Daniella Cotreau is the founder of Body Temple Yoga. She teaches Anusara-Inspired Yoga with great joy, honor and a deep reverence for her teachers who have impacted her in such a profound and positive way. Her classes are heart-opening, uplifting, healing and filled with precision and playfulness. She is a gifted and inspiring teacher of yoga and has a unique gift in bridging the practice of yoga to worldly life using metaphorical yet clear analogies between the two, giving deeper meaning to why we practice. Dancer, yogini, Fire Dancer, performance artist, massage therapist and health enthusiast she delights in offering her gift of teaching yoga with the collaborative artistry of live musicians.

Join Daniella and Matt as they take you on a beautiful and mystical journey into the heart of yoga and sound in nature. We will begin with an Anusara-Inspired Yoga practice at Shakti Yoga Shala at Big Basin Vineyards in Boulder Creek lead by Daniella Cotreau and accompanied by the artful and talented Matt Venuti playing his Hang and Tibetan Bowls. Matt Venuti is a "sculptor of sound" and will be bringing ecstatic and mystical beauty to class playing his Pan Art Hangs; rare instruments that reflect nature and the Spirit of Yoga. Then we will break for lunch and enjoy an extended hike in the middle of the day in the gorgeous mountains and hills of Big Basin. Matt will also accompany us on this venture. We will stop in sacred spots along the way, circle up and Daniella will guide you through meditations while Matt serenades and supports us through his music all the while taking in the beauty and serenity of the nature around us. In the later part of the afternoon we will return to Shaki Yoga Shala for a soothing Restorative Yoga class that includes poetry reading, candlelight and hands on massage and more music of the Hang.

Take a day out of time and come join us!
