Cowgirl

Yeeehaw! Check the boots, belonging to out current guru - Cowgirl Casie. She's almost as hard to tie down as the steers that she rounds up on her ranch, which explains the pic below of her dashing out of the shala. She's 'the one that got away'.


Fresh off the back of winning a prize at the Maui Rodeo, you know that she's arrived by the grunt of her monster pickup truck - built for the valley island (Maui). And once the boots are off the show begins. Sat atop a yoga pillow at the head of the room, she beings a whole new meaning to 'modern guru', dressed up in a cowgirl outfit: well-fitting levi jeans, blonde pigtails and long-sleeved ranch shirt. This gal is cool.


Strong but gentle, firm but fair, she will push you and bring a new light into your practice, but also be open enough to work around any issues coming up with the body. She seems to know just what is needed at any given time within anyone's practice and applies just the right energy and momentum into each and every adjustment. One particular adjustment was Vrschikasana, where she was pulling my feet over my head, and pushing backwards also, and then down to the floor at the same time.... i had NO idea what was happening! Which was nice. However you wouldn't want to cross her with any bull as she'd have you hog-tied with her rope before you can say "ohm"!
