Industrial Yoga

My friend Steve recently asked me, "Gary, why don't you start an industrial yoga class?" Steve is a mechanic who is very strong and fit but very tight and inflexible. Here it is! This class is for those working men and women that have jobs that are physical and often repetitive. Not only will it increase flexibility but will increase balance, grace and coordination. Other benefits will be the ability to relax more completely, and sleep better. We will make use of props such as blocks, straps, blankets and bolsters to make the poses accessible. Being very stiff is the perfect excuse to come to this class.

Hatha Yoga

 Hatha Yoga is a traditional style that includes asana (poses), pranayama (breathing), mudras and  meditation in a perscribed format. This class will be suitable to any level and is recommended to students wanting to move up from a beginners practice.
