YOGA @ Community Center 7/16 & 7/18

Post by lmt »

If you missed Yoga on Monday, take the time for yourself and join us at the beautiful Community Center Wednesday & Friday. We'll have a mat and block waiting for you!

This year we are adding a RESTORATIVE YOGA class on Wednesday mornings. Like all yoga classes offered, no experience is needed and this class is absolutely for everyone (description below).

No experience needed for any class, just a willingness to be playful and try the postures! If you are an active practitioner you can play with your own variations.

Suggested donation of $10 to the Community Center~ donations are privately dropped in a closed box
All donations are appreciated!


MONDAY~ BASIC VINYASA ~ (flow) 9:30 - 10:45 a.m.

We will flow (Vinyasa) from one posture to another. Posture muscle action will be explained giving students a greater opportunity to feel comfortable in attending this and other yoga classes. We will flow through a sequence that will help energize your whole body.
Great opportunity for any skill level to learn more about the postures & alignment.

WEDNESDAY~ RESTORATIVE YOGA~ 9:30 - 10:45 a.m.

Amazing benefits for 'restoring' the body and mind using relaxing seated (mostly) postures for longer periods of time while softening the muscles and encouraging passive stretching to work on the deep, dense connective tissues. With continued practice these postures help bring balance & flexibility to the body. We invite you to take the opportunity to nurture your body, mind, and soul. BRING a firm pillow and/or large towel if possible.

FRIDAY~ BASIC VINYASA ~ 9:30 - 10:45 a.m.
description above

Mr. BI Pirate,

I believe the lovely Julie Martin may have a chair waiting for you on Tuesdays.

But, you are always welcome to challenge your sitting skills with Restorative Yoga on Wednesday mornings at the Community Center. If you're feeling really feisty, join us M or F for Basic Yoga.

All classes are donation based, and 100% of your generous donation benefits the center.

I'll have a mat waiting for you! Oh, and we do a lot of laughing so don't show up all serious. :P
Shanti [peace]

Thank you for the invitation to Yoga. You might be peaking my interest especially with Vinyasa which I have reason to believe is code for the wine growing region (viny) of the Alpine Swiss Alps (asa) which sounds great when used with the word "flow". :shock:
The only hang up is the time frame, at 10:00, I'm having a glass or two with Kathy Lee and Hoda. :D Is it possible we could watch them on the flat screen while doing Yoga :?: :wink:
