CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
LAKULISH YOGA - Lakulish Yoga is a practice that safely and gradually guides the practitioner over time to an awakening of his or her own prana (vital life energy). It’s primary focus is to build prana and tapas (inner heat) while mobilizing the spinal column. Lakulish Yoga utilizes classical Hatha Yoga postures in a way that coaxes the breath and prana to move deep into the lower abdomen, the realm of the first and second chakras. Many of the Lakulish Yoga postures, therefore, center around building abdominal strength, spinal flexibility, and digestive fire. In this class, the postures are performed in combination with deep diaphramatic breathing (pranayama) and retention of the breath (kumbhaka) in order to build samana (digestive fire) which cleanses the 72,000 nadis (energy pathways in the body). Postures are held and repeated, and the body is allowed to relax into the openings. This is a gentle yet challenging form of Yoga in which special attention is given to making the mind, body, and energy stable and comfortable.
PRANAYAMA & MEDITATION - Meditation falls into the category of Raja Yoga (spontaneous Yoga), and is therefore, something that happens to an individual as opposed to something that is to be done. Meditation occurs when the mind is able to focus on just one thought for an extended period of time. It is a unique combination of focused concentration and deep relaxation which allows the seeker to tap into his or her Source. This class will explore various pranayams including anulome vilome pranayama (alternate nostril breathing), ujjayi pranayama (“ocean sounding breath”), and dirgha pranayama (three part breath). This class will also make use of concentration, visualization, energetic focus, and silent mantra repetition. The individual will learn how to harnass and focus his or her thoughts to dramatically increase prana (vital life energy). Meditation has been known to minimize tension, increase relaxation, cleanse and train the unconscious mind, awaken creativity, enhance memory and learning capacity, counteract stress, promote willpower, and build energy.
CHILDREN’S YOGA - Ages 5 through 9. This is a fun and engaging class designed especially for kids in the first through third grades! Children will learn the classical Hatha Yoga postures in a creative and playful way. They will learn how to breathe slow and deep into their lower abdomens, which will calm and relax their minds and bodies. Children will also learn relaxation techniques combined with guided meditation and story telling. Children who practice Yoga perform better in school, are more disciplined, more respectful, have more self-confidence, have more focus and concentration, show improved coordination and balance, have more strength and flexibility, and are more relaxed and creative.
HATHA YOGA - A lovely, gentle, one-hour basic Hatha Yoga posture flow with all your attention focused on your connection to the Divine. Offer, moment by moment, each pose to Divine Love and Light and experience how sacred one hour of your day can become. Perfect for newbies to Yoga postures. Beginner to moderate.
