Open Level Yoga (90 minutes*)

Gentle Restorative (60 minutes*)

Prenatal Yoga

Our prenatal class, taught by Sarah Halweil, focuses on increasing energy, stamina, strength, and flexibility as well as improving focus and concentration in order to assist in labor, delivery and beyond. It is also a great way to meet other pregnant women in the area.

Effortless Meditation

In meditation, no matter what the tradition, no matter what the form (and there are many), we “come home.” Or more accurately, we realize we already are home. In these meditations the student is given gentle suggestions to direct the mind’s focus inward. For it is there, in the body, that the mind can access stillness. In this way, meditation is really yoga, and yoga is really meditation, as both are directed toward stilling the fluctuations of the mind. Brief readings from various wisdom traditions are also provided. Effortless Meditation Classes are with Eve Eliot on Fridays from 8:30-9:15am in Ganesh (23 Washington St) and are Free/by donation.

Jivamukti Yoga

Jivamukti Yoga combines the practice of asana with the practices of bhakti (acting with affection), nada (inner and outer music), ahimsa (generating nonviolence), the study of yogic scriptures, and the practice of meditation. A typical class might involve chanting, a teaching on a spiritual focus relating to the asana practice and life off the mat, guided with good music and hands on adjustments. Some yoga experience recommended.

Ashtanga Yoga Class

Students are led through the full primary series of the traditional Ashtanga Yoga method as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Special emphasis is placed on tristhana: posture, gaze and breath, which when practiced in the context of vinyasa, work to purify the body, mind and nervous system. Students should possess prior ashtanga experience with sufficient ease and strength up through Navasana. This class is not for beginners. Thursdays 5:30-7:00pm starting July 1st, 2010.

Lunch-Time Yoga (60 minutes*)

Reward yourself with this "Yoga Break" in your daily routine....you deserve it!

Rockin’ Vinyasa!!!

Lisa Zaloga’s vinyasa style of teaching is a cohesive eclectic blend of Jivamukti, Ashtanga, Iyengar and Anusara!!!  Her vinyasa class  is "a seamless experience" not just a class, and includes a theme, rockin' music, concentration, and focus on breath being the leader through a flow of intelligent sequencing. In class Lisa encourages students to challenge their 'edges', to honor their bodies but to remember that being complacent or comfortable doesn't always teach us the more profound life lessons. Her classes include a psyco-spiritual element including yogic philosophy and 'real life' tools to guide students toward developing a stronger moral compass. Lisa’s classes are challenging for every level but with a gentle force.
