Yoga is one of the oldest "holistic" health-care systems in existence, focusing on both the mind and body. Through the practice of yoga postures and breath work, you can connect with your body and mind and discover your spirit; yoga is the art of listening to all parts of your Self. Hatha yoga postures linked with the breath have a powerful effect on all systems of the body providing the energy to age gracefully, stay fit, improve circulation and posture, loosen and lengthen knotty muscles, reduce stress, increase bone density, and promote relaxation at the end of the day. Please bring a yoga mat. Recommended props include a cushion and/or yoga blanket, blocks, bolster, and strap. Covid 19 safety protocols will follow state and school district recommendations for in-person events.

Yin Yoga is a gentle, supportive practice that targets deep connective tissues, like fascia and ligaments, as well as, the joints and bones of the body. Positions are held for longer periods of time, allowing for deep release in areas that have tension and “tightness” built up.The longer holds allow stretching and lengthening to occur in areas and tissues rarely used and/ or accessed. Intentional breathing skills are covered to offer the possibility of remaining present in stillness. A focus on 1 of the 7 Chakras(the body’s energy centers) will be addressed in each class. Opportunity to learn about the Chakras while in physical practice deepens the mind/body connection. No class 4/21.
