Yin Yoga Mondays with Carole – Spring
Jul 20 @ 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm
The three principles of Yin yoga are: 1) Come into an appropriate depth for your body in each pose; 2) Become still; 3) Hold for a long time. This can mean up to 3-5 minutes per pose. What is important is not what a pose looks like, but what it feels like… we use many props in Yin yoga to support our bodies in releasing into the connective tissues rather than specifically stretching the muscles. Yin yoga is not restorative yoga, in that we are still looking for some stress to the tissues in order to create optimal health. Yin targets mainly the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine.
A slower moving class focusing on floor postures.  All levels welcome.
“We don’t use our bodies to get into the pose, we use the pose to get into the body”, according to my teacher, Bernie Clark.

Practicing Gratitude: Art, Science, and Living — Online Workshop
Jul 25 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

We are of course thankful for so many good things that come our way.  You may have some inkling that a quality of gratitude is helpful even if bad things come your way.  We’re less reactive, more hopeful, less stressed and so much more.  In fact good research is telling us that a quality of gratitude has many benefits:  Research – Proven Benefits of Gratitude.

Beyond the research and perhaps most important and most intuitive to us is this essential quality of a life well-lived.  Here is a wonderful TED that captures this sense and the way we will consider gratitude during the morning:  Gratitude TED.   Also consider this radio interview on the program OnBeing that explores the depths and nature of gratitude:  The Anatomy of Gratitude.

The very good news is that we can practice gratitude.  Let’s share the practice and learning here.  Learning materials included.

Mindful Yoga for Ease and Stability of the Neck, Shoulders, and Upper Back
Jul 27 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Aches and pains in the neck are common.  This workshop will provide some very simple ways of awakening some of the tissues around the neck that become irritated with over or under use.  Also, ways of supporting the stability of the neck girdle will be covered.

This course is in no way a replacement for medical or therapeutic care so check in with your physical or therapist if you have a diagnosis that must be adjusted for in the movement during class.

Happy Hips: Mindful Yoga for a Sturdy, Flexible and Resilient Lower Body
Aug 10 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

To find full opening in the hips one has to find awareness and stability of the pelvis.  If you keep the pelvis strong and stable, you will isolate the movements in the hip joint.  This will lead to happier hips as well as happier low backs, knees and feet!

Many of the poses we’ll practice use the leg as a lever to stretch open the hip.  At times this may be aggravating for the knee.  It is not appropriate to feel knee pain in any of the poses.  If you do – come out of your pose.

Learning materials included.  With Brant
