Beginners Workshop
Would you like to start practicing yoga but are intimidated by attending classes? Perhaps you haven’t practiced in a while and would like to renew your practice at a more relaxed pace? Do you need a little help with alignment or need to review yoga basics? The Beginners Workshop is just what you need!
This Saturday, January 14, from 9 – 11 a.m., we will be holding our Beginners Workshop again. During this workshop we’ll give you an overview of what yoga is as well as teach you the fundamentals needed for any effective yoga practice. We’ll teach the basics of yoga postures and how to work with, rather than against, your body while showing you how to modify postures to work best for you. Basic breathing techniques are also demonstrated and taught.
Questions are always encouraged but especially so in the Beginners Workshop. This is the perfect time to ask those questions that arise during regular classes but that you don’t ask because you don’t want to disrupt the flow of class. This workshop is open to everyone and is accessible to anyone regardless of your experience, strength or flexibility.
This workshop is free, so bring some friends and enjoy a pleasant morning with us at the studio. See you there!
Jai Bhagwan!
Read MoreYoga Nidra Schedule
For those of you who have attended a Yoga Nidra session, you know how relaxing and refreshing it can be. The only negative feedback we get is that some students cannot attend! We hope to create more ease for students to attend so are changing our scheduling a bit for our Yoga Nidra sessions.
Beginning this month, we will be offering Yoga Nidra throughout the week instead of solely on Saturday evenings, as we have previously done. Now, this will require a bit of effort on your part to check the studio calendar for the date and time of the next session. We will be moving the dates and times around and will be periodically holding them in place of regular asana classes, so please remember to check the online calendar as well as the notice board in the studio (the silver one by the door). As a session approaches we will remind you during classes as well as posting it on the Facebook page and the front page of our website, so please remember to check often.
New Year’s Resolutions 2012
It’s a New Year and that means staying up late to say goodbye to the old year, to ring in the new one and to set resolutions. Most people set resolutions and most people include health goals as part of their resolutions and by February, most people have given up on their resolutions.
It is quite likely that you have already made some resolutions and that improving your health is, in one way or another, one of your resolutions. We would like to help you not be like most people this year. We offer five fantastic kinds of classes that will help you keep your resolutions this year:
Yoga Simplified
This 60 minute class is, as the name suggests, a wonderful place to begin your practice of yoga. If you are a long time practitioner, this is a great class to refresh your practice.
Yoga Modified
This 60 minute class is a shortened version of the Amrit Yoga posture sequence for the student who is familiar with the basic postures and breathing exercises. This class will help you explore how yoga can follow you off your mat into your everyday life.
Yoga Regular
This 85 minute class is based on the full Amrit Yoga posture sequence along with time for meditation. If you are familiar with the postures and want to add more meditation to your practice, this class is perfect for you!
Restful Yoga
A 60 minute class that is exactly what the name says: Restful. Class focuses on gentle stretching of large muscle groups to help ease the body into a warm and relaxed state. As the body relaxes, the mind begins to relax as well. This class truly does rest the body and the mind.
Yoga Nidra
This occasional class—check the studio calendar for the next scheduled class—uses guided meditation to create a state of conscious deep sleep that releases deep tensions, eases away stress and allows the body and mind to be completely at ease and peace.
Workshops
In addition, we offer workshops to strengthen and enhance your yoga practice. This month’s workshop is our Beginners Workshop Saturday, January 14, 2012 9-11 am. This is a free workshop and will give you an overview of what yoga is as well as teach you the fundamentals needed for any effective yoga practice.
Jai Bhagwan,
Ramdas & Dhruti
