Yoga Narada®
Developed by Hilary Cartwright, Yoga Narada® provides a way to achieve flexibility in the body while maintaining coordinated control to pass smoothly from one shape to another. Unlike a traditional yoga class, positions are not held but repeated in a fluid undulation that gently unravels the knots both mental and physical, giving the body a sense of comfort in its movement. Each day is taken for its own individual merits, so no two classes are identical. There is a common thread, but, as in nature, there are many ways to achieve the same end. Although initially a highly specialized form of yoga for dancers, the principles of alignment found in
Yoga Narada® make it a practice not only appropriate but also highly accessible for anyone!

When I was doing my research to use a different name for the Yoga for Dancers to make it more approachable and less intimidating for the opera singers and conductors that I was working with in Italy, Narada, a Vedic sage, struck a chord with me not only because of his musical talents (an important part of my life and training), but also because of his mischievous humor -- a huge part of how I approach both my work and life as well!
At this same time, Hilary was also looking to change the name of the yoga completely. When I presented the information to her, she immediately fell in love with the idea. We both agreed that Narada's beliefs were just what the work we teach is all about.
