~Upcoming Workshops~
Learning Ashtanga by the Mysore Method ~with Barbara Stanley
|
THIS WORKSHOP IS POSTPONED!!!!~~~ Ashtanga Yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures- a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, as well as, a calm mind. Named after the city where it originated, Mysore is the traditional method in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught. Rather than being led by a teacher at the teacher’s pace, Mysore class students progressively move through the series at their own pace in a group setting, under the guidance of a teacher. Join Barbara Stanley, with assistant Sara Limb and bask in the glow of this Mysore Ashtanga Primary Series. $150 Investment, 12 person minimum to hold the class, 15 max. |

Restorative SATYA/Somatics with Erin Larsen
|
This will be rescheduled.
10:00am-12:00pm Cultivate inner listening and heightened awareness through somatic movement. Somatic movement is based on countering sensory-motor amnesia to create awareness and movement in areas that may have become desensitized, while releasing chronic tension. The exercises are slow, gentle, done without force and executed lying on your back, belly or side making them effective and approachable for everybody. Restorative poses are integrated to allow time for your body to assimilate the effects of these movements. Cost $20.00 members/$25.00 non-members For more information, please contact Erin Larsen at erinlarsenyoga@gmail.com |

Yin Yoga with Candace Evans
Saturday
April 11th
10am-12pm
|
Yin is the feminine/masculine, dark, passive, receptive, reflective, withdrawn, cool, introspective aspects of life. Yin yoga was developed to penetrate deep into connective tissue expanding flexibility while invigorating the energy centers of the body (nadis) to release blockages and increase your energy flow. Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses. Yin yoga targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues - ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep fascia networks of the body - rather than the muscles (which are the physical focus of Yang yoga practices). Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles. Yin yoga also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits. Benefits of a regular Yin yoga practice
