Fall preview. Schedule and class descriptions.

I’m excited to offer a full schedule of public classes this fall at Community Fitness & 5focus. In addition to my regular schedule of public classes, I’ll be offering monthly workshops as well as private & semi-private classes. Please stay tuned for my workshop schedule and email me about private & semi-private classes.

Blessings.

Here’s the fall line-up:

Family Yoga at Community Fitness. Mondays, 4:30-5:20pm.

{first class on September 15th.}

This class allows adults and children to explore yoga together as a family. Family yoga uses games, yoga poses, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to create a foundation for health and wellness that can be appreciated at any age. The physical benefits of practicing Family Yoga include increased strength, flexibility, coordination, and posture. This class also fosters an understanding, loving relationship between parents and children and encourages open-hearted communication. Parents are welcome to bring more than one child to this class, and kids are welcome to bring more than one parent. This class is designed for children eight years and older.

Juicy Joints Yoga at 5focus. Mondays, 6:30-7:30pm.

Kids Yoga at Community Fitness. Tuesdays, 4:30-5:20pm.

Young yogis learn about the world, themselves and YOGA through this creative class. Using games, storytelling and songs, students move into yoga poses. This class fosters creativity, confidence, stamina, balance and coordination while instilling a sense of joy, kindness and stewardship into young ones. This class is designed for students ages 5-9.

Hatha Flow Yoga at Community Fitness. Tuesdays, 5:30-6:20pm; Thursdays, 7:30-8:20pm. {ongoing drop-in classes. come anytime!}

Hatha means sun-moon in sanskrit, the ancient language of yoga. Hatha yoga is intended to create balance in the body. This class fosters a balanced, rejuvenative state by linking the breath and body through a sequence of flowing postures followed by sequences where postures are held longer. These classes are appropriate for students of all levels, as special attention is paid to alignment throughout the practice. Learn pose mechanics of all poses, including inversions, arm balances and backbends in a safe, supportive environment. Hatha flow yoga classes also include short chants and pranayama (breathing exercises) and weave yogic philosophy into the class through readings and meditations. Hatha flow yoga is a whole yoga class for the whole yogi.

Bliss Flow Yoga at 5focus. Fridays, 11:45am-12:15.

{first class on October 3rd.}
