Class Series

Class Series are beneficial to all who are looking to make traction on an intention and find continuity in a theme.  We are mindful that finding a class that serves you on a regular basis off of the "drop-in class menu" can be challenging.  To ensure that you are able to have one of your practices/week be about growing in a particular area, the drop-in classes will be opportunities to integrate the newly absorbed material.  

These class series invites you to commit... to yourself, to a teacher and to a practice. It is true to the tradition of yoga, where knowledge is given from teacher to student over time. It allows us as teachers to develop programs that are designed to build each week over the course of the session. 

• develop a strong student-teacher and community relationship

• witness growth in your own practice, as well as other's

• build strong foundations for a personal practice

• move toward an intention, one that you will be supported

Coming again Spring 2020

Digestion & Detoxification

Spring is a time for renewal/rebirth and is the perfect time to reawaken the body through natural cleansing practices. Support your body’s natural detoxification system by mindfully choosing healthy foods that aid digestion. In this workshop, we will explore connections between yoga and nutrition as they relate to detoxifying the body and healthy digestion. We will practice common yoga postures with an added attention to alignment and breath to develop and/or strengthen the mind-body connection. Although we will be practicing ancient and well-known postures, come to class with an open mind to explore. 

Learn breathing techniques proven to relieve stress and improve mood and mental focus. These benefits have been enjoyed by thousands of adults and children worldwide, health-care practitioners, yoga teachers, military veterans, and individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADD, cancer, and other medical conditions. Many people who have practiced these techniques say they have been transformed, and that they never would have imagined something so simple could be so powerful and helpful.

Pranayama, like yoga, is best understood through practice, versus the study of theory. It is best approached with gradually introduced exercises from simple to complex. . The eight limbs of yoga as written by Patanjali, Pranayama evolves from the practice of asana, while building toward meditation. One of the important aspects of asana practice is awareness of the breath and following it. This class will attempt to develop that awareness using both asana and mudra so that by viewing and feeling the breath one understands the actual breath. This will aid in transitioning the focus from the outward practice to the inner practice.

We try to improve breathing patterns by strengthening the muscles that allow easier breathing while loosening muscles that constrict the breath. This will lead to an understanding of how the breath moves in the body, how it changes, how it can be guided, and especially how limited our breathing may be, often using less than our full lung capacity. In fact, we often “work too hard” resulting in breathing less rather than more, while using a great deal of effort.

These classes are an attempt to “unfold the breath” from a mental conception into an understanding of the breath and then evolving into Pranayama practice leading toward meditation.
