Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding,

Class Descriptions

Therapeutic Yoga and Pilates for "Every body"

Starts July 6th, Mon. 9:00 -10:00 am, Cost: $44

A slower paced class combining yoga, Pilates and therapeutic techniques. Pilates works specifically on the deep abdominal and back muscles that support the spine, resulting in a decrease in lower back pain and an improvement of posture. Students learn how to stabilize the core while targeted stretching and exercises help restore their low back, hip and shoulder function. Lots of individual instruction in a supportive class setting. You have an option to perform exercises seated in a chair. This class is especially well suited for seniors.

Note: If you are taking this class for the first time you will need instructor's permission to join this class. In order to be safe and get the most benefit from Pilates you will need to schedule a private lesson to learn Pilates basic principles (breathing, pelvic placement, rib cage placement, scapular movement and stabilization, head and cervical placement). After your private lesson the instructor will help you to decide, if you are ready to join the class or, if it is best for you to continue with private lessons. Cost for one hour private lesson $ 60.

Chi-Gong /Meditation

Starts July 1st, Wed. 9:00-9:50 am, Cost: $50

Learn the skills to develop calm and centered mind. This practice is drawn from yoga and inner Chi-Gong, an ancient form of Tai Chi, that harnesses one's inner energy (Chi) through visualization, sound and breathing. Meant to relax the body, stimulate the body's reserves of Chi, the meditations focus on physical and spiritual healing through the release of negative energy kept within one's internal organs. A combination of meditation, breath, and deep spiritual cleansing, this class is an excellent way to help calm down and access new stores of hidden energy to improve your health, happiness, and lifestyle. 50 minute class.
