Your Retreat Hosts:
Ara: Ara lives in Spokane Washington with her three boys and partner Jon Swanstrom. She is the proud owner of Shala Living. In addition to weekly classes, she leads teacher trainings, yoga immersions and the occasional festival workshop. In Ara’s classes, expect intuitively themed weekly sequences, to sing mantra, to sweat, to be safely physically challenged, to smile, to find your natural rhythm, to connect deeply with your breath, and to relax into a sound bath savasana with Alchemy Crystal Bowls and the gong.
Jon: Jon's first glimpse into the world of yoga was as a young boy in the early 1970's, with his Mom, watching and practicing to "Lilias, Yoga and You" on PBS. His fascination was rekindled when he began practicing hot yoga in 2010 (with Ara as one of his teachers). Since then, Jon has two teacher trainings under his belt. Kundalini Flow and Hot 26&2 (Bikram / Ghosh yoga). Jon is co-owner of Shala Living Yoga with his partner and love, Ara Lyman. Aside from yoga, Jon is a musician, artist, video creator / editor and has been in the vintage clothing and antique business since 1990. He has two amazing adult children and two grandsons. "Breathe in, breathe out. Sat Nam."
