January - February 2012

Purna Yoga™ Class Description:

Purna means 'complete' in Sanskrit and the classes are intended to nourish your whole being - body, mind, emotions and spirit. The class consists mainly of yoga postures that will increase strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance. Emphasis is placed on precision, alignment and safety of the body in the postures. Meditation is also included to calm the mind and connect to the heart center.

Hip Opening

This class is designed especially for opening the hips! The hips are able to stretch/move in 6 different ways. Class will begin with the Hip Series – a simple yet powerful sequence of stretches designed to open the hips in all 6 directions – bringing flexibility and balance to the hips. Following the Series, we will do classical yoga postures with emphasis on the hips, as well as special stretches and unique prop work to improve flexibility even more. Let’s have a little fun. Come feel the joy of free and happy hips. All levels welcome.

Restorative Yoga

This class is designed for deep relaxation. We will begin with meditation to center the mind, followed by gentle stretches and restorative postures to gently open the body and bring a sense of deep restoration. Props will be used to support the poses so that you can relax completely and open gently. Finish feeling refreshed, restored and renewed. All levels welcome.
