MOVING MEDITATION
Wednesday 9:45am-11:15am | All Levels
Reduce stress, lower heart rate, boost your immune system, manage pain, relieve depression, feel calmer and more content. Morning Meditation combines two ancient technologies: Mindfulness and Movement, in a way that accesses portions of the brain under-utilized by contemporary humans, and reliably induces altered brain-wave patterns responsible for a sense of well-being, wholeness and connection—to Self, and Other(s). Participants are guided and supported in moving in their own way on their own time. This makes this class suitable for all levels of fitness, and can effectively compliment injury or illness recovery. It feels good.
No Meditation or Movement experience necessary.
ANUSARA INSPIRED YOGA
Wednesday 10:45am-12:00pm | All Levels
Anusara means 'to step into the currents of Grace' or 'step into the flow'. Through the universal principals of alignment, we use the Hatha yoga poses to not only align physically, but mentally and spiritually. When we align the physical body, it allows all the flows of the body to work more efficiently (blood, lymph, oxygen, digestive, energy, etc). When the system flows better, it in turn gives us more energy, we sleep better, and our overall disposition is vastly improved. While weaving a theme from the Rajanaka Tantric philosophy, we will work hard to build strength through a positive attitude, good alignment and choice actions. No matter whether a basic class or a level 2/3 class, be prepared to work hard, but to also use playfulness and laughter to balance it all out.
LUNCHTIME YOGA SPREAD
Wednesday 12:00pm-1:00pm | All Levels
Tracey's classes are accessible to students of all levels as she offers a nurturing space where students feel safe to let go, explore and play. A practice designed to challenge and invigorate as well as restore. Students are encouraged to focus on their breath, apply compassion and allow their practice to evolve from the inside out as the union between their breath, mind, body and inner spirit deepens. As balance grows, students (re)discover their strength and resilience on the mat and off, as they meet life’s everyday and surprise challenges. Classes are accompanied by an eclectic mix of music.
ASHTANGA YOGA
Thursday 5:30pm-7:00pm | All Levels
Ashtanga Yoga is a 5,000 year-old set sequence of postures designed to bring incredible strength, flexibility and endurance to the body, and a sense of stillness to the mind. This strong class will teach the fundamentals of sun salutations, ujjayi breath, energy locks, and vinyasas to prepare the student for the full primary series of ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga’s intensity can also invoke positive life transformations off the mat, helping you to live fully, with a deep sense of Self in your daily life. The Ashtanga (“eight limbs”) system is a deeply held spiritual practice helping you to connect to your soul and to God.
LEVEL 2 BREAKTHROUGH
Saturday 10:15am-11:45am | Levels 1&2
