The Yoga: A Balanced Practice with Carla Stangenberg from Jaya Yoga (Sold Out)

The Yoga: A Balanced Practice

This two-hour experience incorporates philosophy, chanting, mudra, asana, pranayama, meditation and Reiki savasana. The krama (sequence) is designed to move our attention from the outer physical body towards attention to subtle body experiences. Our philosophical guide will be the five Koshas. The asana portion will focus on a balance of standing work with floor work. Everyone is welcome. Modifications will be given for newer and more seasoned practitioners. All levels will benefit if one brings oneself wholeheartedly to the experience.

YIN & Pranayama Workshop with Sarah

Yin yoga is a quiet and simple practice targeting our deepest tissues in the body, connective tissue- ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep fascia networks of the body rather than the muscles. The poses are held for a long time.  It is a very therapeutic practice, allowing for deep healing in the denser tissues.  Sarah will carefully guide you in a journey of yin poses and teach pranayama (breath work) techniques. This class is open to all levels. $25.  Must pre-register to reserve your spot.
