Hatha - Hatha
is the physical branch of yoga. These classes emphasize asana (posture)
work combined with prananyama (breathing practices) to help center and
calm the mind, allowing a meditative state to develop naturally and easily.
Stretch
Class - utilizing principals of the DSL/Structural Biotics method,
we will work with a variety of postures and breathing techniques to work
deeply within the tissues of the body, releasing tension and emotional/somatic
holding.
Yoga Basics
- in this class, we will work with foundations of yoga, deconstructing
basic posture work (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama.) This is
a great introduction to hatha yoga, and will increase muscle tone, flexibility,
and peace of mind.
Chakra -
this class explores the major energy centers of the body using postures,
sound, imagery, and meditation. By concentrating on a different chakra
each week, we build relationship between our unique physical, emotional
and spiritual components. It is powerful work in overcoming energy blocks
and helps to bring us into greater understanding of the behaviors we engage
in.
Kundalini
-
many thousands of years old, Kundalini Yoga is known as the “mother yoga”.
This class is a powerful combination of meditation, movement and breathing
practices to clear energy pathways and recalibrate the nervous system.
Kundalini Yoga is an experiential journey that works on the cellular level
to stimulate self-healing and personal empowerment with immediate and noticeable
results.
Sabbath
Yoga - In this ninety-minute class, we will use asana (posture), pranayama
(breathing practices), and meditation to move from the mundane to the sacred,
coming into a space of delight and surrender in order to best enjoy our
weekend. Take the time on "Erev Shabatt", the Sabbath's eve, to come home
to yourself before going out to play.
Five Elements
-
working with the tattvas or “elements” of the first five chakras, we explore
our relationship to earth, water, fire, air, and space within our beings
through asana (postures), mantra (sound), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation.
Yoga Nidra - translated as
“psychic sleep”, this meditation will rejuvenate and revitalize you. It
will teach you to allow your body to fall deeply asleep while the mind/consciousness
remains awake. Give yourself the gift of deep relaxation!
Women's Yoga - This class
especially addresses women's concerns in yoga; menstruation, pregnancy,
menopause, and the unique experience of practicing yoga with a woman's
body (of all shapes and sizes).
Restorative Yoga - This
gentle yoga practice uses props to create supported postures in which the
body can fully relax. It is excellent for anyone recovering from
an injury (physical or emotional), as well as an amazing stress reducer.
Candles, flowers, and soft music complete the meditative atmosphere.
