Class Descriptions
Bliss Meditation
Owner / Instructor: Joseph Rolley
Mondays and Fridays 8:00am – 8:45am
Bliss Meditation explores breath, sound, the chakras and stillness. This is an ideal class for beginners. It is also a good class for experienced mediators who wish to deepen their practice.
Gentle Yoga
Owner/Instuctor: Zachariah Walker
Monday 9:00am – 10:15am
This yoga class is designed to be gentle, grounding, and restorative. Focusing on breath work to ease and deepen into poses allows students to relax muscle tension and access greater mind and body awareness. Principles of alignment and the cultivation a positive and present mindset are additional benefits from the class. Individual attention and instructor assists in postures ensure a holistic and therapeutic personal experience.
Compassionate Communication Classes
Owner / Instructor: Kathy Ziola
Mondays 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Classes in Compassionate Communication are based on the work of Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. We learn and practice the tools for a new paradigm of relating, the purposes of which are to create a quality of connection in which people give and receive from the heart and to create a world in which everyone’s needs matter and we meet those needs peacefully. Classes consist of information, practice and sharing. Examples of topics include: Foundations of Compassionate Communication, Authentic Expression, The Power of Empathy, Self Empathy, Anger and Compassion. The Living Energy of Needs, Healing & Reconciliation, Dialogues and Role Plays, Speaking Peace, Self-Connection and Presence, Parenting with Compassion, Couples’ Communication, Compassionate Communication in the Workplace, Conflict to Dilemma, Exploring Power Dynamics in Relationships. Other topics will be presented.
Breathwork Sessions
Owner / Instructor: Kathy Ziola
TBA
This work is an opportunity for utilizing circular breathing for healing, release and energizing. It is a tool for deep cleaning your whole being; body, mind, emotions and spirit. Working with the breath using this modality assists you in becoming aware of your blockages to total well-being and using the breath of life to facilitate powerful shifts in the flow of energy through you, giving you greater access to your inner resources and full presence. We process thoughts and beliefs and learn to become present with what is alive in us.
Morning Qigong
Owner / Instructor: Sonny Ramsey
Tuesdays 8am
Morning Qigong combines self-massage of acupoints, sitting meditation, mudras (hand forms), visualization of the elemental properties of the body, healing sounds and gentle stretching. This approach produces calmness and inhibits the heart from “galloping away,” thus leading the practitioner into a state of silence and peace a little at a time. Wake up, fight stress and maintain a grounded and focused day.
Hatha Yoga
Owner / Instructor: Suzanne Bjorge RYT
Monday 6:15pm-7:30pm Level 2. Includes inversions and arm balances.
Tuesday 9:00am – 10:15am Chocolate Box yoga: You never know what you’re gonna get. We begin our practice with a cup of tea and a morsel or two of chocolate. The class might be Restorative, or Hands & Mudras, or Basics & Fundamentals, or a Feet Retreat. This is a class for all levels.
Thursday 6am-6:45am Free 45 min All Levels class, then 45 min personal practice time.
Thursday 4:00-5:00 Beginner-Level 1. Foundations, flexibility, and strengthening.
Mindful Eating
Owner / Instructor: Paula Anderson
Paula explores our complex and often challenging relationship with food over a light supper of soup or vegetable dish. She emphasizes that eating is a practice, not unlike yoga, where we “come to the mat” every time we encounter food. This spring she will begin featuring a different fruit or vegetable, always focusing on in-season produce first. Her goal is to offer a simple, affordable approach to eating well and becoming healthier.
Yogong
Owner / Instructor: Joseph Rolley
Tuesdays 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Yogong combines the structure and discipline of yoga with the fluidity and playfulness of Qigong. Yogong relieves stress by combining Hatha Yoga, Chinese Energy Movement , Posture Alignment and Breathwork. From physiology we know that muscle tissue can only stretch by relaxing. Attempting to stretch a muscle that is in a state of tension is like attempting to cycle up a hill with the brakes on! Breathing and gentle movement play a major role in releasing tightness in the muscles. In this class you will learn how to do more by doing less.
Beginner’s Yoga and Meditation
Owner / Instructor: Joseph Rolley
Wednesdays 8:00am – 8:45am
Beginner’s Yoga and Meditation explores basic yoga postures that calm and relax the body. The meditation practice focuses on attention to the breath to calm and relax the body. This is an ideal class for beginners. It is also a good class for experienced mediators who wish to deepen their practice.
Yoga Therapy and Asana
Owner / Instructor: Zachariah Walker
Wedsdays 9:00am – 10:30am
The curriculum for this class cycles each week of the month. Week #1 Feet and Knees, #2 Hips and Thighs, #3 Spine, #4 Neck and Shoulders, #5 Hands and Wrists. The foundation of the therapy is based on Anthony Bogart's "Health & Freedom: Transforming injury and illness into opportunity” taught from the intuitive perspective of Zachariah. It also includes hands on adjustment, individual attention to student needs, yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, the use of chanting and vibrational healing, and investigations of the emotional connections to physical ailments.
Level 1 and 2 Anusara Inspired Yoga
Owner / Instructor: Abbie Moore
Wednesdays 6:00pm – 7:15pm
Based on the highly therapeutic Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment and beginning with a heart-oriented theme this class is rooted in technical, physical and philosophical alignment. This full spectrum class is a journey offering physical challenges, relaxation, breathwork, guided meditations and ultimately aspires to celebrate the human body and experience.
Functional Wisdom
Owner / Instructor: Analii Cunningham
Thursdays 9:00am – 10:15am
Saturdays 9:00am – 10:15am
Functional Wisdom is an approach that brings the innate and individual wisdom of the body by identifying restrictions, habit patterns and establishes thoughtful articulation, clarity and validation of subtle changes. This approach can transform everyday movement, yoga posture and other forms of our physical practice into one that we understand to be our own unique experience. A combination of movement techniques, breath and yoga asana will be learned each time from a new perspective allowing for the limitless potential of mind, body and spirit to emerge.
Freestyle Flow Yoga
Owner/Instructor: Zachariah Walker
Thursday 5:15 pm
This asana-focused class is an exploration of the movement into and between yoga poses. By starting with the stable foundation of breath work and proper alignment and moving through a connective flow this becomes an energizing and empowering experience. Opening to grace with awareness in each moment moves us beyond the mindset of determined destination and teaches us to appreciate the journey.
