Candlelight Yin & Restore
5:30pm - 6:45pm
*Monday*
Gentle Prenatal Yoga
6:45-7:45pm
The Sunday evening class I teach at Metta Yoga is a mindful, slow class.
We progress through a gentle warm up with rhythmic movements to open the spine and major joints of the body. There will be plenty of time to also relax in Yin and Restorative poses which work on the deeper layers of connective tissue and postural re-balancing. This style of yoga practice fosters complete relaxation, rejuvenation of the nervous system, and mental and emotional peace. Come prepared to slow down and cultivate awareness of your body as well as the subtlety of your breath in this serene studio/temple space. After one hour of yoga, we rest on our backs to integrate, and then transition to a 10 minute seated meditation with guidance. Beginners, seniors, those with injuries, or anyone who needs to decompress are welcome!
The Empowered Birth Partner Workshop
This three hour class is a special time to come together with your primary support person and join as a team with a shared vision and intention. This is a hands on class and we review natural methods of meeting labor such as optimal positioning, conscious breathing, mental and emotional tracking, acupressure, massage, rebozo techniques, essential oil therapy, and guided visualizations. We also talk about empowering not only the birthing person but their partner in ways to stay connected, grounded, and present for the labor and birth. I teach this class privately upon request and every couple of months in person in a small group setting through Metta Yoga.
Private yoga + Meditation Sessions
For those who want a more in-depth approach to their practice. Those with limitations either from injury or illness are encouraged to come to a private class to address proper ways of modifying poses to prevent confusion or strain. Even if you have a strong and alive practice and have been taking classes for many years, a private session can be the perfect motivation needed to take your practice to the next level and make sure you aren't furthering certain habits. Also, those who are new to yoga are especially advised to schedule a private yoga session so that the fundamentals of proper alignment can be learned from the very beginning.
