Raja Yoga: For Higher Self Awareness with Kayla Gomez

Raja yoga or “Royal” yoga is the Yoga of self-realization or union with the “true self”. Raja Yoga develops a higher self awareness through inward centered practices that combine traditional Hatha Yoga poses with meditation and gentle pranayama. These practices direct the flow of energy or “prana” inwards for deep relaxation, inner peace and connection to the higher self!

About the instructor: Kayla Gomez

Kayla Gomez began practicing Yoga in Arizona nearly 10 years ago. Naturally curious, her love began to expand once she started studying beyond the physical postures. She says “Yoga began to give me a kind of internal calmness I had never experienced before. In addition, it gave me a new way of approaching the world with less judgment and more compassion.” After moving to Washington she became inspired to teach but wanted to find a school that embodied the traditional teachings of Yoga that she loves and a place for body mind and spirit to come together. She believes Ananda Yoga is that place and she became certified in 2017. She is also a Psychiatric Registered Nurse and as part of her effort to give back, she enjoys offering Yoga classes to her patients at work. Her favorite thing about teaching Yoga is being able to hold a safe space for her students to have the experience that is right for them. Attend Kayla’s class at East West Bookshop in Seattle on Monday evening from 6-7:20 pm starting in September.
