Movement, Music, Mindfulness & Meditation artfully fused to create a unique
Hatha Yoga experience!
Come Celebrate the Joyful, Contemplative and constantly Evolving Spirit of
Yoga!
Practitioners will learn to mindfully integrate
breath with movement to develop and enhance body awareness, core stability, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and
concentration. Practitioners will also learn to make self-adjustments that accommodate their specific postural needs and support
their safe transition through dynamic sequences (vinyasa).
Classes may range in intensity from gentle to dynamic, yet are taught with compassion and an appreciation
for the diversity of body types. Relaxation and meditation techniques are incorporated to encourage self-study and well-being.Yoga Clinic ~
Each week this workshop will be dedicated to a specific part of the anatomy (such as the hips, shoulders, and abdominals)
to help students address certain physical imbalances and introduce a range of poses and their modifications to strengthen
and relieve tension in the body.
The Yoga Journey fuses movement, music, mindfulness and meditation into a practice for resolution
and renewal. Inspired by the teachings of Angeles Arrien [Four-fold Way], this series is suited for continuing
and experienced practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of yoga through a focused study of primary poses and
meditation. This class incorporates dya's signature blend of movement, music, mindfulness and meditation.
Yoga for Meditation takes a simple approach to demystifying the practice of meditation, making it more accessible for beginning practitioners:
steady breath, steady mind, steady body. This class will introduce gentle asana to address the
physical tensions that may hinder one’s ability to hold the body steady; meditation postures and modifications to suit
the individual; as well as breathing/relaxation techniques and other tools to develop one’s focus.
SANGHA
Sit + Study ~
This open hour of meditation and group reflection intends to nurture and support the collaborative learning community
("sangha") that organically arises whenever we come together to practice yoga. Here, we will share breath and mindfulness
through 10 minutes of silent walking meditation, 30 minutes of sitting meditation, and 20 minutes of group
discussion.
