Yamuna Body Rolling

This class has been CANCELED today
Focus Class for Hips and Legs
$35 per person, pre-registration required.

Imagine your body at its max-mastering a sport or fitness practice, achieving total flexibility, or just feeling a degree of better that enhances everything you do in life.

With Yamuna Body Rolling, this image becomes your reality. YBR is both a powerful workout and a relaxing deep-tissue massage-that you do yourself!

YBR works by creating space in the body, in any area where you feel pain or discomfort, there’s compression or restriction due to tight, contracted muscles. The YBR ball applies traction that creates space around joints and vertebrae and lengthens muscles so they can fully release. As you follow the routines you unwind and free up your entire body, giving all its parts the space they need to function fully, eliminating restrictions and relieving the effects of everyday stress.

Chair Yoga Workshop

Join dian fitzpatrick, MS, RYT, of Honor Your Body Yoga on Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 12-2pm
$35 per person

Being able to get up and down on a yoga mat is not neccessary to enjoy the benefits of a healthy yoga practice.

Chronic conditions, knee and back limitations, aging and balance often stop a person from trying yoga and they should not; a chair as a yoga prop is an amazing tool. Balancing, bending, relaxation!

Already a Yogi/Yogini? Learn how to use a chair so you may do yoga no matter where you are!

Class size is limited so reserve your space early.

Simply Relax - a Restorative Yoga Experience

September 12 Class will be held at Soraci Physical Therapy.

This is a gentle, relaxing class in which the body is completely supported with blankets, bolsters, straps, and other props in each posture. By using the props, the muscles of the body begin to soften and accept the postures, thereby allowing a deeper release. This practice benefits the student on many levels. On a physical level, tension is released and space and openness are created in the body; on a mental level, the mind is quieted and focused; on an emotional level a sense of well being and ease is achieved. Participants will also explore supported pranayama, visualization, deep relaxation, and seated meditation to integrate the practice.

*$35 per person; pre-registration is required. Space is limited to 10 participants.*

Private Restorative Yoga Sessions

The many benefits of restorative yoga include:

• Openness in the ribcage, shoulders and chest which increase breath capacity
• Muscle flexibility by fully supporting the body in different asanas allowing for a deeper stretch
• Deep relaxation, release of tension and tiredness

• A quiet, calm mind

  Private sessions are designed specifically for the indivdual’s needs and include alignment adjustments, gentle massage, and deep relaxation. These sessions are appropriate for the experienced practitioner as well as the beginner and those with knee and back problems.

  Call today to schedule your appointment.

  *$75 per hour, by appointment only.*
