Kundalini Yoga at a new time!!!

Kundalini Yoga is now at 9:15 am, starting on May 1.

Kundalini Yoga at one time remained a closely guarded secret practiced only by a chosen few. In 1969, however, Yogi Bhajan decided to change this tradition by bringing Kundalini to the West. Yogi Bhajan's reasoning was based on the philosophy that it's everybody's birthright to be "healthy, happy and holy," and he believed Kundalini would help spiritual seekers from all religious paths tap into their greater potential.

The practice of Kundalini Yoga incorporates postures, dynamic breathing techniques, chanting and meditation. Practitioners concentrate on awakening the energy at the base of the spine and drawing it upward through each of the seven chakras. Kundalini Yoga provides a sense of fulfillment, self discovery, and cleanses the body via asana, breath, and vibration.

Kundalini Yoga is a vigorous and energizing practice!

Yin Yoga Workshop May 21 at 6:30!!!!

We are offering a Yin Yoga Workshop on Friday May 21 at 6:30 -8:30 PM. Come join us for this amazing introduction to the beautiful world of Yin Yoga,as Instructor Jim Scully explains the benefits and history, as well as engaging in a full practice. The Yin practice is a series of quiet stationary poses. The Yin practice is designed to work our connective tissues(ligaments and fascia) and to protect the health of our
joints. It nourishes the flow of energy in our bodies through a practice of holding
a series of floor postures for 3 to 5 minutes. Benefits of the practice are increased
flexibility, energy flow and relaxation. The Yin practice is a perfect complement to
the more muscular, movement-oriented practices of yoga. Modern researchers
are also contending that strengthening and stretching connective tissues may be critical for long-term health. The cost is $18 in advance or $20/door. Jim Scully is a RYT with Yoga Alliance and has trained specifically in Yin Yoga with Paul Grilley.
