DROP-IN CLASSES

Mondays 5:30-7:00 pm Level 1-2
Wednesdays 8:30-10:00 am Level 2
          
Each class will offer a theme explaining aspects of yoga, pranayama and/or meditation. The classes are devoted to our individual and collective awakening. Through the practice of asana, pranayama and meditation we ignite our inner fire and light. Yin/Yang yoga offers us a practice to develop our receptive and active natures in a complementary way. The yin style of long-held passive poses opens the various channels so energy can move more easily through the body. The yang style then builds strength, stamina and vitality as we flow through vinyasa. Asana practice prepares us for pranayama and meditation. Through committed practice we have the chance to reveal ourselves layer by layer, uncovering our hearts and finding the compassion that links us all together as one world.
