Mantras are sounds, syllables, single words, or phrases that are considered capable of creating transformation. Mudras are symbolic, energetic hand gestures.

Led by a classically-trained, registered yoga instructor, this workshop is an exploration of these very traditional and powerful "accessories" to your yoga practice. No prior yoga or meditation experience is required.  Please bring a yoga mat or something to make sitting on the floor comfortable.

Class: Meditation & Breath Work
Date: October 26, 2010
Cost: $25 Residents/$30 Non-Residents

Meditation is a way to access your inner self by quieting your busy mind and focusing your awareness on the present moment. Meditation can lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, reduce anxiety and stress and increase recognition of compulsive behavior patterns. In this workshop, we will explore meditation and breath work (pranayama) techniques for stress management and improved wellness. No prior yoga or meditation experience is necessary.  Please bring a yoga mat or something to make sitting/laying on the floor comfortable.

Class: Partner Yoga

Children must be at least 13 years old.  Work with 2 experienced yoga instructors to open your spines, find deeper breath, and release tension by practicing poses supporting each other and intertwined. Please bring a yoga mat and any other yoga props you may have.

Class: Yin Yoga
Date: November 30, 2010
Cost: $25 Residents/$30 Non-Residents

Yin Yoga targets connective tissue, specifically ligaments and tendons in the joints and spine. Over time, the Yin practice can lengthen these tissues, increasing range of motion. Yin concerns itself with freeing up bound prana (or chi, the life force) through static, supported poses which stimulate energy movement throughout the body, along its organ meridians. Yin is a complementary practice to flow yoga or any other active pursuit (running, cycling, team sports, etc.) Yin helps us move into stillness and release tension. Please bring a yoga mat and any other yoga props you may have.
