Ongoing Yoga Classes
Hatha Yoga and Mindfulness - Monday at 9:30am (Diane)
This class approaches yoga as a practice of mindfulness, the attentive unfolding and fine tuning of each moment. Each class explores the "music" of yoga--the rhythms of the body; the melodies of the heart; the joyful harmony of body, mind, and spirit. This practice also attends to breath and alignment as means of opening energy channels in the body and experiencing ease and comfort in the poses.
Nourishing Gentle Yoga - Tuesday 9:30am (Matece)--Starting February 19, 2019!
In this class, foundational yoga postures are practiced to strengthen and promote flexibility in the body with an emphasis on physical alignment. Breathing techniques and meditation are also integrated. You can expect an emphasis on simplicity and ease of movement. Full-body relaxation and balance are the goals, as we explore the body’s range of motion with standing postures, twists, backbends, forward folds, and hip openers. A great class for beginners as well as students seeking a more introspective approach to their yoga practice.
Nourishing Yin Yoga- Tuesday at 11:00am (Matece)--Starting February 19, 2019!
Enjoy the feelings of rejuvenation and steadiness that arise from a Yin Yoga practice as you slow down, move from noise to silence, from agitation to calm, from complexity to simplicity. This practice integrates the ancient Yoga teachings with Meridian Theory as taught in Chinese Medicine. Engage the body’s natural healing power as you actively nourish and harmonize the body's vital life force or chi. As the whole body rests and opens with long held poses, the natural healing power of chi is used to rejuvenate and repair the area of focus.
Gentle Yoga - Wednesday at 10:00 am (Lily K.)
This yoga practice is designed to bring a bit of tranquility to your day. Through basic and intermediate yoga poses, you will find greater freedom of movement, build strength and flexibility, and improve your balance. You will develop a better understanding of your physical body, the breath, and the mind-body connection that takes yoga to a deeper level. You will also learn techniques that take yoga beyond the mat and into your daily life. This class will include instruction appropriate for beginners but will also benefit those with previous yoga experience.
Chair Yoga - Wednesday at 11:30 am (Lily K.)
Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting on a chair, or standing and using a chair for support. This class is designed for those who prefer not to get down on the floor. One benefit of chair yoga is that it can be practiced almost anywhere! You will learn skills and techniques that can easily transfer to daily living. We will explore mindful breathing and guided relaxation along with seated and standing yoga poses that can increase flexibility and improve strength. Each class includes poses and stretches to support a balanced state of strength, stability, flexibility, and improved posture.
