Schedule and Pricing:
The pace of modern life is taxing on the body-mind. Physical and mental tension can lead to depressed immunity, muscular tightness, insomnia, high blood pressure, and anxiety. All of our classes aim to help you calm the mind and develop awareness of your body so you can fulfill your creative potential. Welcome!
Group Yoga Classes:
Friday
Deirdre
Yin Yoga and Guided meditation | 5:30 pM - 7 pM
Opposed to the traditional "yang" or more active practice that works on big muscle groups and generating heat, "yin" classes work passively to open up the joints and connective tissue, re-sculpting our bodies. Poses are held longer and involve props.
This class begins March 2nd.
Saturday
Deirdre
Conscious Vinyasa | 9:30 AM - 11 AM
A "flow" class links breath to movement. As we move through various asana such as forward folds, backbends, and twists, this class will focus on strengthening our core and moving from that place of "center," that is, a place of clarity, balance, and integration.
Deirdre
Hatha I-II 11:30-12:45 Pm
This class is designed for Advanced Beginners who have completed at least two sessions of our Beginner Series offered on Sundays and thus have a good understanding of the basic yoga vocabulary and fair amount of body-awareness. It is also a lovely class for more advanced students who want to fine-tune their alignment using props in a slower-paced class-format.
Sunday
Deirdre
Vinyasa II| 10:30 - 11:45 AM
Intermediate
This class builds strength and cardiovascular capacity by linking hatha yoga postures with flowing vinyasas. Sequences incorporate core stability, hip and shoulder opening and spinal flexibility with variations offered for all levels.
