restorative YOGA: 4-WEEK SERIES

with STACEY hartman

Sundays, March 30-April 27, 6:30 p.m., $90 No class Easter Sunday.

Restorative Yoga is a delicious way to release and relax. Restorative yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. During the long holds of this practice your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It’s a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body. All postures are done on the floor and are held for longer durations, with an emphasis on support and comfort. Relaxing breath techniques are added for total relaxation. the class uses bolsters, blankets, and blocks to prop students in passive poses.

Saturdays, April 19th, April 26th and May 3rd, 11:30 a.m.

Let’s get outside! Spring is a time to illuminate your path forward, to experience growth and bloom! Connecting with the great outdoors can have a positive impact on your overall health and wellbeing. Practicing yoga in a natural environment heightens your ability to come into the present moment while taking in the sights, sounds, and scents of nature. Relax while being led through a moderately paced hike and gentle yoga practice.

Each session will be practiced at a different hiking location. See individual session for details. Hikes will be approximately 3-4 mils each. No mat needed - all postures will be done from a standing position. Participants should wear hiking boots or shoes, bring water, and a snack if desired.

YIN YOGA FOR SPRING

with STACEY HARTMAN

Saturday, April 12th, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Yin yoga is often referred to as “the quiet practice,” which allows students to move more inward to a meditative state. Yin poses are a series of long-held passive floor poses that mainly work the hips, pelvis, thighs, and lower lumbar spine. The opposite of a muscle engaged yoga practice, we soften all of our muscles in each pose to allow all the fascia (connective tissue), ligaments, tendons and joints to be modestly stimulated. Some benefits to practicing Yin are increased mobility in the body (especially the joints and hips), brings a calm and balancing effect to the mind and body and can help you sit longer and more comfortably for meditation. Open to all levels and abilities.

This 2-hour workshop will focus on the season of spring and moving into shapes that benefit the meridians and organs associated with the season.
