Kripalu Adult Yoga & Meditation Classes at Hearts to Heaven
How would you like to embark upon an inward journey of personal transformation through the
ancient healing arts of Yoga and Meditation? Perhaps you are longing to experience the Sacred in
your hectic daily life, nurturing all aspects of your Being - body, mind and Spirit? Yoga is a superb
form of physical exercise with a spiritual dimension to it, having evolved out of India over 6,000
years ago (with its earliest origins very possibly rooted in the soil of ancient Egypt, as depicted on
the walls of some of the pharaohs’ tombs). Furthermore, my Meditation classes feature guided
meditations from all spiritual traditions around the world!

I am a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, and the healing arts are my greatest joys in life! I was first
introduced to the powerful healing art of Yoga 25 years ago, and I desire to share my expertise and
passion with you! I keep my classes very small and offer a lot of individual attention with a
compassionate touch. My special way of teaching offers each student a unique experience,
different from what she/he may have received elsewhere. The energy, which a Yoga teacher brings
with her into class, will make all the difference in the world in how her students receive the life-
altering transformational skills she imparts to them. Each class includes a lot of deep Yoga
breathing, stretching and postures, adapted especially to suit the particular needs of each
individual student. We end our Yoga class with a unique and beautiful meditation, which varies from
one class to another, and which someone sweetly referred to as “the icing on the cake”.

"Clown plus yoga equals healthy fun
Act teaches kids how to relax...While LoriAnn Paul
(also known as Zinnia the Clown) gets paid to make her clients
crack up, she uses clowning techniques to serve a greater
good...incorporates creative posturing and meditation along
with juggling and music into her program to teach others how
to improve their lives...

Nancy Kosloski, executive director of
Big Brothers Big Sisters in Orange County, has hired Zinnia the
Clown to perform at a few functions. 'I became interested in
what she had to offer in terms of yoga and relaxation because I
thought it would be good for the children and our program,'
said Kosloski. 'She was able to really use her skills to
incorporate every age group, have them feel comfortable, have
fun and relax. I was impressed with her ability to do that.'"

By Joe D. - Published in the Dutchess Voice:
Volume 6, Summer 2007
Every other Monday night, the club members and
staff all get together in the front meeting room, and
a bright cheery woman who we all know as

LoriAnn the Yoga instructor begins our Yoga
session. At the beginning, she reads to us a Yoga
manifesto, and we all end in a chant that goes
OHHHH Maaaa. Then she plays a relaxing CD in the
background with the sound of tiny tinkling bells and
running water. Lori then explains to us our chair
exercises, and we begin to get into position, tells us
that if any one of us has any discomfort doing one

of the motions, we should stop. The movements
are done very slowly and are very low impact, yet
give us a fair workout. We start with the face and
our breathing, get into a proper sitting posture, and
then move to the arms, hands, legs and feet. The
entire experience has a very relaxing effect; but still
more is to come. After the workout, and with our
eyes closed, LoriAnn reads to us a meditation in the

form of an enchanting story; then we gradually
open our eyes. Lori then passes out pencils and
paper and beckons us to write down our feelings or
whatever comes to mind from the meditation; and
then if anyone wants, they can share what they
wrote with the group. The session then ends; and I
just want to say that in my sometimes stress filled
life, the Yoga experience takes me to another place

free of burdens and worry. I hope we can continue
this activity and others can benefit from our
experience.
It's not simple to be simple...toward the sacred Mischief!!!
Letter to the Editor
Poughkeepsie Journal  April 10, 2008

Yoga with circus theme channels kids' energy

This letter is in reference to the article the Journal ran
last month, which featured my work as a yoga clown
("Clown plus yoga equals healthy fun," March 4)

My first Yoga class was 25 years ago, as an
adolescent, and it totally transformed my life. I wish to
share my love for the ancient healing arts of Yoga and
Meditation especially with inner-city children, who
might not have access to them otherwise.

Experience has proven that a one hour Yoga class,
taught in a very serious, straightforward way (as it is
presented to adults), seems to be too slow for many
high-energy children to enjoy. I began incorporating
Circus Arts into my kids' classes to engage the
children and found that most of them were better able
to focus during postures and meditation. By learning
how to channel their abundant energy in a
constructive way with the Circus Arts, the children
are more open to receiving the countless benefits
offered by Yoga and Meditation.

There are many formidable distractions that children
must contend with in our fast-paced society. Many
have difficulty sitting still and focusing their attention
inward quietly, as Yoga and Meditation often require.
In fact, some people argue that many of our children
are overly medicated in order to “calm them down”,
and we still do not know what the long-term
consequences of that may be. I fear that they could
very well prove to be catastrophic.

I am delighted to say that I have discovered a fun way
to engage our children while simultaneously teaching
them how to relax and focus inward.

Respectfully,
Zinnia the Yoga Clown
