Those who like the group energy and appreciate sharing the practice with other Yogis and Yoginis are welcome to join me at Ayama Yoga & Healing Arts Center.
The Wednesdays 9:30am, Hatha Yoga class, is a slower practice that allows more time in each pose to explore alignment and inner sensation, get adjusted and transform in a more restorative way.
The Sunday 9:30am, Vinyasa Yoga – Open Level class focuses more on the flow of the practice, utilizing the conscious breath as link between the poses. Students work out a bit more. I offer variations for all levels and we make it about feeling energized and open, balanced and whole at the end of class.
The Tuesday / Thursday 9:30am, Vinyasa360 – Level 2 classes explore the practice in multidimensional space. By using 2 crossed mats, I add creativity and freedom to the movement in the sequence. In these classes we delve into more complex sequencing, advanced poses and techniques.
The Wednesday 6:15pm, Qigong Breathing & Meditation starts with standing dynamic qigong practice, involving slow, rhythmic movements synchronized with the breath, intention, and visualization. The breathing portion of the class takes place sitting in a cross-legged position. We perform various Yogic breathing exercises (pranayama). Towards the end of class, the student draws the attention inward with the practice of concentration, silent meditation and final relaxation.
