Yes, we can meet by Zoom or phone.
They are tailored to meet your needs, interest, and current condition. One-on-one, personalized sessions and a personal home practice are developed to assist you in working on your own. The first appointment is approximately 90 minutes.
Practice at your own level, balancing challenge with ease. If you are suffering or feeling pain, you are not doing yoga. Pushing or straining to keep up with others will only create resistance, stress, and injury. You will make more progress if you take a compassionate attitude with yourself and work from where you are, rather than from where you think you should be.
Let your teacher know about injuries and vulnerabilities. Avoid working any area of your body that is inflamed. Skip poses you cannot or should not do, or try a modified version or an alternate posture.
Avoid eating for two or three hours before class. If you practice yoga on a full stomach, you might experience cramps or nausea, especially in twists, deep forward bends, and inversions. The process of digestion will slow your energy and make you feel lethargic.
Wear comfortable exercise clothing. Bike shorts or leggings, tank tops or T-shirts are examples. Layers can help you easily regulate your body temperature.
Bring a yoga mat if you have one. We provide a limited supply of mats, blankets, straps, eye pillows and tissues for your use at no charge. We also sell yoga mats. Bring a towel if you perspire a lot.
Arrive early. Getting to class 5-10 minutes early can help you settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the class.
Turn off watches and cell phones.
Speak quietly in the practice room. Loud conversations can be distracting to yourself and others. We support and value the building of community, and encourage socializing before and after class.
Make room for others. Be open to adjusting your space so everyone has room to practice.
Create an intention. To help you focus, you might find it helpful to dedicate your practice to a certain intention to become more aware, understanding, compassionate, healthy, strong, or skillful. An intention might be for the benefit of a friend, a cause, or even yourself.
Stay until the end of class. Yoga is a holistic practice. Exercise increases heart rate and blood pressure, and brings blood flow away from organs to skeletal muscles. Relaxation brings heart rate and blood pressure back to normal and returns blood flow to the organs. Final relaxation and integration bring deep healing, balance, and equilibrium.
Yoga involves conscious awareness of breath with the poses. Each pose is unique and has specific purposes and effects on the body. The breath is used to deepen stretches and flexibility. Focus is the key in Yoga practice.
Yoga classes vary greatly in level of difficulty. Classes range from Gentle Yoga for beginners who need to start slowly, to classes that develop and require more endurance and ability to move comfortably. If you are able to kneel and squat down fairly comfortably, a beginner’s Yoga class is right for you.
Ideally, two times per week. If you do at least two practices at home each week you will experience good, steady results.
Many tools of yoga can be incorporated like physical postures, breath exercises, relaxation, meditation, and sound.
