Slow Flow Yoga – Focused on breath and body awareness, we will hold poses for 5-10 breaths. Class will begin with grounding and breath work and move into a warm up, guided standing sequence, and then cool down stretches on the mat. Yoga flows will change week-to-week to keep students engaged and learning new transitions and pose variations.
Meditative Yoga – Poses will be held longer, for 3-5 minutes as in the yin style of yoga. Poses are generally seated or laying down. Modifications will be taught so all levels of flexibility and experience can find peace in the pose. Class will end with a 5-10 minute guided meditation. Bring your own blanket or small pillow to deepen your comfort in the practice.
Relaxation Yoga – Beginning with breath work and a grounding pose, we will move through gentle seated flows to unwind your body and relax your mind. Ideal for the end of a busy day or a difficult workout. Bring your own blanket or small pillow to elevate your relaxation.
My senior center classes are all modeled after one of these formats. Yoga I and Yoga II are slow flow yoga and gentle yoga is relaxation yoga.
I have been teaching yoga since January of 2022. In my classes, you will be welcomed as you are. I strive to design classes that are accessible for everyone, but still challenging to most. I regularly practice yoga outside of my own teaching and continue to learn and grow as both teacher and student every day. I hope you will join me on this journey through life and discover something new and beautiful about yourself through developing your own yoga practice.
