Yoga Begins this Week ~

Fall Equinox has passed and a new phase begins; and as the light of day grows shorter and cooler our bodies crave the warmth and movement to remain supple and strong.  I am so looking forward to yoga beginning again.

This year I am going to develop two different classes for Tuesday and Thursday.

Tuesdays 9:30-11:00, will become a yoga flow class, we will build our core strength slowly and gradually adding more poses and longer holds to the flow – a specific set of poses will be practiced.  This allows us to see our progress more deeply.  This is a Gentle Yoga Flow designed for Baby Boomers with some yoga experience.

Thursday, 9:30-11:00, we go Back to Basics, Fundamentals of Yoga.  If you have never done yoga this is a great place to start.  Even if you have done yoga for years we can start each session with a beginner’s mind and explore breathing, asanas (postures), and relaxation practices.  Learn about your body its strengths and limitations and work within those boundaries to create more vibrant health and joy in our lives. 

I am just waiting to confirm Wednesday’s Chair Yoga from 9:30-10:30.   This is a very gentle supported class.  It is a great class for beginners.  Keeping our body active helps our mind, our balance, our happiness – it is such a great class for people who have physical challenges with mobility, healing from surgery or illness and just a lovely outing to be with others in exploring our body, through breath and movement synchronicity slowly and gently supported by a chair in all aspects.

To allow everyone who might want to come out and try a class, I am offering this first week’s classes for FREE and invite anyone with an interest to come out.  Please arrive by 9:15 so that you can settle in and fill out a ParQ form to begin the year (bring your glasses J).

Yoga is physical, I recommend that you do not have anything to eat for at least an hour before yoga, and then only something light and easily digested.  Wear flexible clothes that allows for full movement and dress in layers.  We start cold, we warm up and then we cool down and relax completely.  I recommend you bring a blanket. 

If you have questions please call me at 250-210-0826, or email me at dawn_gordon@telus.net

I look forward to see you all again, come out, bring a friend.  I know new things are scary - we are a friendly, compassionate group of people who welcome others to discover the joy and serenity of yoga.
