Class Descriptions
Resilience Yoga: My signature all-levels mat yoga class in which I design for an intermediate level but often lead participants first into easier expressions of postures and then offer opportunities to “dial-up” the challenge if one desires and is ready for it.
Learn Yoga Basics: In this series for the true beginner, I assume no yoga experience or knowledge. The first Tuesday of each month begins a new series of ~4 classes (depending on how many Tuesday classes occur in a month), and we add new postures and a bit more challenge each week.
Gentle Yoga: A mat class that incorporates more warm-ups and then sticks with gentler postures, a slower pace, and encourages frequent use of props to keep the practice focused more on lubricating & loosening joints & muscles more than deep stretching and challenging strength.
Chair Yoga: A practice in which we do yoga breathing and then postures and other movements while seated or, depending on participants’ abilities, standing & holding on to a chair.
Meditation: A practice that incorporates various techniques in pranayama (breath control), mantra (verbalized or silent short phrases), body scan, candle-gazing, and more in order to still the waves of the mind.
Barre: A 45-minute class in which we do high-energy, ballet-inspired movements and static stretches as well as elements of yoga, Pilates & strength training while often holding on to a barre. Movements alternate between sets of slower, full-range movements and reps of faster, smaller pulses. Classes end with yoga as a cool-down and final stretch.
Mat Pilates: A class focused on strengthening and stretching the body’s “powerhouse”, consisting of the core, low back, pelvic floor, hips, and glutes.
”Bohemian” Tai Chi/Qigong: This 45-minute class is a stripped-down, simplified class of slow, continuous movements inspired by traditional Asian practices enabling one to gain the benefits of muscle loosening and enhanced muscle control & balance without the formal, rigid structure that normally takes many months or even years to fully learn.
