Yoga~ M, W, F at the Community Center~ Functional Yoga

Post by lmt »

We are THRILLED to offer the Summer Yoga program again at the beautiful Community Center. This is the 6th summer of donation yoga at the center and I am honored to share this ancient practice with you. Your entire donation for yoga is making an impact on supporting the Community Center for everyone's enjoyment. Everybody wins!

The RESTORATIVE YOGA class will continue on Wednesday mornings. Like all yoga classes offered, no experience is needed and this class is absolutely for everyone (description below).
At the beginning of class a couple of standing postures will be taught. Mostly focusing on alignment, then to sitting restorative postures.

No experience needed for any class, just a willingness to be playful and try the postures. Modifications are always offered. If you are saying to yourself "I can't do yoga, I'm not flexible", only your mind needs to be flexible. We can all do yoga; yoga is for every body! If you are an active practitioner you can play with your own variations.

Donation of $10 to the Community Center ~

SCHEDULE:
MONDAY~ BASIC VINYASA (flow) 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. (only 1 hr vs. 75 mins)

We will slowly flow (Vinyasa) from one posture to another. Posture alignment will be explained giving students a greater opportunity to feel comfortable in attending this and other yoga classes,
and more importantly to keep you safe. This class will help energize your whole body.

Great opportunity for any skill level to learn more about the postures & alignment.

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

Amazing benefits for 'restoring' the body and mind using relaxing seated postures holding 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 small pillow and/or large towel if possible. Two standing postures will begin class focusing on muscle action and alignment.

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

Start your Friday morning off with a nice easy yoga flow to energize you for your weekend on the island. Same description as Monday.
