Brian Dotson displays various yoga techniques during his class at the Maple Valley Creative Arts Center Tuesday.
Yoga class at arts center gives breathing room
By Kris Hill • May 28, 2009 4:55 pm

Start with breathing then a little meditation to center yourself.
That’s how Brian Dotson starts his yoga class at the Maple Valley Creative Arts Center.
From there it depends on the experience level of his students.
“If several beginners were in class that day, we’d instruct them on how to keep their spines straight and prevent injuries to themselves,” Dotson said. “Usually at the beginning or end I’ll toss in some elements of Qigong which incorporates the same breathing and energy flow, but really adds to the variety of movements in the class.”
Dotson and his wife Randa Hilal recently began teaching yoga, first out of Intent Yoga Center in Enumclaw, and now twice a week at the Arts Center.
