UNION/YOGA is a premiere yoga studio in the Grand Traverse region, with the studio located in historic Lake Leelanau.UNION/YOGA is open year-round, offering classes and workshops in all areas of the science and art of Yoga. UNION/YOGA teachers synthesize a keen awareness of postural alignment, pranayama, and focus of the mind on the events of the moment. They bring an understanding of the seriousness of a meditative yoga practice, and the humor to recognize that life is full of cracks, to let the light in. UNION/YOGA classes are geared for specific needs and levels of ability and interest, from ashtanga vinyasa to gentle cardiac rehabilitation, backcare, women's class and classic yoga in levels 1-3. Workshops center on specific issues of yoga and metaphysics- postures to integrate and enhance the whole-person body/mind experience. Private sessions are available by appointment. As director of UNION/YOGA, LLC, SANDRA CARDEN brings 30 years of yoga study to her teaching. Her style combines a solid foundation in Iyengar-influenced yoga from 1974 to the mid-nineties. She has also been greatly influenced by the flowing styles of Kripalu teachers, and Kali Ray and Ashtanga Vinyasa through Beryl and Tom Berch and David Swenson. She also credits Joel Kramer, Judith Lasater, Jean Couch, Sarah Powers, Paul Griley and Rama Berch of Master Yoga Academy, La Jolla, CA, from which Sandra holds her certification. Sandra is a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, and credits Michael Lee, director, Kaumudi Karen Hasskarl and the other PRYT staff for bringing her to a gestault through which she could further explore her interest in the body/mind interweavings and the expression of Self through the corporeal form.
