Classes

Dantayama classes and workshops are designed to benefit the novice or beginning student as well as the more advanced or experienced students. The premise of this style of yoga, Dantayama Yoga, is “Support equals Release”. All props, including chairs, blankets, mats, blocks, straps and knee pads are provided for your convenience. We utilize these props to promote deep release and deep relaxation. When muscles are offered support, there is no longer a need to strain, and the natural effect is, the musculature will elongate and soften. Specific alignments and adjustments are applied as well as any modifications for students who have a particular limitation in a yoga pose. We like to affectionately refer to this style as rehab yoga!!

What is Qigong?  ‘Qigong’ can be translated as ‘Energy Work’ or ‘Energy cultivation or refinement’, and is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years in the Far East by millions of people to cultivate health, vitality, well-being, and longevity.  Through this ancient body/mind practice, we learn how to reduce stress and anxiety, strengthen our immune system, and improve our overall health.  We begin with the basics, and through simple coordinated movements with breath, self-massage, sound, and meditation, you will learn natural ways to feel energized yet calm, and learn how to strengthen your body’s own self-healing abilities.

Our practice generally starts by activating energy and opening the energetic pathways in our bodies through gentle movements, stretching, and breath.  We are then more able to clear out stagnant energies before bringing in fresh energy and circulating it through our body with flowing movements.  Once we’ve activated the energy this way, we can do some self-massage and acupressure for more targeted healing, as well as use other beneficial practices such as breathwork and meditation to more strongly activate our own self-healing medicine.  You will leave feeling calm yet energized, and regular practice will strengthen your health, feel less stress and anxiety, sleep better, and have a stronger immune system.

Want to have some fun getting your but kicked in yoga? Lets take out time setting up the proper alignment and use some hand weights to give our muscles a little extra challenge without being too hard on the joints. After all we only have one body, lets create a stable one and care for it so it doesn’t wear out too quickly;) We will use some music for motivation. There will be time for deep stretching followed by relaxation/ short meditation at the end to reset, recharge and renew.

This class is perfect for beginners or those who would like more time and support gettinging to poses and an overall slower pace. We will focus on proper alignment, breath work, stress relief, mobility and gentle stretching. After yoga poses are complete we finish with a guided relaxation and short meditation.

This is an accessible and simple practice that can be learned by anyone, regardless of their age or fitness level.  Five Element Qi Gong is a gentle movement practice that mirrors the flow of the seasons and balances your mind and body. When you feel balanced – physically, mentally and emotionally – you feel happy, healthy and whole. The routine we will be practicing is based on the 5 Element Theory of acupuncture.  The five elements, or seasons, represent the flow of energy in nature as well as in you. These elements consist of metal (autumn), water (winter), wood (spring), fire (summer), and earth (harvest). Each class will change with the seasons and consist of gentle stretching, breathing, flowing movements and meditation.

Cost: $15

Jason is an acupuncturist and eastern medicine practitioner with over 15 years of Qi Gong experience.  You can find out more about him and his practice at www.jtacupuncture.com

This class blends 2 styles of yoga. It is about 50% deep therapeutic stretching (YIN) and 50% active flow (Yang). For those who want a truly balanced practice. Yin yoga is a slower pace where poses are held longer to attend to the fascia/ connective tissues. Yang is more active working on the muscles, stamina, strength and blood flow. Come find harmony within yourself.
