Yoga for Home Practice

with Rebecca Hall

Saturday, February 15th 12-2

FREE for members and class pass holders ($10 suggested donation plus you get a free class on our regular schedule!

Maybe you love yoga, but studios are too inconvenient, too far away, or too costly for regular classes.  Let’s work together to set up some strategies for consistent, safe, fun, healthy yoga practice at home or outdoors. 

We’ll practice sequences and check alignment for movements that meet your needs, and we’ll rehearse breathing techniques for energy and for relaxation.  You’ll go home with a personal plan and plenty of practical advice to do yoga at home, whenever you want.

Inversions and Arm Balances with Rebecca Hall

Saturday, February 22nd

1:00-3:00 PM

$30

Let’s have fun working on strength, balance, and confidence. 

We’re learning variations on crow, headstand, handstand, forearm stand, and flying lizard.  We’ll practice drills to prepare you, flows for creative practice, longer holds, and stretches to support healthy shoulders and stronger backs.  You’ll go home with a goal sheet to help you track your progress. 

"Meditation is a naturally occurring rest state; it is resting in yourself while remaining awake and alert.  Meditation is innate, and your body already knows how to do it.  The human body has an instinctive ability to shift into profound rest states in order to heal, energize, integrate, tune itself up, and assimilate learning. . . Meditation promotes a heightened awareness of the details of everyday life.  Even a few minutes of mediation will help you move through the world with more relaxation and alertness."
