NEW CLASSES:
Kripalu Flow: Start your day with a moderate to vigorous asana to awaken your prana, energize your mind and
strengthen your body. Each class will conclude with a deep relaxation that will leave you feeling refreshed
and renewed. This class will move at a pace that honors all participating students.
Learn to Meditate:
Tantric style meditation teaches us to become increasingly self-aware and aware of the Great Self.
In this course, we will introduce a variety of "dharana" or techniques that cultivate steady attention and expand awareness. Each session includes introduction to a specific dharana, meditation practice of 15- 30 minutes, a group share and discussion and ends with a deep relaxation to assimilate your experience. Participants will gain maximum benefit by attending all classes and by committing to practice meditation for 20 minutes a day. Series class, pre-registration required.
Restorative Yoga: A soothing practice to rejuvenate your mental and physical energy. Participants recline over props (blankets, bolsters, blocks, eye pillows) which are adjusted to meet each individual's needs. Instructions are given to direct awareness deep inside to an endless reservoir of peace and healing. An unhurried pace allows you to linger and unwind in each pose . Mature teens are welcome.
Yoga Flow: Move and groove to world beat music with free-flowing, dynamic sequences and creative postures that will change with the seasons and respond to our natural rhythms. Basic Anusara alignment will be incorporated to keep us safe and strong as we stretch and play.
Stiff Man's Yoga: Join other big stiff men for a great grunt and groan stretch and relieve your aching back! Men can and do practice yoga, and they love the challenge, because they feel so good afterwards. Learn how to modify poses and use props according to your needs. No need to be shy - this class is for you! Series class pre-registration requires.
