WINTER SESSION: begins February 19!

Anusara yoga is so powerful that sometimes it seems like magic.  Often we engage a certain action or movement that totally opens us up to unbelievable freedom.  Let’s figure out how that happens!   We’ll begin with an overview of the life-affirming philosophy that supports our method, and each week we’ll dig into the essential elements of one Universal Principle of Alignment™, exploring its magic in every pose.  We’ll work sequentially with handouts and discussion with plenty of time for questions, contemplations and demonstrative asana.  As we build sequentially through the eight weeks, we’ll gain powerful understanding of the optimal alignment for our bodies and unbelievable freedom of movement and expression in our yoga practice and everyday actions.

Wednesdays, Feb. 15 - Mar. 21 10:00-11:30am

How many times have we joked, while grunting and sweating through a tough yoga class, about our unsuspecting friends who tell us, “yoga must be so relaxing!”  Well, this kind really is!  Restorative yoga is a slower, gentler way to practice asana with the help of props to hold us comfortably in the poses for longer, more restful periods of time than in your regular classes.  This gives our muscles and bones an opportunity to relax in alignment, which calms our nervous system and allows for deep healing to occur.  We will begin by warming up gently, moving with the breath to create some heat in the body, then we’ll rest into the same familiar biomechanical alignment we already know and love, with the help of a few props so that we can relax there.  Guaranteed to leave you feeling nourished, rested and refreshed.  Classes will conclude with meditation and deep relaxation.
