ACTIVE YOGA CLASSES (see schedule and class descriptions for specifics)
Active Yoga Classes include Anusara-Inspired Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Breath-Flow-Stillness, Going Deeper, Hatha Yoga and Gentle Yoga.
These classes are active in that they are a physical yoga practice, a
complete workout for the entire body/mind. The styles are different
depending on the class but they all include poses (asana), breathwork
(pranayama) and meditation. In general all of these styles can be classified
under the generic term of Hatha Yoga. One definition of the Sanskrit word
“hatha” is sun (ha) and moon (tha) and implies the integration of opposites
into a balanced union. Another definition of the term "hatha" is determined
effort. This implies that it is a practice that requires powerful, dynamic
activity to liberate the life force within. It also is a practice that recognizes
the interplay of body, mind and spirit in this activity. Through practice we
develop greater health, mental focus, and mindful awareness that influences
general wellbeing. This ultimately prepares us for the meditation practices
that are at the heart of the yoga tradition.
We offer a variety of classes that are a vinyasa or flow style practice and
ultimately derive from the Ashtanga yoga system. In the Vinyasa and Breath-Flow-Stillness
classes the sequencing will vary from week to week depending on the
teacher. All of these classes coordinate a sequential posture flow with the
dynamics of the breath.
In the Hatha Yoga class there is more focus on alignment and attention to
detail and form in the poses. This in-depth exploration of a variety of poses
is very therapeutic and essential for a balanced practice.
Anusara-Inspired Yoga and Going Deeper combine principles of alignment
with the dynamic movement of a flow class for a fully integrated practice.
And finally, Gentle Yoga is an active practice that is less vigorous than the
other classes.
In general, each style has its own rewards. You are encouraged to try all of
them since every day is different. One day you may want and need an active
vinyasa, another day you might want the clarity of more alignment direction
and still another you may need the peace and quiet of a Restorative Yoga
class.
QUIET YOGA CLASSES
Quiet yoga classes are just that, quiet, contemplative, restful with minimal
or no movement. They provide an opportunity to just be without having to
do anything so you can experience the power and healing benefits of
stillness. Our quiet classes are Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga and
Meditation.
YIN YOGA/MEDITATION Tuesday, 7:15-8:45pm with Cynthia
A complement to more active forms of Yoga and other types of vigorous
physical activity, Yin yoga is a quiet and contemplative practice that promotes
greater circulation of energy through the body, increased mobility of the joints
and an opportunity to explore and examine one's deeper nature through
observation of mind and sensation. Yin postures are held for three to five
minutes with muscles relaxed in order to "exercise" the connective tissue,
primarily of the hips, pelvis, lower spine and shoulders.
This class is open to all practitioners and will combine the experience of Yin
postures with Taoist and meridian theory, pranayama, silence, and occasional
groaning! You will learn meditation practices that develop
awareness of one’s deeper nature through observation of mind sensation. This is the perfect way to unwind after a busy day!
RESTORATIVE YOGA
This ongoing class is the perfect way to unwind from a hectic morning or
day. Give yourself the time and space to relax, rejuvenate and experience
the power of Restorative Yoga and Meditation.
Restorative Yoga is a profoundly soothing and rejuvenating practice for the
central and autonomic nervous system. It is an important component to a
complete yoga practice and great for EVERYONE - beginners as well as those
experienced in yoga. It is also beneficial for those who may be dealing with
specific health concerns and are not currently able to participate in a regular
yoga class. Because Restorative Yoga is an extremely gentle and restful
practice, it is perfect for those recuperating from illness and injury. It also
helps alleviate the effects of stress, anxiety, headaches, migraines,
depression, PMS, menopausal symptoms and aging. The class will include
Restorative Yoga poses (poses you stay in for 5-15 minutes with the support
of props to facilitate complete rest), Pranayama (breathing techniques) and
Meditation. In addition to relieving the effects of chronic stress, the poses
also stimulate and soothe the organs and balance the energy of the body.
Pranayama increases lung capacity, strength and fitness. Meditation calms
and focuses the mind, allowing us to be happier and clearer in our thinking.
If you have never practiced a full hour of Restorative Yoga and Meditation
you are in for a treat.
