Off the Mat and In To Life
A Special Summer Six Week Series
Thursdays, 9:30-11am, June 20 - August 1
While the practices of asana, pranayama and meditation can help us become stronger, more flexible, healthier and less stressed, the true intention of the Yoga practices is to transform our lives by learning to live in harmony with our true nature. The Yoga Sutras provide an ancient blueprint for the Yoga journey, illuminating the reasons why we practice, and how we can change our perceptions so that we can live in relationship with the world and all its inherent chaos from a place of peace and clarity. When we integrate these teachings in to daily life, our lives truly begin to transform.
Join us for six weeks of discovery in to the Yoga Sutras. We'll explore Yoga asana, pranayama and meditation as we weave different teachings from the Sutras in to each class. We'll talk about how take those teachings off the mat and in to our relationship with ourselves and the world with a free and open heart. Cyndi Bulka instructs. $80 for the series.   Drop In students are welcome. No class July 4.

Restorative Yoga

Sunday, June 23, 2:30-4:30pm

Restorative Yoga plays an important role of supporting us on our journey towards peace, happiness & health. The practice invites us to develop a deep sense of inner knowing and to carry that quality beyond our mats and into our lives. This very healing style of practice is unique in that it utilizes the support of lots of props to allow students to access poses of deep release with long, comforting holds.
Scientists have researched this powerful practice and confirm that Restorative practice lowers heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels; all which decrease anxiety & tension. At the same time, science found Restorative Yoga improves the immune functions, stabilizes moods, and provides a feeling of well being, and improved cognitive functions.  Julee Snyder instructs.  $25  Pre registration is strongly recommended.  Please call before dropping in to assure there is space.
