Dear Yoga Students,
This final week in September will include a review of several abdominal actions and inversions, with the addition of Pranayama at the end of each class.Through the intelligent actions of the legs and arms, we effectively tone the abdominal area and reach into the organic body and into the workings of the Nervous System.
Pranayama will be introduced at the preliminary supine level with the observation of the natural breath, filling evenly both sides of the lungs and chest, and progressing through stages of seated and more subtle stages of breathing through both nostrils.
I hope this catches your interest! Breath work is not work, it is a stepping back from the muscle and bone orientated effort of asana, and witnessing the vital, mysterious workings of the life-force: breath.
See you in the studio,
-Cathy

The owners, Liz and Carrie, have made beautiful and thoughtful changes to a big room--made bigger by removing walls and vaulting the ceiling. Radiant floor heat will keep us warm and storage space has been added to hold the props. I plan to have blocks, blankets, chairs and bolsters, and a few mats if you forget yours.
Other healing arts will be offered in this space and will be exciting to see this space grow in its potential to bring people together for healing and support. It has been a long, few years of yoga-at-home practice, or by zoom, or through books, let us come together now and feel the energy of a group of like-minded students, in a practice that ultimately allows for us to be of more genuine help to everyone around us. Thank you for sharing your practice time.

This hour-long session is dedicated to the experience of sitting silently. By joining others, we support one another in remaining still and alert for a specific length of time, and find out what the path of meditation has to offer us. There is no charge for this hour, although any amount you can donate will help pay for the rental of the space.
PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS STILL AVAILABLE
Private classes are 1 hour long cost $75
Semi-private (up to three friends) can split the cost of $75 per hour.
