Hi! My name is Coleen McGrath. I will be teaching a Vinyasa Flow style class on Sunday mornings 10:30AM-11:45AM at Kodawari Studios.

There are many personality and body types attracted to the practice of yoga. Eating disorders are not the only issue at the forefront of the yoga world but it certainly has a stage. Is it because it’s simply another form of exercise designed at maintaining a certain figure and how can you tell who’s suffering? […]

FAR INFRARED HEATED CLASSES: WHAT MAKES US SO SPECIAL???
At Kodawari we have heated classes that have garnered a lot of attention; mostly because students leave feeling genuinely detoxified but aren’t completely sure what’s happened. This heat is a specific type of heat unlike regular saunas or other heated classes where the heat is simply blowing on you. Let’s break down the fir sauna […]
