Keith Borden
Keith Borden is consistently turned on by the stillness within movement, the silence hidden in sound, and the esoteric in the everyday. I love to practice yoga, and sharing this practice that I love for the last decade has been a terrific gift. I'm very lucky. I have great teachers in my life – Jasmine Tarkeshi, Dana Flynn, David Robson, David Gellineau, Manorama, and Rabbi Joseph Gellberman – and being a student is one of the best parts of the yoga practice. The classes I offer are energetic and balanced, and are infused with playfulness and creativity. I strive to live, breathe, and offer the devotion-rich yoga that comes out of my daily home practice. I'm a singer, kirtan wallah, a bhakti yogi, and an interfaith minister. I always chant with my classes, and occasionally I play and sing during savasana. I love to experiment in my practice, and years of Muay Thai, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong have taught me that all movement is healing and complementary to my sadhana. My goal is to hold a space that fosters inner quiet, true strength, and a healthy, joyous spirit where students can re-unite with and REJOICE in their true Self.
Keith Borden instructs the following:
- FITCHBURG | GROUND | YOGA RX
- FITCHBURG | FLOW | REJUVENATE
- MADISON | FLOW | RADIATE
GROUND | YOGA Rx is a synthesis of healing modalities – gentle movement, breath practices, sound, guided meditation, and deep relaxation. This class creates a restorative experience to facilitate overall health and well-being. For all whose physical, mental or emotional well-being needs an extra measure of healing. Also appropriate for those with a limited range of motion due to injury or other health condition.
FLOW | REJUVENATE is a balanced approach of effort and ease. It incorporates more challenging postures, sometimes including optional inversions and arm balances, and moves at a more dynamic tempo to build strength and grace. For students who have a regular practice and want to move at a more rejuvenating and rhythmic pace. The element of WATER is fluid and nourishing. Our FLOW Yoga Classes will help you tap into your fluid nature so you can embrace change in your life.
**All MADISON classes take place at our location in the Garver Feed Mill (3241 Garver Green, Madison) - NOT at E. Cheryl Pkwy**
FLOW | RADIATE is 90 minutes in length. This affords the opportunity to incorporate more aspects of the art and science of yoga into the class. It is not a class only for advanced students, although some experience and familiarity is best. It is for the student who wants to explore and be immersed in a fuller practice that includes: pranayama (breath work), dharma talk (yoga philosophy), mudras (energetic hand seals), chanting (the yoga of sound), meditation and/or nidra (yoga of sleep).
The element of FIRE is transformative. If you are feeling unmotivated, or want to reconnect with your sense of purpose, strength and direction, head to a RADIATE class.
