Find out more info about David's ten week yoga intensive it is for those who wish to further their personal understanding of modern yoga.

The course is called SVADHYAYA, an ancient term for self-knowledge. That’s exactly what we will do! Every week the session explores a particular yoga and somatic practice. The intention is that through this study one develops the skills and foundational knowledge to begin and find their own way into these techniques.

Cost: $950

One Wednesday bimonthly:
April 30 6:15-7:30pm

During Yin and Pin, you will receive the benefits of yin yoga; long-held grounding poses, 4-8 minutes, aiding your flexibility, improving circulation, and enhancing range of motion. After movement you will find a resting position and a licensed acupuncturist will be inserting 4-6 needles strategically placed below the elbows and knees, on the head, and/or in the ears. Acupuncture uses thin, single use, sterilized, stainless steel needles inserted gently into specific points in the body to support your body's systems. Similar in concept to Prana, Chinese Medicine works with qi in the body to help harmonize both the body and the mind. The recognition of each seasonal and energetic shift within our planet and our bodies will direct the placement of the needles each time to honor these transitions. By combining acupuncture and yin yoga, we can tap more deeply into our quiet and powerful yin nature to support the nervous system and overall well-being. Come join us to experience the beautiful union of Chinese medicine and yin yoga! Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes.

Arrive prepared to melt away. This class is designed to help you fully release stress and bring your body and mind into a state of calm.

This is an all-levels class welcoming beginners, and is offered in a warm, comfortable room with an extra cushy yoga mat, bolster, blanket, and blocks provided for your support.

Sundays 10:00-11:30 am

Yin and Yang. Breath and Movement. Rest and Flow. 45 minutes of yin energy and 45 minutes of yang energy. Class will start with breath and meditation and slowly transition to a gentle flow. Upbeat music will guide us through movement postures eventually creating heat in the body as we continue to connect with breath. After reaching the crest of class, we will ground back down with long-held yin and restorative postures coming to rest. A unique experience led by both yoga guides Michelle and Bronson.

Thursdays 7:15-8:15pm

Grounding asanas held for 5-10 minutes followed by a rebound state allows for the lubrication of the joints, ligaments and stretches the facial tissue. The connective tissue that runs qí (life force energy) to all surfaces of the muscular-skeletal system. Yin yoga aids in flexibility, mobility and injury prevention. We will use somatic breathing techniques to explore the depths of our bodies and help foster repair and renewing. Props, such as bolsters, blocks, blankets, straps, etc are encouraged, but unlike in restorative yoga in which props support and hold you, we use props in yin to facilitate presence. In yin, we want to feel the stretch, sensation allows for conversation in the body.

(3 person minimum, 13 person maximum at $20.00/person)

Thursdays 6:15-7:00pm

A somatic interval training workout for the full body that incorporates vibrational sound, ecstatic dance, yoga, pilates, breath and other bodily expressions in repetitive movements played to the rhythmic beat of music. A pause will occur between songs creating a cathartic felt sensation which is seen, heard, and held. We move into set sequences, working on different parts of the body per song. We will shake, jump, lunge, push, and twist through stuck emotions. It’s more than a full body work-out, it’s a work-in. Bare feet or clean indoor tennis shoes are encouraged, some props such as light weights, bands, and blocks may be incorporated. *Incense may be burned prior to the start of class.

(3 person minimum, 9 person maximum at $20.00/person)
