"Asana Practice is not about using your body to get into the pose. It is about using the pose to get into your body."  

Each yoga practice presents an opportunity to re-connect with your body, enhance your flow of vital energy, explore your edge mindfully, and find stillness of spirit. Practices are taught in a supportive, non-competitive nature and are open to all levels of practitioners. All classes are 90 minutes.

Class Descriptions

Yin Yoga: The yin style blends yoga asanas with taoist meridian theory and mindfulness meditation techniques. Postures are held in the range of 3-5 minutes with muscles relaxed to target the connective tissue and organ systems. This slower form allows the asanas to be experienced as containers for self inquiry through a gradual subtleizing of attention as the practice opens into deeper layers of interiority.

Organic Flow: A spontaneously sequenced  form of vinyasa flow that encourages mindful exploration of the postures amidst an invigorating  combination of fluid movement and deeper, prolonged holds. This practice incorporates elements of vinyasa, kundalini, pranayama, meditation, and chanting.

Yin-Yang Fusion: Designed to train up both our active and receptive modes of being. More rajasic or "type a" people will be met where they are while also beginning to develop techniques for slowing down and introspection. More tamasic or "mellow" people will also be met where they are while also beginning to develop techniques for enlivening their system. The practice  offers  people of both constitutions a more sattvic, or balanced practice leaving them in a state of energized clarity and centeredness.

Wake Up Practice: Wake up slow in the tranquil setting of the beautiful Shimmering Pines, a 7 acre eco-sanctuary. The practice room is surrounded by nature and the early morning dew and sounds of birds singing and breezes blowing through the open doors and windows. When we take time to sensitize ourselves to nature and entrain to it's morning rhythms we are left feeling connected to our essential nature of peace. This practice starts with slow, gentle stretches to open the body and breath. It gradually awakens the spine and evolves into a slow flow "yinyasa" form culminating with healing mantras and a live  combination of crystal bowls, chimes, and gongs.
