Beginning Tai Chi is designed to acquaint the student with Tai Chi practice and foundational movements. Although Beginning Tai Chi will prepare students to learn more complex Tai Chi forms, participants can also opt to continue practice at this level indefinitely.

Mindful Flow
Mindful flow explores of elements of a typical vinyasa class with a heightened sense of awareness. Students will be encouraged to dive deep into the present moment, allowing the breath—a vehicle of prana, or life force—to guide all movement and illuminate areas of tension in our physical and energetic bodies. The breath will be used to release this tension and support holistic healing. Cultivating mindfulness throughout each step of the class transforms the physical asana practice into a moving meditation.

Sunset Yoga
We delve into the myriad benefits of yoga practice through basic pranayama (breathing practices); yoga sequences emphasizing alignment, breathing, and conscious movement; and reflection on yoga philosophy as it applies in our practice and in our daily lives. We strive to make each class a well-rounded session that leaves every participant feeling relaxed, renewed, and well-nourished in body, mind, and spirit. Moderate intensity; some knowledge of yoga helpful but not required.

Yoga Nidra Meditation
Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative sleep based meditation that has the power to take you to the innermost, deepest levels of relaxation where your whole body and being is permeated by peace of mind and profound stillness. Yoga Nidra is composed of a series of body, breath and awareness techniques designed to remove mental and emotional disturbances and drop you into a profound state of restful awareness. The self-healing, self-balancing mechanism of the body awakens and vital energy flows freely—regenerating the body, and restoring balance to mind and emotions. As stress-producing conflicts fade away, inner harmony grows.

Monthly Restorative Respite
Join us for this practice of stillness and release. Through the slow, simple movements of Somatic Yoga, our class begins by softening muscles and connective tissues that contribute to pain and tension. We then move into the Restorative Yoga experience where we will explore 4-5 yoga poses, completely supported by props. These poses are passive rather than active, meaning that the muscles are in a state of near complete relaxation allowing the mind to soften and surrender. Poses are held for 5-10 minutes each depending on the posture. Our class finishes in deep relaxation with a fusion of guided meditation, mindfulness, and yoga nidra (yogic sleep) often accompanied by the healing vibrations of singing bowls.
