This mindful approach to yoga invites you to connect with your body, release tension, and cultivate a sense of inner calm, making it an ideal practice for both beginners and those seeking a gentle, holistic approach to well-being.

Sri Vidya Yoga

Gemma Celento

This foundational Tantric Sri Vidya practice works to awaken the channels of the body, and strengthen prana (life force). Postures work into the subtle body (mental & emotional) to provide healthy flow of energy. Optional breath retention is incorporated within the postures to release stuck emotions and thoughts. A simple yet powerful practice allows you to control the intensity by incorporating guided breath work. Eliminate the breath work to make it a rejuvenating daily practice that supports energy flow.

Great practice to replace Sun Salutations or add onto either Sun Salutation series (A and/or B).

Yoga Brain Game

Tara Kestner

The brain-body connection is so very important. Strengthening this connection is vital to helping maintain balance and coordination, it also can help slow the effects of certain neurological disorders. Having good balance is also vital for injury prevention as we age.

This class is designed to help you reinforce your own brain-body connection through simple movements which require balance, strength and mental focus. You will need a yoga block or similar substitute, so round one up before you start.

Give this class a try a couple of times a week for a month and notice how it feels easier after a couple of weeks. The truth is the class doesn't get easier, you just get better; and that improvement will soon extend to your everyday activities.

Iyengar Yoga39 mins

Introduction to Iyengar Yoga

Dana Hanizeski

Iyengar Yoga is a style of yoga that will meet you where you are. It emphasizes proper body alignment, and use of yoga props. Depending on how they are used, props can make poses more accessible, or they can add a greater challenge.

Iyengar Yoga teaches us how to identify and work from the foundation of a yoga posture. In a beginning class, we do this by learning standing poses. This would make the foundation our feet and legs, and we will address that in depth through triangle pose, side angle pose, and warrior 2. You will also learn to sense your foundation underneath you when you are seated and lying down to rest in relaxation. Enjoy!

A Warrior In Self Care

Valerie D’Ambrosio

When beginning anything new, many of us have a habit of judging and/or berating ourselves during the process, as we seek for perfection. The only thing is that the negative energy we are putting into the practice and toward ourselves, will only result in struggle and potentially even suffering.

Cultivating self-care is something that our asana practice can offer us, which is entirely incumbent on our willingness to show up with kindness toward ourselves as we learn something new.

In this beginner yoga class we compassionately guide the body into a soft opening in order to have a deeper, healthier and perhaps even more happier relationship with Warrior One; a posture many people have a negative neuro-association to.
