Dancing Yoga / Kripalu DansKinetics® /
YogaRhythmics® A vibrant experience of rhythm, movement, breath and energy through the body. Using music and rhythms from around the globe, we begin very gently with breath & slow exploratory movement. As the music continues, the breathing becomes more energized as well as our movements. The seven energy centers of the body (chakras) establish the structure of the sequence and the music provides the fuel. The class is a continuing 'work in progress' with different music, different movements, and different themes each time. A smorgasbord of delight! Our 'yoga' is to watch the process from the inside out and notice what's there. "Stuck" energy gets freed up and relaxation at the end integrates and replenishes the body. Over time dancing yoga becomes a practice for creating health and balance in many aspects of everyday life. Participants have reported feelings of...

| The Art of LovingKindness Metta Meditation & Hatha Yoga
Two Eastern traditions come together to bring us closer in touch with our true selves. Metta Meditation comes from the Buddhist tradition and connects us to our heart center to instill a sense of peace, harmony, and love for all. Hatha Yoga opens the body to let this wonderful loving energy flow through unobstructed. This class is open to all and usually offered on
alternate Sunday mornings. |

Yoga The Yoga of Sound What happens when you add the element of sound to a hatha yoga practice? The ancient yogi's understood the world to be made up of vibration or sound. Vibrations exist outside the body and inside the body. Frequently our inner vibratory rate is mis-matched with the external vibrations. This creates imbalance, dis-harmony, chaos & and of course stress. When we integrate the aspect of sound into our yoga practice things begin to smooth out, physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. This class is open to all and occasionally offered on
Sunday mornings. Come prepared to take a gentle hatha yoga class
and dress accordingly.
