Pre-Natal - starts 7/12/2010, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm, 6 weeks only!
What better time to either begin yoga or to deepen your understanding of yoga then when you are pregnant. As your attention tunes inward to the extraordinary changes taking place very quickly, yoga will open your awareness further to the constant comforting presence of your breath. Relax and relieve the physical discomforts that arise during pregnancy, while deepening your connection to the baby growing inside of you. Prepare your body with specific poses for the intensity of the birthing process, and learn what positions to do to prevent discomfort. Encouraging lightness and clarity in the mind, permission to be gentle with yourself, as well as accessing and strengthening your innate power, yoga will bring you and your baby simple joy, relaxation, comfort, and strength.
Abundance Practice (accompanied by live music) - Once a Month! Next Class: August 13, 2010
Our Friday night practice is a true heart-opening experience. As Hillary says, “This is Happy Hour!”.In this open level class, Hillary practices with us and leds us through a seamless sequence of asana. This class creates such an amazing atmosphere to really practice at your level while feeling supported by the Kula. We laugh, we move, we meditate, we cultivate…. we delight in the Yoga. I am so excited that this class has taken off, and not only are we creating a beautiful Yogi Home but also a place for musicians and their art-form. I think my favorite part is the meditation…..when the music stops, the silence is so powerful, so thick, you can feel it support and surround you….. But don’t take my word for it, come see for yourself….
Tween Yoga (ages 7-13) - will start up again in September

Tweens today have more on their plates then ever before from sports to academics. This class gives them a place to chill out and focus on themselves. Their patience increases, they feel more ease in their growing bodies, and they learn to work with one another in a supportive way.

Yoga for Fertility - start date TBA
Yoga helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Through the breath, the body relaxes the mind and we calm our nervous system. Often when we are trying to conceive we become more stressed and we need a place to seek comfort, relaxation and to empower ourselves. Our YOGA FOR FERTILITY is a gentle effective program to help you on this journey and to help you with any emotion and physical stress you may encounter. We will help you to nourish your reproductive organs, calm your nervous system, relax your mind and help you to release any accumulated stress. We will lower our stress hormones like Cortisol, which can impede our reproductive functions. As women we will also gather to support each other and devote some time to share in some of the ups and downs that are inevitable during this time. We learn to be more positive and to listen to ourselves. Yoga for Fertility helps us to listen to our body's natural rhythm as we bring a deep sense of peace and connection and align ourselves with our intentions. Through our breathing, yoga poses and relaxation we will restore and balance our minds and brains, detox our bodies, and increase our vital life force. Please join Patti Safian, yoga instructor and Acupuncturist who specializes in Fertility and Women's Reproductive Health for a tonifying delicious relaxing experience.
