NEW! Gentle Class on Wednesday Nights

Beginning last night, my Wednesday Night class is now a Gentle Class, ideal for beginners, people with special conditions or injuries, and those who want to focus on restorative and deeply rejuvenating yoga.  

In this class we will do a very gentle sequence focusing on foundational elements of yoga -- stability through the legs and feet, passive or gentle stretches, basic asanas, supported poses and using the wall to modify poses with a regular return to the breath as the fundamental gateway to a yogic state of steady balance and clarity.

We will be spending up to half the class in restorative poses (passive supported supine asanas), yoga nidra (yogic sleep which is deeply healing to the psyche), savasana, and meditation (supported at the wall if necessary).  The theme of this Gentle class will continue with the chakras and gunas and thematically parallel my All Levels classes.

So often people avoid something new or a public class if they are dealing with a lot of stress, intense emotions, anxiety, depression, a chronic injury, grief, sleep interruptions, mood swings, or a host of other fairly common symptoms of American life.  This class is a safe, peaceful, informative and experiential opportunity to learn techniques to shift into awareness of your true nature -- your complete, stable, joyful and courageous Self.

Please join me -- this class is more about being than doing -- it is a gift from the wisdom of the sages and an antidote to modern life.

Blessings,
Kathy
