ABOUT YOGA
Our vision with yoga is to make it accessible to all who feel the pull towards the practice. Our intent is for wellness to be financially available to all and for all to be welcomed despite any personal circumstance or hardship. Because of this, we offer a sliding scale payment system. For a sliding scale to work without burdening our practitioners or each other, it relies on the principles of truthfulness, not taking what is not freely given, and generosity. We understand this price may vary each session permitting you to give a little less and sometimes a lot more.

SLOW DEEP STRETCH YOGA
Restorative yoga is a type of yoga known for its relaxing, calming and healing effect. As well as being popular with students who are recovering from illness or injury, restorative yoga is considered an ideal balance to hectic and stressful modern lifestyles. This practice calms the mind and nervous system, enabling you to turn inward and focus on the breath. In this practice the muscles relax deeply through the practice of stillness and gentle movements. Poses are held for longer periods of time, allowing your muscles to relax deeply. Socks and sweatshirt recommended since you will not be warming up the body the way you would be in an active class.
Sundays 5:15 pm - 6: 15 pm with Andrea

YOGA FOR SURVIVORS OF TRAUMA
Although all classes at our sacred space are trauma sensitive, this once a month class is created for survivors of trauma. This class and space allows for a unique path of healing. My intention is for survivors to regain a sense of comfort and ease within ones body, mind, and spirit. The program allows for you to become reacquainted with your body and allows and facilitates a powerful transformation with the relationship with the body. Often after trauma, our bodies can feel like an enemy, like we are being held hostage in our bodies, like our bodies are not our own. Through yoga, we get our bodies back and my intention is that in time the body is no longer frozen, no longer a container of fear and tension, but in fact a powerful, highly intelligent and highly sensitive tool to move us both through and beyond the memory of the deepest pain. No physical adjustments will be made in this class. No questions asked about your trauma.
Tuesday March 21st 6:00 pm with Sasha
Mindfulness Through Breath Work
Martial artists, yogis, and Buddhist monks have long known the power of controlling the breath, utilizing many different types of breathing techniques. Early morning is a special time of day. The air is still and sweet, and the birds are singing; all of nature is priming for a new day. Your nervous system is built to respond to the qualities of morning in the same way—ready for renewal. Start your morning on the right foot by developing a routine that includes sitting mediation with breathing exercises, or pranayama, to help enliven your spirit.
Sunday 7:30 AM with Chente
