Teachers:

Saun is a certified Tai Chi and Chi Kung instructor and have been teaching for over 10 years. Sher loves to share her knowledge of this calming and centering practice. Her goal is to show people how to access their body’s own natural healing abilities by practicing Tai Chi and Chi Kung. Working with others and helping them to feel better is incredibly rewarding and the most natural thing in the world for Saun to do.

Theresa Scovill is the owner/coordinator of the Healing Arts Center. She has been teaching yoga for four years and enjoys working with beginners, seniors and early intermediate students. Her style of yoga evolves from Vinyasa Flow and is informed by her ongoing meditation practice and study of Eastern Psychology. Theresa is also a certified Expressive Arts Facilitator and offers periodic self-growth and healing workshops based on the work of Natalie Rogers.

Robin Sutherland has been a meditator in the tradition of Shambhala Buddhism for the past 25 years. She has been a student of Chogyam Trungpa, the founder of Shambhala and author of “Meditation in Action” and “Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior.” Robin has also received teachings from his son, the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, and Pema Chodron (The Wisdom of No Escape, and many other books.) Robin is a certified Meditation Instructor and Director of Shambhala Training courses.

Robin has also studied and taught “Ikebana,” or Japanese Flower Arranging for more than 15 years. Her beautiful works of art may be seen at the Healing Arts Center. These arrangements change weekly as part of our meditation group. Robin offers affordable Ikebana workshops 3-4 times per year.

Risa teaches our Hot Yoga class. She has been practicing for five years and teaching for the Healing Arts Center for two years. In this class, students always practice the same set. This allows each person to work with what their body has to offer each day. Even though our set of postures stays the same, our bodies feel different each day. This awareness can help strengthen our body-mind connection and teaches us acceptance of ourselves and others around us.
