SHIVA REA, THIS MONTH’S FEATURED TEACHER in Yoga Jour-

nal’s new online Master Class series, calls herself a move-

ment alchemist. Since earning her master’s degree in

world arts and cultures and dance from the University of

California, Los Angeles, Rea has spent 25 years honoring

and adapting yoga and other ancient movement practices

so that her students can experience “a connection to

movement meditation in a universal way.” She also devel-

oped Prana Flow Vinyasa, which has roots in Krishna-

macharya’s yoga system. Here, Rea shares her love of Sun

Salutations, a focus of her Master Class with YJ. Read on

for her inspiring story and an exclusive practice.
