About Sally Clinton
 
Sally Clinton began her journey with yoga and the yogic lifestyle as a teenager over 25 years ago as she began to explore metaphysics, spirituality and conscious living that grew out of a deep reverence for Life.  Her yoga classes provide a fluid, meditative, heart-centered practice that offers students an embodied experience of yoga, balanced with detailed alignment principles, spiritual teachings, and the practical application of yoga to everyday life.  Having worked with people of all ages and various physical abilities for over a decade, Sally provides a safe environment in which to meet both total beginners and experienced students.  She completed the Basic and Professional Yoga trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health and has studied with many internationally recognized teachers from the Iyengar, Anusara, Ashtanga & Kripalu traditions.  She spent 5 months in India pursuing studies of the Ashtanga Primary Series with Sri Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, and attended classes at the Ramamani Memorial Iyengar Institute in Pune, India while studying Ayurveda.

As a lifelong student, Sally has maintained her ongoing studies throughout the years.  She is a Certified Breathwork Facilitator and a Certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant and Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist through the Kripalu School of Ayurveda studying with teachers such as Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Sarita Shrestha, Dr. Robert Svoboda, Dr. John Douillard and Dr. Rosy Mann.  She has completed Ayurvedic Yoga Bodywork training through Lotus Palm School of Montreal, Canada and Marma Therapy at the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico.  In 2006 she completed a Clinical Ayurvedic Studies program in Pune, India with world-renowned Ayurvedic physician, Dr. Vasant Lad through the wonderful support of her friends and local community.  Through this support and through a commitment to Karma Yoga (selfless service), she created The Community Scholarship Program to help make Yoga & Ayurveda available to all people regardless of financial means.

Sally has shared her love of Yoga, Ayurveda and Breath with others through teaching on the Blue Hill peninsula and surrounding communities since 1997.  She works with clients through her practice, the Art of Living Well, to support each individual in their unique journey of self-awareness, health, healing, and celebration of this amazing miracle of Life.  Sally happily lives with her wonderful husband, Gene, their new little boy-dog, Moses, sweet spirit-dog, Paix, and woodland animal friends in Brooksville, Maine.



Does yoga make you strong or what?
Okay, well, it really wasn't all that easy moving that boulder, but after a few yoga stretches and some pranayama (breathing practices) I felt right up to the task.  Yoga helps give you the confidence to tackle anything!  But, to answer your question, yes! yoga is great for strength and flexiblity...and...
it is something that is SO much more.
Why not drop in for a class and try it out for yourself?
