"If you're looking for happiness, look no further - it's already inside you, and there are plenty of ways to uncover it on and off the yoga mat."  ~Emma Newlyn

Join Vanessa, Dana and DJ Rise Ashen for this 2 hour upbeat flow practice with LIVE MUSIC. We will explore the yogic teachings of Santosha (contentment) through this playful flow. The practice of Santosha can act as a lighthouse to bring more contentment and well-being into our daily life. We will use the yogic tools of vinyasa, pranayama, and meditation to experience Santosha and cultivate our capacity to connect with it's teachings on and off the mat.

DJ Rise Ashen will be creating a blissful live music experience to accompany the practice and support us on our journey of connecting, growing and practicing together.

Let's come together to celebrate the shifting seasons and this beautiful community we are a part of. This is a practice of gratitude, connection, contentment and celebration.

Ever find yourself asking the questions, "Am I doing this right?" "Where I am supposed to feel it?" "How can I modify?" "How the heck does this breathing work?" 

 

This 4 week series is for those who are curious and want to learn. It's for those who may lack confidence to join a group class and are fairly new and wanting to clarify alignment.  It's also geared to those with experience looking to fine-tune.

 

Not flexible or strong enough? Do not fear- there is no such thing. Yoga is accessible for all and this series will give you the tools needed to feel comfortable & confident in any class.

We will begin with the basics of practicing: proper etiquette, beginner tips and breathing technique. Every week will have a different theme and will break down a section of yoga poses (asana). Once we have looked at the specifics of alignment and addressed any modifications necessary, we will then integrate what we've covered with a short yoga class to solidify what you've learned. The postures will progress from one week to the next, building upon what you have already learned. You will leave each 90-minute session with great tips and pointers, which you can integrate while taking other classes.

Space is limited, which means plenty of one-on-one attention, lots of opportunities for questions, and a safe, intimate setting.

Dive into this 2.5 hour class exploring the vital connection between breath, movement, and the mind.

 

Through different breathing techniques, we will stimulate the energetic pathways that help move energy through the body. The way that we breathe directly affects the way we feel. As we begin to connect to and deepen our breath, the way we feel, the way we move begins to shift towards greater peace and balance.

 

In this practice, we will explore different pranayama techniques and the benefits that they offer us in daily life. The breath can be a vital tool during times when we need to energize, times when we need to calm and times when we need to balance.

Expect some discussion, gentle movements, pranayama, sound work and meditation.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring anything (blanket, meditation cushion) that might make you more comfortable.
