Yoga Classes Offered
Yoga has been around for over 5000 years and millions of people around the globe participate. Yoga obviously improves your flexibility, but it also strengthens your core improving posture and helping with back pain. The breathing techniques you learn doing yoga bring relaxation and help reduce the effects of stress – and studies show this relaxation releases a host of biochemical responses that benefit your overall health.
Even more benefits include improved concentration, stabilized moods, slowed aging process, lowered blood pressure, slowed heart rate and even reversing the effects of heart disease. Other conditions helped by yoga include insomnia, asthma, arthritis, and many others. Some say even relationships improve as a result of yoga. Well, only one way to know, you gotta try it for yourself. Find balance in your life, while you refresh and heal your body.
Candle Light Restorative
This is a gentle practice that facilitates restful relaxation and uses gravity instead of muscular force to stretch connective tissue. We begin the class with simple, breath-full movements to find a quality of ease and groundedness in the body and mind. We then move into a sequence of Yin poses in which the body is supported by props (bolsters, blocks and blankets) and held for an extended period of time. The teacher uses guided visualization and pranayama (breathwork) to promote deep release. Students should be able to get down onto the floor with relative ease. Suitable for all levels. NOTE: Please bring blankets and eye pillows, if possible, for use during practice, as props are limited. Register online well in advance, as this class fills up quickly.
Hatha Mix
In this led class, we will follow the traditional Primary Series of Ashtanga, omitting the most challenging postures and many of the vinyasas with the purpose of bringing the grounding and invigorating aspects of the Primary Series to practitioners of ALL LEVELS.
In this class you will learn:
~ Breath technique (pranayama), bandha engagement (energy locks), drishti (eye gaze)
~ The Sun Salutations. (Suryanamaskar A & B)
~ The traditional standing series of Ashtanga, presented with modifications
~ The seated series modified and suited for beginners
~ The traditional and modified finishing series including backbends and shoulderstands
Viniyoga
This therapeutic-style class comes from the ViniYoga tradition and are safe for anyone to attend. The breath inspires the entire sequence through small vinyasas, fluid movements in and out of poses, pranayama, and some meditations. Each class offers a combination of these activities to hold space for each student to learn more about where their body wants to evolve into a different expression. The classes are carefully sequenced to help the students learn how to transform the neuro-muscular patterns in their body into a more relaxed state. The beauty of these classes is that any yogi can make the class as challenging or restorative as they like, since there are many ways to adapt each pose.
