Prenatal Yoga Series
September 24th-October 22nd
Every Tuesday
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Are you expecting or do you know a mama looking for some community?
Join us for our Prenatal Yoga series, where we embrace the unique challenges and joys of pregnancy, fostering a sense of togetherness while prioritizing the health and well-being of both mother and baby. This course is thoughtfully designed to empower you with mindfulness, physical strength, and relaxation techniques tailored to the journey of pregnancy.
We start each class by sharing our current joys (& not so happy moments) of pregnancy, as well as our experiences in the ever changing health care system. We then settle into practice with pregnancy specific meditations & kriyas, followed with gentle yoga designed to support the needs of the pregnant body & your sweet, growing baby.
Class concludes with deep guided meditation which teaches you to go into deep relaxation, the kind you will use when you give birth to your baby.
Yoga helps alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy: nausea, constipation, swelling, back pain, & sciatica. This class includes a mixture of balancing, strengthening & stretching poses that are appropriate during pregnancy, emphasizing breathing & relaxation.
Opening the Shoulders, Chest & Back with Taylor Hunt
October 13th
3:00pm-5:00pm
Shoulders are a key element in our yoga practice and having open shoulders is key to perform backbends, transitions, and inversions.Participants will learn proper movement of the shoulders as well as specific drills that will be useful in opening the shoulders in flexion and extension in order to increase range of motion. We will also focus on stretches that target the chest and upper back to release tension and address tightness in the upper body. Incorporating these techniques and drills into your routine will help you improve in postures like urdhva dhanurasana, kapotasana, pincha mayurasana, bhekasana, and many more.
Mysore with Taylor Hunt
October 14th
6:00am - 8:00am
In this self-paced workshop, participants of all levels, ranging from newcomers to seasoned practitioners seeking to enrich their understanding of Ashtanga yoga, are warmly welcomed. Under the guidance of Taylor Hunt, attendees will embark on a journey through the series, delving into each pose methodically, starting with Surya Namaskara A, and tailoring the practice to meet individual needs. Unlike led classes, where the pace is predetermined, Mysore-style empowers students to synchronize their breath with movement at their own rhythm, fostering a deeper sense of focus and meditation. This format offers a distinct advantage, allowing for personalized attention from the instructor to tackle challenging poses and advance one's yoga journey.
Yoga for Beginners
November 10th-24th
Sundays, 5:00pm-6:00pm
Are you interested in yoga, but worried that you won’t understand what’s going on, how to move your body or even the cultural norms of a yoga studio? Or have you tried a class and thought, what the heck is adho mukha svanasana - or even AH-DO WHO now? This workshop was designed for you.
We will break down what you need to know to feel comfortable showing up for a studio flow class and beyond! Learn standard movements and sequences like Warrior poses and Sun Salutations - and how to use blocks and other props to make these poses work for your body. At the same time, learn to recognize a little Sanskrit, link breath and movement, and demystify the yoga experience. Come, join us for three one-hour long sessions to build the basics, connect with a community, and find your flow!
