69 Meditation (Ages 15 & Up) Supervisor: Liz Visteen A very special class where the body stays still and mind works out. This class will teach a few meditation techniques to practice at home. Though the meditation is practiced alone, these classes will help you sit in a group and practice Meditation to learn the techniques to co-exist. Several techniques will be introduced to calm the mind and manage stress and other health issues. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner these classes will help you grow inside as well as together with the group. Mantra "Om" will be key sound of the class apart from the sounds of a bronze bowl. Classes will be guided most of the times to keep you on the track. Practitioners have noticed great benefits of Meditation physiologically, psychologically level as well as at the spiritual level. Min 6/Max 24 Intro to Yoga (Ages 15 & Up) Supervisor: Liz Visteen Looking to experience the relaxation and stress relief of yoga? This Hatha based class is a great introduction to the basics of yoga. Students will learn the fundamental asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathing techniques). This class is also a good fit for those who would like to slow down to take time on the breath, alignment and where you feel the stretch in each asana (pose). All classes will begin with breath and a warm up where each week a variety of reclining, standing and seated asanas (poses) will be taught. Class will end with a final relaxation. Min 6/Max 24 Beginning/Continuing Yoga (Ages 15 & Up) Supervisor: Liz Visteen These Hatha with some Vinyasa based yoga classes are for those who have begun their exploration of Yoga and would like to learn more challenging asanas (poses). We will cover a wider range of asanas (poses) that will focus on balance, abdominal/core strength, pranayama (breathing techniques), lengthening and toning the entire body.
