CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Therapeutic Yoga
Modern medicine is now beginning to prove that the practice of yoga is therapeutic in nature and healing to the body, mind and spirit. The positive effects of yoga postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation have been explored in a number of patient populations including people with asthma, cardiac disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, headaches, depression, diabetes, pain disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and addictions. Come join me as we take a fresh look at all the health benefits a yoga practice has to offer. Chairs and blocks will be provided.
Winter Yoga I
Come enjoy a practice specially intended to make your winter healthy and happy. Yoga is about honoring the body by being in tune with nature. During the winter months, this means keeping warm and flexible while increasing your energy. Sun saluations and other creative flows will keep the body stretched and warm, stretches and exercises for the limbs such as chakrasana (wheel pose) and trikonasana (triangle pose) will be explored, plus breathing exercises, meditations and more. Taught at a Yoga I level but modifications are made for all levels of students.
