YOGA at the Community Center is back

Post by lmt »

We are back! Sue S. and I will again be teaching yoga at the beautiful Community Center this summer.
First class MONDAY JUNE 25TH at 9:30 a.m.

We are THRILLED to offer the Summer Yoga program again at the beautiful Community Center. This is the 9th summer of donation yoga at the center.

The first class is Monday June 25th at 9:30 a.m. 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 do yoga; yoga is for every body! The classes mainly focus on the asana's (poses) the 3rd Limb of Yoga.

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 whole body.

Great opportunity for any skill level to learn more about the postures & alignment.

Also MONDAY ~ THERAUPETIC/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 relaxing seated postures holding 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. Two standing postures will begin class focusing on muscle action and alignment.

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

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. 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 a private sessions are a great way to go. Discount for multiple sessions. See Lisa.
