Classes and Workshops - Through December 2022

• All virtual classes are streamed using the Zoom platform; teacher and students are visible to each other • Pre-payment (four classes) serves as registration; must register at least 48 hours prior to first class you wish to attend • Separate email confirming registration will be sent within 24 hours of payment; a student disclosure is included and must be completed & returned before first class • A Zoom invitation to each class is sent on the evening before each class is held.

For those new to this style of yoga, here are some basics: • Asanas (postures) are level one and accessible; modifications are offered • YIN yoga is focused on joint opening, tendon and ligament lengthening - all good for mature bodies or those with stiff or inflamed joints, or for those with fibromyalgia • Asanas are held for longer periods of time in YIN classes. In this series of classes, we will set an intention to hold asanas for up to five minutes. Students new to the practice are enocuraged to release a posture sooner if needed. • Shorter, counter-postures are performed in between longer held postures to neutralize the spine and major joints.

This mini-workshop will focus on yogic techniques and foot-related asanas to bring relief to sore, aching or stiff feet. Shoes bind the feet, which prevents movement of key joints, and restricts muscle stretching of the feet. A recording of the workshop will be available to all paid participants so that techniques learned can be practiced at home. Participants will need to bring to the workshop: • a tennis ball • a soft washcloth • a cotton shoelace • yoga mat A vegetarian soup and bread lunch is included at the end of this session.

We expect so much of our hands. As we move forward in life, the shape of the fingers and hands changes, often accompanied by stiffness, soreness, and restriction of movement. In this mini-workshop, we will learn yogic techniques and hand-related asanas to release tension and stiffness in the fingers, palms and wrists. For this workshop participants will need to bring: • a tennis ball • a 4” piece of foam ‘pool noodle’ • a squishable ‘stress ball’ the size of a tennis ball • yoga mat A vegetarian soup and bread lunch is included at 12:30 before the start of this workshop

A slow vinyasa flow class, interspersed with short periods of stillness. Class segments include: • asanas for balance and centering • standing asanas for strength • seated asanas to awaken core strength • seated and reclined asanas for cool-down • savasana
