Yoga for Stress Relief and Anxiety with Malati

Tuesdays, 6 - 7:15pm

Are you experiencing high levels of stress in your everyday life?

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed?
Or you're struggling with depression?
Stress is abundant, and seems to be on the rise.
What I love about practicing Yoga is the transformation it brings. Yoga works on many levels, as we are multidimensional Human Beings.
The nervous system is one of the levels we can actively benefit, switching our bodies out of sympathetic (Fight and Flight) response to parasympathetic (Rest and Restore) response. Ahhh!
In yoga practice, through the sequencing of tense and rest/release, we can train our bodies to shift more easily from stress to being at ease in our every day life.

Meditation class - free! Tuesdays,

10:45 - 11:15am 

Meditation is easy. If you can think and breathe, you can meditate!
 Heart rate normalizes, stress hormones subside, the body starts to release the tension, our mind calms down.
This is a free class. Please sign up so we know who is coming 🙂

Slow Flow Vinyasa with Olivia

Mondays 6 - 7:15pm

Vinyasa means “to place in a special way”.  The slower pace of this class lets students explore the connection of breath, movement and spirit.  The poses are held for longer periods of time allowing for the body to awaken and the mind to clear.

 

Soul Flow with Shankari 

Thursdays, 10:15 - 11:30am

Soul Flow incorporates Hatha Yoga principles and asana, while infusing Vinyasa Flow movements and breathe work. Each class will incorporate 7 sequences including centering, sun salutations, back bends, forward bends, twists, deep relaxation and meditation/pranayama. Along with the movements, positive affirmations, and soul wisdom will be shared, to enhance the student’s ability to manifest, and cultivate change in their life. This form of fun, love and power allows the yogi to create a deep connection with their true roots and soul center!
