Fall Yoga Schedule

Sunday, 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm – Sweet Sunday – Soft and Simple

with Deb Bradford

• Be still. Be slow. Breathe and Connect. Gentle hatha movement, breath, intention setting and meditation. It is performed at a slower pace with less intense positions and includes extended time for supported meditation, yogic breath work and relaxation. This class encourages movement without the potential for strain. It is great yoga for beginners or just a beautiful way to end your weekend and transition into the week.

Wednesday, 10:00 am – 11:15 am – Yoga for Strength, Stability & Flexibility

with Marci Tordiff

• A comfortably paced class with approachable postures but increasing the ability to move from the core to align, strengthen and promote flexibility on the floor and in standing postures.   Clear cueing, creative sequencing and props are used to energize and melt tension. In this gentle class, we don’t spend a lot of time on our hands, and there are minimal up-and-down transitions.  Breathing techniques are also integrated.  This is an accessible, all-level class.

Wednesday, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm – Chair Yoga

with Marci Tordiff

• Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that can be practiced while sitting on a chair or using a chair for support. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals who may have difficulty with traditional yoga poses due to mobility issues, physical limitations, or age. Chair yoga typically includes modified yoga poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques that are accessible.  It is gentle, supportive, and easeful.  Improve your breathing, and digestion, manage your stress, build strength and coordination, support your heart health and joint mobility, and give your spirit a lift!!

Wednesday, 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm – Surrender Yin Yoga

with Cynthia Banks or Marci Tordiff

• Slow Down and be in this moment. A very slow practice that will melt your day away and bring your nervous system into a state of healing. In this seated/lying down practice you will keep close to the earth and supported.  These yin postures will soften and lengthen your facial connective tissues and release patterns you’ve been holding onto. Reconnect and down-regulate to your undisturbed state.
