Yoga

All yoga classes are practiced as a meditation in motion. Classes include warm ups, breathing techniques, formal yoga postures, relaxation and stories. Posture, concentration and inner stillness are nurtured in every class. There will be candle light, soft music, a skylight, and in summer an open door to the roof garden. Mats are provided.

In Kripalu yoga every movement in the posture is synchronized with breathing, as conscious breathing stimulates a greater flow of prana
(life energy) into the body. It trains the mind to a greater ability
to look over one's own shoulder with humour, patience, and self-trust.

All yoga postures strengthen the alignment of the body. With
time the body will be strong, flexible, and calm, as an welcomed
by-product of Kripalu yoga

Every class nurtures body, mind and soul.

Classes held on a drop in basis. See schedule for class times.

Yoga & Chakras
8 week course October 26 - December 14, 2019

The Indian symbolic representations of the energy centres in our body are informative, enchanting, and memorable. They have the power to contribute substantially to our self-knowledge. In our traditional education in schools and colleges we learn little about the interplay between the right and left brain, the neocortex, the subconscious, our emotions and their influence on our actions and reactions. The Indian culture can make all this clear with easily understood images.

The result of contemplating the messages of the chakras will be self-appreciation, self-confidence in one's chosen choices, and a greater proximity to the yogic ideal of possessing an intelligent heart.

Don't miss this opportunity. If you can come to all Saturdays, that would be ideal, but you can also drop in, and we'll find a solution to make up for the missed experience.

Saturdays 12 - 1:30 p.m.

Tai Chi Chuan & Chi Kung

Beginning in the training of one's body,
practice continues with the training of one's spirit.
Finally one realizes that body and spirit are not two things but one.
This is true practice.
~Shigeru Egami
