Hatha Yoga with Carol – NEW! Zoom recording option!

Thursday 10 – 11 am – on ZOOM or by recording only*

This “all levels” class utilizes breath-aligned movement to create a sense of connection and well-being.  Modifications are offered and yoga blocks are frequently used to make classic hatha yoga postures accessible to all.  While virtual, this class still focuses on the importance of community with time allowed for “check-ins” before and after class.  

Yoga & Meditation with Carol – NEW! Zoom recording option!

Sunday, 10:30 am – 11:30 pm- on ZOOM or by recording only*

While we usually think of yoga as a physical exercise, the tradition of yoga has always included meditation as part of its experience.  Breath aligned yoga serves to settle the roaming tendencies of the mind and prepares the body for seated meditation.  This Sunday morning class includes “all levels” yoga practice, breath work (pranayama) and focused relaxation followed by comfortable seated meditation.  No prior experience with yoga or meditation is required for this class!

Restorative Yoga with Jen Zimmerman-Bronder 

Restorative yoga and other healing-based yoga practices such as yoga nidra are part of a thousands of years old wisdom tradition. Unlike the dynamic movement of a typical yoga class, restorative yoga is slow-paced and incorporates the use of props to fully support the body in a few simple postures.  As restorative postures are comfortably held for 5 – 15 minutes, we deeply relax to replenish our stores of energy and recover a sense of calmness.  Restorative yoga classes are located in Studio A; class size is limited to 5.
