GENTLE YOGA
Living Yoga's gentle yoga
class focuses on an exploration of the elemental building blocks of the
practice and how to
connect them through attention to breathing and proper alignment.
Therapeutic
in nature, you will learn techniques to help you gain
flexibility, while immersing yourself in a relaxing
class that moves at a
perfectly slower pace - allowing ample time to enjoy each pose. Expect
lots
of stretching and lingering in supported seated poses. Pranayama
(breathing techniques), Meditation
and relaxation techniques will be
introduced. Perfect for stress relief and overall well being.
This class will help students overcome injuries, those new to yoga, will
help pregnant women prepare
their body and mind for labor and delivery
will ease postnatal students back to their regular practice,
and great for
students of all levels who want a more gentle practice. Posture
modifications will be
offered to suit your level, your injury and for each
trimester of pregnancy. (All levels)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Living Yoga we want to extend many opportunities for students to be
able to fit our class times into
their schedule as well as offer
students the opportunity to begin where they are on any particular day
at
any Living Yoga class. Therefore, all our classes (except for
Led Primary Series classes) are for students
of all levels and students can attend any class without prior
experience. At any given class there may be
a student who is
experiencing their first yoga class, a student who is returning after
years away from the practice, and a student who practices 3 times per
week. The individuality of all students contributes to
the collective
energy of each class, making each experience unique and special.
If you are new to the practice and do not feel ready to come to an all
levels class, we recommend
beginning with the Gentle
Flow, Anusara-Inspired, or Mysore classes and
join the other classes once you
feel comfortable doing so.
**For pregnant students: Although most health care professional will
enthusiastically give the go ahead
for beginning or continuing yoga during
your pregnancy, we request that you speak with your health care
professional prior to attending classes. Also, it is required that you
talk to the teacher leading that particular class prior to attending class
so they can evaluate where you are at in your current practice and/or
discuss your pre-pregnancy fitness level. If you have high blood pressure
and/or complications
during your pregnancy, it may be suggested that you
take a break from your practice or continue your practice with one-on-one
private sessions.
If you have any questions and/or would like guidance about where to
begin your yoga practice, please
call us,
e-mail us or come by the
studio.
