Rajni Yoga
Join Oliver at Park Hill Yoga, live or via zoom, Thursday mornings from 9:00-10:15am
This is a platform for yoga offerings provided by Denver-based yoga teacher Oliver Goldsmith. Since discovering yoga ten years ago while in high school, yoga has become a source of inspiration, guidance, and resilience for Oliver.
While studying and apprenticing with his college yoga teacher over the course of five years in Sarasota, Florida, Oliver learned a unique style of classical yoga instruction based on the methods of the Iyengar and Sivananda lineages. Since then, Oliver has taught:
college students and community members at the New College of Florida Fitness Center from June 2017-November 2018
nursing home residents at Brookdale Senior Living in Sarasota, Florida from December 2017-November 2018
residents recovering from drug and alcohol rehabilitation at NorthStar Transitions from October 2020-June 2021
Oliver’s yoga instruction is based on classical hatha yoga, with an emphasis on the teachings and method of BKS Iyengar. Oliver recently started teaching Thursday mornings 9:00-10:15am at Park Hill Yoga.
Rajni means “queen” in Sanskrit. This name was chosen for these offerings as a way to align with hatha yoga’s goal of balancing polarities while existing inside a dissonant aggressive capitalist patriarchal society.
