Weekly Wellness Classes Descriptions:

Energizing Yoga : This class is for experienced students as well as beginners with a higher fitness level. Breath is emphasized throughout this practice. The 45-minute Energizing Yoga classes are designed to cultivate heat in the body with creative sequences involving sun salutations, standing and seated postures and a strong focus on the power of breath awareness. Energizing Yoga classes tend to be more aerobic, and will incorporate poses that cultivate strength, breath, and body awareness. The class includes sun salutations, standing, seated and reclining poses, as well as some balancing, poses. Relaxation closes the class.

Mindfulness Meditation:

This half-hour class provides the fundamentals of Mindfulness Meditation, which is shown to reduce anxiety, depression and to improve wellbeing. Through increased awareness of body sensations, thoughts and emotions these practices are intended to enhance the participant’s ability to recognize and respond to the stressors of everyday life with greater skill and resilience. Through meditation and awareness practices, we will explore this practical and scientifically research approach to living fully in the present moment.
