Yoga Instructor

Dan Melton, M.Div., RYT

While searching for ways to occupy the mind during exercise, Dan Melton joined a local
yoga class. The experience drew him in completely; he took over 100 classes in his first
year of practice, resulting in rapid weight loss, increased muscle tone, and (more
importantly) a deeper sense of peace and wholeness in life.

A natural teacher – and an eternal student – Dan’s practice evolved organically through
Shiva Rea’s Affiliate Teacher Training Program at Ananda Shala. His classes explore the
physical edge even while calming the mind and encouraging a deeper sense of self. Dan is registered with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher.

Yoga Instructor

Alex fell in love with the mind/body aspect of yoga while completing her bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and Spanish minor at the University of Maryland. While at the University, she began teaching Group Exercise classes. Upon graduation, she spent two months traveling to 33 cities in the US on an promotional tour as part of an internship. She then left for Spain to teach English for a year. After returning from an incredible experience which included extensive travel in Europe and time for personal reflection, Alex became determined to continue teaching and living and promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle. She has since received her AFAA Group Exercise Certification and completed her 200 hour RYT at Ananda Shala. Alex plans on continuing her yoga studies in Shiva Rea’s Prana Flow style. 

Alex currently works for Samudra Yogadventures and is a Personal Trainer for KBK Fitness in Georgetown, D.C.

March 2010 Newsletter
Soon to Be Spring Greetings!

We have weathered the storm(s) and have literally dug ourselves out from under the snow. Spring is in our reach. Even if the snow decides to continue to trickle in - Spring is only a few weeks away. It’s time now to get back in the flow !
With the energy of the Olympic games coming to a close perhaps we can take inspiration from the tremendous atheletes who persevere no matter what the obstacle. We all know that a huge part of what helps bring us to greatness is our mental capacity to never give up. Stay connected to your “resolution” or commitment that you have made for yourself this year. We all have set backs and times that challenge our ability to stay dedicated to our personal goals – it’s what we do with these set backs that matters. See below for some March inspiration from us to help us all stay connected as we make this transition through the seasons.

Namaste,
The Tribe at Ananda Shala

Karma Yoga
Our hearts to out to the victims of the earthquake in Chile.
In February we were able to raise $500 for the Haiti earthquake and matched over another $500 to donate a total of $1008 to Doctors Without Borders. Thank you to those who participated and donated with either heart or wallet. We know that our donations are going to a good cause. If you wish to make any further donations to Doctors Without Borders for either Haiti or Chile – we are able to take that donation at any time and pass it on.

“WILD GEESE”
by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
