Yoga Classes:
 | The studio has a variety of classes for every level
-- our class are light-hearted an fun while still focusing on the important
aspects of a Yoga practice:
 |
Monday Mindfulness & Meditation
(Pamela) Free yourself from stress. Free yourself from negative past
events that are holding you back. Free yourself from
anger/hate/sadness/fear -- emotions that arise and control what you say
or do.
Mindfulness is not about suppressing emotions, but about become aware
when they arise so you can act in a mindFUL rather than mindLESS way.
We will learn various meditation techniques which we can practice daily,
or more often, to help us understand ourselves and how we interact with
the world around us, sometimes without even being aware of it.
Meditation has been shown, even by Western medicine, to relieve stress
-- stress which can cause serious illness to say nothing of how stress
can stop us from having a happy and fulfilling life.
Some meditations we learn can be done in 3 minutes -- anytime you feel
your emotions starting to "take over" your mind and your actions. Other
meditations are for releasing the stress of the day or as a way to begin
your day centered and calm.

|
Wednesday's Core Strengthening

|
Yin Yoga Saturday
mornings will reach deep within joints to the bones and fascia to
stretch and open tight areas, stimulate and open meridians, and increase
the flow of chi/prana. (Pamela)
 |
What is Yin Yoga?
It
is a balancing practice for your flow/core/hatha style of yoga, or
for anyone experience tight joints and muscles. Yin Yoga works
deeply, targeting the connective tissues, such as the ligaments,
bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not target
as much in a more active style of Yoga practice, primarily the hips,
pelvis and lower spine, but focus on shoulders, neck and upper back
is also practiced. Poses (primarily stretching poses) are held for
longer – 3 minutes minimum, and blankets, bolsters and blocks are
commonly used to support you in your practice. Yin Yoga is suitable
for all levels of experience. Many students have experiences relief
from hip or back pain from just one class.

Core Classes:
|
Mat and Ball (or Hoop)
Exercises based on Spencer Pilates (and we work too hard not to laugh once
in a while). Each "section" is done for approximately 20 minutes:
(Pamela)
|
Mat routines will be a series of movements designed to strengthen your
abdominal
and back muscles (core muscles). These are done in a continuous flowing sequence,
with pauses for resting and stretching. We also include some upper
body and leg/thigh/glut firming exercises. Mat routines are done after
warming up with either the ball or hoops. |
|
Ball exercises are practiced with a large ball, sitting on the ball,
holding the ball between
your feet or in your hands, lying over the ball, or lying on the mat
with your legs resting on the ball. These exercises strengthen your core and
are great for strengthen the arms, legs, thighs and gluts. |
|
Hula-hoop fitness are using large padded and
slightly weight hula hoops to strengthen our core -- and have fun. We
learn to spin while hooping, walk while hooping (harder than it sounds),
and sometimes we even do the Hokey Pokey while hooping. |
|
Stretching is very important considering all
the strengthening and toning done in class, so the last 20 minutes are
deep total stretches. |
