Fun and informative, they are appropriate for students of all levels of experience.

April 3rd, 2010 Dynamic Dog – Moving from Downward into Upward-Facing Dog

In this class we will explore both downward and upward-facing dog and moving through the transition between these poses. We will refine key points of alignment to open the shoulders and use the arms effectively. Our focus will include use of deep core strength to keep the poses light and suspended. In this playful and challenging class we will explore both holding and moving in these postures.

January 2nd, 2010 Finding Your Center – Moving into Balance Poses

In this class we will explore finding our central axis, opening our hips, and grounding through our legs. We will also incorporate the use of the Yogic Bandhas for deeper understanding of subtle energy and core strength. Balance poses integrate body and mind by helping us to focus our intent and to find a more buoyant stability. This is a great way to start the new year.

January 30th, 2010 All about Sitting Poses – Yogic Seated Poses

In this class we will focus on how to mobilize the pelvis and open the hips to create a relaxed and stable foundation for sitting. This allows the spine to relax upward with less muscular effort. We will explore various sitting meditation poses, sitting forward and side bends, and seated spinal twists. We will discover how effective alignment reduces effort and helps to make sitting easier.
