Students are encouraged to move at their own pace with intention and to listen to their body as they explore their own edge an discover inner strength. Instructors will offer many options for each pose to

accommodate all student levels.

 

EveryBODY Classes

Feel you “can’t do yoga?” If so, this class is designed just for you. Each class is taught based on each individual who is present in class- hence the name ‘everyBODY.’ The class will be modified based on who is in class and you will be welcomed and cared for exactly as you are. We work on breath, movement and joining the two together to gain balance and flexibility.

 

Intro to Yoga: Radical Self-Acceptance

Hatha is also translated as ha meaning "sun" and tha meaning "moon." Postures are practiced to align, strengthen and promote

flexibility in the body. Breathing awareness and self-love are a big part of this class. Good for the student “new” to yoga or returning students who are looking to fine-tune their asana practice.

This series was developed by Mukunda Stiles, and it is designed to "move each joint gently and systematically through its full range of motion. To enhance joint mobility and relieve joint pain and stiffness.

 

Somatic Yoga

Somatic yoga is working muscles, bones and ligaments “of the body.” It allows for a re-programming to occur working out a new way to move. Somatic yoga can be described as movement therapy. The benefits are reprogramming the body's shape that naturally occurs due to continual movement or our bodies reaction to our perception of the universe. This intentional and slow practice nourishes interoception allowing one to notice the physical body and how its subtle movement affects the mind and body. This practice is for anyone needing a slow and intentional practice. The term Somatic means ‘embodied’ or ‘of the body’. Thomas Hanna developed the field of Somatics influenced by the methods of Moshe Feldenkrais and others. In the 1970s, he and Eleanor Criswell Hanna set up the Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training where he practiced for many years. Hanna observed how certain body-work procedures helped people who had postural difficulties to regain control of the muscles that were holding them in these restrictive ways. He called these processes Hanna Somatic Education.
