YOGA, BREATH AND PRANAYAMA

with Patsy Gaetano

Sunday mornings, 8:45 - 10:15 am
March 07 to April 11
$90 for six weeks ($18 drop-in rate)

Pranayama is one of the most beneficial practices of Yoga. This practice works with the breath in somewhat exaggerated depth and rhythms, in the hopes that when we return to our normal breath, it will naturally be deeper, slower and smoother. These qualities of the breath help to lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate and take us to a level of the nervous system that induces calm and steadiness. Pranayama is a time-tested method for building Prana, the life force of our bodies. We will touch on the use of the Bandhas (energetic locks) that help us to retain this energy. Seated Pranayama will be introduced.

Menopause is a natural life transition. It harbors potential for rejuvenation, transformation and growth. The Shakti creative principle of the Universe is transforming its expression in our bodies, minds and souls. It is a season of life to be celebrated!

Gentle Chair Yoga

with Patsy Gaetano

Saturday mornings, 8:00 - 9:00 am
June 19 to July 31, 2010 (no class July 3)
$90 for six weeks ($18 drop-in rate)

In this Yoga class students will practice Yoga in a manner that is slow paced, gentle and supported. All postures will be practiced either seated in a chair or using the support of the chair while standing. Modifications and alternative poses will be offered as needed. Students will be encouraged to respect the limits of their bodies, while exploring individual means of expansion within those limits. Simple and safe methods of increasing both flexibility and strength will be offered. The use of Yoga props such as blankets, bolsters and straps will further support us in the deeply relaxing Restorative Yoga poses. Students will be encouraged to create a short personal Chair Yoga Routine to serve their individual needs and that could be practiced at home.

For more information, see our flyer.
