Yoga with a Chair

ALL LEVELS:

Using a chair can enhance and deepen the execution of a pose. Open to All Levels, each class explores the fundamentals of good posture and alignment. Using a chair is like practicing with your fun, Yoga Buddy!

LIMITED ABILITIES:

Physical movement for both pre and post surgery, hip and knee issues, and injuries which require specific assistance is the motivation for this class. The session starts with hand-eye coordination exercises to music, and develops into sequences to enhance flexibility, strength and balance. The class always ends with a deep relaxation.

Yoga Nidra

These midday sessions are designed to rest your brain. No special outfit needed, stay in your work clothes and come and rest awhile. After a very short while, you will leave mentally refreshed and ready to tackle your next work shift.

Yoga Nidra is a restful session, enjoyed lying on the floor or sitting in a chair. There is no physical exertion, as the guided meditation results in easing mental tension.

Open to everyone; no previous experience in Yoga necessary

Restorative Yoga

Using extra props like cushions, blankets, and sandbags assists in deep physical and mental rest. Paying attention to regulating the in and exhale and taking a pause from the busyness of our lives, Restorative Yoga can take one into deep states of stillness, peace and tranquility. We practice staying close to the floor, so practitioners must be able to get down to the floor and up again without assistance.

Sadhana: Meditation & Pranayama

In this early morning session, we will practice fundamental breathing practices and basic techniques of sitting comfortably.

Watching the rhythms of our breathing and observing the thought waves in the mind without attachment to these thoughts, allows the mind-field to calm and a peaceful state to emerge.

The session is suitable for beginners as well as seasoned practitioners. Chairs are available if sitting on the floor is not an option.

Meditation

The common states of fear, anxiety, depression, despair, restlessness, and numbness, to name a few, visit all of us; sometimes for a short while and sometimes they outstay their welcome. Meditation offers us a practical and meaningful way to relate to these mind states, and to help cultivate the opposite states of ease, contentment, love, and joy.

The evening offers meditation instructions, guided meditations, and useful suggestions for sitting positions. A Dharma talk is offered, and a brief time for discussion.

Please bring your own cushions and blankets or a shawl. Chairs are provided for those not wanting to sit on the floor.

This class is suitable for beginners or seasoned practitioners.

Shake Free TRE®

Come experience Shake Free TRE® – a simple and natural way to release stress and tension by resetting your nervous system through self induced shaking.

In our body and mind we carry tension from past trauma and injury. This tension is exhausting and weighs us down, ultimately affecting our health and prevents us from living our best life!

TRE® is a set of 7 simple exercises that were created by Dr. David Berceli. These exercises stimulate an instinctual shaking mechanism (tremor/vibration) in the body that releases deeply held tension patterns and brings the body and mind back to balance and harmony.

TRE® is meant to be a helpful tool you can use anytime you feel exhausted, tense, stressed or overwhelmed. Once you learn how to stimulate the tremors you can use them anytime you need to release tension and come back to a state of balance. You will be able to shake off unwanted energy and move forward with ease and vitality!

This class is $25 dollars and is limited to 8 participants.

To register please send an email. You will be asked to fill out a form to determine if TRE® is the right fit for you. There is also an option to book a private online session for beginners.

I look forward to connecting and sharing with you!
