Yin Nada Yoga with Live Sound Bath (with Scott)
Mondays, 5:30 - 7:00 p.m., starting Oct. 5
Yin Yoga maintains postures--in a relaxed manner--for a few minutes rather than a few breaths. Focusing on stillness, it has a distinct meditative quality and can be done in a challenging or gentle way. By reshaping the fascia and connective tissue, yin yoga improves mobility, breath, alignment, and recovery from injury. Nada yoga is the yoga of sound vibration. Classes will include a live sound bath with tone drums, chimes, bowls, etc. to enhance the yin experience.

The graceful, dancelike Tai Chi form is one method of qigong. We'll learn a variety of standing and sitting qigong methods as well as the famous Cheng Man-Ching tai chi form.

Yoga and Miracles is a transformative journey weaving vinyasa sequences with meditation, affirmation, and ritual to release old patterns, dive into the fertile void, and retrieve new insight and inspiration. Like hitting the "reset button," this class is most conducive to clearing your mind and opening your heart. All levels of experience welcome.

Kripalu Yoga (with Scott)
Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., starting Oct. 8.
Explore the edge of challenge and ease, will and surrender, in this traditional hatha yoga lineage. Develop strength, flexibility and balance in a dynamic yet gentle way that brings the form into your body, rather than forcing the body into a form. The focus is on going slow, diving deep, and releasing with grace. This 90 minute class includes an opening centering; developmental warmups; a varying sequence of postures (with variations); pranayama; meditation; and a long closing relaxation or yoga nidra. Open to all levels of experience.
