresses of school, and, later, work and family life, she has been exploring the benefits of her practice on and off the mat ever since.
Forever a student, Rebecca brings a beginners mind and an awakened heart to her practice and teaching. Compassion, empathy, humor and joy are at the core of all of her classes. Her focus is on uniting mindful movement with breath while helping people understand of how their own unique body affects their individual practice, in both a traditional hatha as well as a more vinyasa style.
As a mother of two teenagers, she is impassioned to support other
people in their journey into parenthood through the mindfulness and
body-centered practices of yoga and meditation. As birth and postpartum
doula, she emphasizes childbirth education and body awareness in her
pre- and postnatal classes, bringing these practical aspects together
with a warm, nurturing teaching style.
Rebecca completed her 200 hour training with Tara Lemerise at Willow Street Yoga in Takoma Park, MD, pre and post natal yoga teacher training with Debra Flashenburg of the Prenatal Yoga Center of New York City and is certified with Leslie Howard in Pelvic Floor Yoga™. She has also completed training with Tara Lemerise, of Tara Lemerise Yoga, in Restorative Yoga, and has completed a 50 hr Yin Yoga certification with Machelle Lee of Roots and River Yoga.

positivity and radical self-love to her Kundalini & Nidra classes.

foundations of yoga to counter problematic cultural appropriation. She
relishes creating a safe space for all using breathe, color, naad, and
mantras in her classes.
Manju invites you to consider yoga as a tool to recharge, resist and rebel.
Anna Franklin
When she suddenly became a part-time caretaker to a parent and then a
sibling, Anna not only found the strength and courage in yoga to be a
little kinder and a bit more patient, but also found herself
increasingly attracted to the idea of sharing this healing practice with
others. As a teacher, Anna strives to create a warm and welcoming
community with her students while also focusing on the rigor of the
practice to cultivate the rich and universal spirituality that yoga
offers. She brings a sense of humor and deep care to her meditation and
yoga classes. Her approach to teaching, much like her other work as a
Workplace Wellness/Burnout Mitigation Consultant and Community Organizer
(and pet sitter extraordinaire) is embodied by the spirit of Cura
Personalis, or Care for the Whole Person. If you take a class, workshop,
or attend a retreat with Anna, you can expect some time with your
breath, space for reflection, (and maybe some chanting!). Anna completed
her 200 hour Vinyasa yoga teacher training in 2014 at The Studio DC and
her 220 hour Kundalini Yoga TT in 2017 at Lighthouse Yoga Center,
graduated from The Living School at the Center for Action and
Contemplation with Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, in 2019 and is currently a
part of Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation’s Transforming
Community: Leading Contemplative Spiritual Groups and Retreats. She
leads retreats, workshops, and series both in the U.S. and overseas and
is based in Washington, DC and Portugal. Anna is known for her humor and
warmth, depth, and making a variety of practices accessible, welcoming,
meditative, and dare we say: fun! Connect with Anna here on her website
or on social media here.
