Yoga

Sundays @ 9:30am

Instructor: Rebecca Nenno

Location: 449 Main Street, Suite 3

Class in a drop-in, donation-based vinyasa. Suggested donation $5-$15. Vinyasa yoga is great for beginners and is a fluid combination of poses in sequences that focus on the link between breathing to movement. A flow in Vinyasa is like a dance, linking each physical movement with the breath and finding flow in every pose and transition. For a lot of people, tight hips and shoulders are often the main complaint or target areas, so this class will focus a lo of legs, but intends to be well-rounded and adapted for everyone. 

Thursdays @ 7:00pm

Restorative and yin styles of yoga are great antidotes to busy, past-paced lives. Restorative yoga calms the nervous system and brings us back to our "rest and digest" state using long, passive yoga poses and oodles of props. Yin yoga is characterized by passive, long-held, floor-based yoga poses that usually focus on the spine, hips, and legs. Beyond the physical benefits of the practice, yin yoga can offer insight into the subtle body’s energy pathways or meridians. Both styles emphasize stillness, so they can also allow students to decompress from the pace of modern life, and explore their capacity to sit with and examine sensation.

Trataka is an ancient meditation technique that involves focusing your gaze on a single point, such as a candle flame, black dot, or small object. The word "trataka" comes from the Sanskrit word 'tratak', which means "to gaze". This particular practice starts with open eyes directed on a singular candle flame which is placed in the center of a circle of participants, and then progresses to internal practice with eyes closed. The intention is to stimulate the pineal gland, which calcifies and become less active as we age. The pineal gland is associated with the third-eye chakra in Ayurveda medicine, and is said to be the birthplace of our innate wisdom and intellect. This practice can improve concentration, memory, willpower, visualization skills, and cognitive function. It's also said to help with insomnia and cure eye diseases.
