(Scottsdale, AZ) Yoga instructors Mally Paquette, Wanda Letourneau, and Shehnaz (Betti) Ahmed join Harumi Yoga+ in North Scottsdale. Kundalini and Ashtanga classes are available on Wednesday, February 5^th from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

Kundalini is a spiritual practice, which moves the energy through the body and brings the unfoldment of awareness. Kundalni yoga is available for any level practitioner. The combination of breath, asana, mudras and mantra allow a deep experience, which opens the nadir, cleanses and detoxifies the entire body, delivering a balance to allow consciousness to blossom.

Ashtanga is a traditional yoga practice for beginners and beyond. It is a “moving mediation”. The partnership of the breath with the asana is the focus. This practice brings breath/prana into all parts of the body, delivering a renewal for the physical, mental and spiritual components of our lives. All levels can benefit from this awareness, “Come be the witness!”

Mally Paquette has been involved with fitness for over 35 years. Her career began as a USPTA tennis professional and then progressed into marathons and fitness training. Returning to an original passion of yoga, Mally re-certified her yoga expanding into Hatha, Ashtanga and Kundalini. She recently received her 500-hour Certificate from 7 Centers with a Yoga therapy emphasis. She resides in Sedona, Arizona with her husband Brien and their many dogs. She is passionate and knowledgeable on many levels of the ancient indigenous paths to health having visited and been taught by the Kogi in South America. She is an excellent motivator who genuinely cares about each individual.

Shehnaz (Betti) Ahmed - NIA instructor

Betti Ahmed, a classical pianist and ballet/jazz dancer, first fell in love with the Nia Technique while in college. After graduating from college, she followed her passion to get certified as a Nia instructor in Los Angeles and immediately started teaching in the L.A. area. When she moved to Arizona in 2010, she furthered her education with Nia co-founder, Debbie Rosas, and prominent Nia Trainer, Helen Terry in Portland. Betti is also a Licensed Massage Therapist, having studied at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, which she believes is a great complement to her teaching. "For me, Nia is freedom - I am free to be uninhibited, playful, strong, vulnerable... you name it. Nia is not only a great workout, but it has the ability to transform one's life. I love that, and I love sharing it with people and building a community with those who are open to it” Betti said.

Nia classes will be on Monday at 4:30 - 5:30pm and Saturday at 8am to 9am
