Yoga & Meditation with Carol
Sunday, 10:30 am – 11:30 pm – join in on ZOOM at class time or request the class recording*
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 a short movement 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. – This class is currently on hold.
