Therapeutic Yoga – This continuing class will focus on using yoga in a rehabilitory capacity. This class is intended for students who are recovering from an acute injury or are dealing with a chronic one. The class is also ideal for students who are limited in their flexibility and mobility due to chronic conditions and/or general fitness level. Chairs or bolsters will be provided for students who do not wish to practice sitting on the floor. Gentle Yoga – This class includes static stretches combined with slow movements and breathing to create and enhance overall body awareness. Students will learn how to quiet the body and mind with guided relaxation. Caution: students may reach a heightened level of inner stillness. Kundalini – Kundalini yoga is the process of taking mantra, meditation and yoga and blending them all together in Kriya or set. It can be both strenuous and gentle depending on your fitness level. This class is about personal experience. Each month will focus on a different chakra. Come expand your mind and increase your vitality. Introduction to Yoga – This 8-week series systematically and incrementally develops all the basic information that a person needs to practice competently and confidently in any of our other classes. New students should definitely take this class as their primer. Once graduating from this series, they can then choose another regular “drop-in” class to attend based upon their yoga needs, time constraints and general level of physical fitness. Current studio clients are also welcome and encouraged to take this introductory series if they need a “refresher course” of yoga basics. If you often feel like you are “behind” or “not doing it right” in your regular class, please consider the Intro Series. The next “Intro Series” will begin Thursday, October 23rd, 2008. Sign Up Today.Cost is $72. Beginning Yoga – Welcome to the practice! Whether this is your first class or you want to renew your experience with yoga, this class is appropriate. Class will include detailed explanations of (asanas) poses as well as their modifications and variations. Students will learn how to link postures together into smooth flows or "vinyasas." Yoga Basics I & II – 60 minute classes: These classes are well suited for students who either have some yoga knowledge under their belt or who have a stable foundation of physical fitness. Students will focus on building internal heat and moving deeper into postures. Some classes may include Sun Salutations. Pranayama/breathing exercises will also be examined. Mantra & Meditation - Join us the second Sunday of each month at 12 Noon – We'll be chanting, singing and drumming to awaken the soul. We'll use sacred sage smudging to honor the four elements of the earth and clear any surrounding negativity, allowing us to emanate the abundant beauty, light and loving energies shared with the universe. Follow this with a blissful, guided meditation to complete your weekend! Let’s celebrate the spirit! What to Bring
Key Benefits
Classes usually start and end by chanting "OM". This is not for
religious purposes. Chanting helps center the body and mind before class. It is also a breathing exercise that
helps create strong lungs. "OM" is the ultimate sound, all sounds are in OM and OM is in all sounds. Enjoy the
way OM feels when you chant it. If chanting is not your thing then by all means don't chant! This is your yoga! Send mail to cynthia@expansionsyoga.com with questions or comments
