Body, Breath & Mind
Designed to
build strength, flexibility, and mindful awareness, this class will get your day off to a powerful start! |
Elements of Yoga
Earth, water, fire, air and space are found within us and in the world around us.
Connecting to the energy and qualities of each element through the practice of postures, supportive
breath techniques and guided imagery will be explored in this creative series of classes. |
Express with the Breath
Our physical and verbal expressions are greatly influenced by the quality
and movement of our breath. Through the mindful application of postures, breath techniques/
meditation and sound, this class is designed to support and develop a breath that enhances stable,
light and clear expression. |
Going Deeper Into Yoga
For continuing students this class will refine the Yoga postures and
include breathing practices and the use of sound, to experience Yoga at a deeper level. |
Moving Into Meditation
As meditation serves to quiet the mind, Yoga postures prepare the body
for sitting, improve breathing patterns, and cultivate internal awareness. Going from the external to
the internal, this class will invite each person to experience the stillness within. |
The Starting Point
For all beginners, this class will introduce basic Yoga postures and how to
coordinate these postures with correct breathing technique. |
Strength and Balance
Build strength, resiliency and postural balance in your body through the use of stronger Yoga postures and supportive breath techniques. Handheld weights will sometimes be
used to develop upper body strength, and inner core muscles will be actively engaged to support back
health. Previous experience with postures is recommended for this class. Please bring a set of light
weights to class. |
Yoga Study & Practice
Discussion of Yoga philosophy and the cultivation of self-awareness in order to live more genuinely, more confidently, and
with more clarity, will be the focus of this class. |
