A little wisdom

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Nelson Mandela, 1994

Audra Grady, RYT, MS

Audra became aware of yoga through a pilates class in college while studying art and sociology and has continued to explore the integration of yoga in her life. Over the past three years she has devoted herself to regular and frequent practice in a variety of styles including Bikram, Baptiste, Hatha, Anusara, and Advanced Kripalu. In the summer of 2011 she completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training at Discovery Yoga in St. Augustine, FL with Deva Parnell. She is continuing her training toward a 500 hour certification. Yoga has helped her to overcome depression, and anxiety, and allowed her to discontinue use of medication for these issues. She hopes to bring yoga to her students so that they may create their own foundation and bring mindfulness and wellness into their daily lives.

Audra has a Master of Science in Organizational Management and works in higher education developing experiential and community based learning environments. In addition to group classes she is available for private, small group, and basic yoga training sessions.
