*Yoga this week M, W, F*

Post by lmt »

I am thrilled to be teaching yoga again this summer at the beautiful Community Center. Hard to believe it is our 10th year with summer donation yoga.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary of yoga at the center Sue S. and I have some special yoga classes planned.
For 10 years all classes have been donation based and all class proceeds are donated to the Community Center.
A HUGE thank you to the Community Center for trusting Sue S. and me to continue to teach at the center.

Classes fill quickly so come early! We have a mat for you.
Along with sharing this 4,000 yr. old practice with you, your generous donations for yoga have made an impact on supporting the Community Center for everyone's enjoyment.
Everybody wins!

No experience needed for any class, just a willingness to be playful and try the postures. Modifications are always offered. If you are saying to yourself "I can't do yoga, I am not flexible", only your mind needs to be flexible. We can all practice yoga; yoga is for every body! Both Sue S. and I (Lisa) have years of experience and training to make the postures accessible for everyone.

As with any physical exercise, you should consult your medical physician if you have any questions.

MONDAY~ BASIC VINYASA (flow) 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
We will slowly flow (Vinyasa) from one posture to another. Posture alignment will be explained giving students a greater opportunity to feel comfortable in attending this and other yoga classes, and more importantly to keep you safe. This class will help energize your entire body.
Great opportunity for any skill level to learn more about the postures & alignment.

Also MONDAY ~ THERAPEUTIC/CHAIR YOGA at 11:00 a.m. see separate Forum post

WEDNESDAY~ RESTORATIVE YOGA 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
Amazing benefits for 'restoring' the body and mind using seated postures held for longer periods of time while softening the muscles and encouraging passive stretching to work on the deep, dense connective tissues. With continued practice, these postures help bring balance & flexibility to the body. We invite you to take the opportunity to nurture your body, mind, and soul. BRING a small pillow and/or large towel if possible. THIS CLASS IS FOR ALL LEVELS.

FRIDAY~ BASIC VINYASA ~ 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
Start your Friday morning off with a yoga flow to energize you for your weekend on the island. Same description as Monday.

* Please arrive 10 minutes prior to class
* Mats, Blocks & Hand Towels available
* No perfumes should be worn
* Suggested not to eat or drink ONE hour prior to class (maybe a small coffee)
* Bottled water for sale at the counter or bring your own
* All level classes for everyone. If you have injuries or concerns please inquire on Therapeutic Yoga

All classes are $10.00 and your entire amount is donated to the Community Center. Sue S. and I have donated our time, purchased props, several students and Community center volunteers have also donated yoga props to allow us all to have a greater experience with our yoga classes. A donation is a sacred act of giving and you will place your $10.00 donation in the wooden box.
Your amount is greatly appreciated and has made an impact in supporting the center that we all love so much.

Private sessions are available. If you are interested in yoga for a particular health concern or want to learn inversions or just a deeper understanding of the foundation of yoga private sessions are a great way to go. Discount for multiple sessions. See Lisa.

Due to many wonderful events occurring at the Community Center, we advise you to check the center's web site, Facebook page and/or the forum for schedule changes.
Shanti [peace]
Lisa
