Candlelight Restorative Yoga in February - SOLD OUT!!!
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 to Wednesday, February 22, 2012

Wednesday nights, 4 weeks, February 1st to February 22nd, 6:00 - 7:30 pm - $85.00

Gentle, supported postures help to restore movement and flexibility to your body. Assisted by the use of props such as the wall, a bolster, zafus, blocks or folded blankets, poses are held for longer periods of time, allowing you to let go of long-held tensions that manifest both physically and mentally. This deeply relaxing and soothing class is suitable for beginners, people experiencing stress or anxiety and people who are recovering from illness or injury. (You may want to check with your doctor first). It is also recommended to anyone, including advanced practitioners seeking a gentle, meditative class. Advance registration required. Missed classes are not transferable or refundable. Instructor: Joanne Lowe

Spring Sadhana - 14 consecutive days of yoga
Monday, April 30, 2012 to Sunday, May 13, 2012

Cultivate a flexible body, a deep breath, a calm manner and an unfurrowed brow.

Sadhana is a sanskrit term which means conscious spiritual practice or quest. This yoga practice, lead by certified instructor Joanne Lowe, is for 14 consecutive days, 6:45 - 7:45 am. Practice yoga the way it was meant to be practiced, on a daily basis. Salute the Sun each morning with a flowing series of postures and breathwork that will refresh and rebalance the inner you, rejuvenate and strengthen the outer you.

Get up early, watch the sun rise, listen to the birds sing, walk amongst the blossoming tulips and crocuses, and join us for a lovely series of classes to open your heart, expand your awareness and lift your spirit.

The Sadhana experience provides a greater understanding of the routine and the rewards of a daily yoga practice.

Suitable for all levels. Missed classes are not transferable or refundable. Pre-registration with payment required, $200.00.
