SUMMER SOLSTICE YOGA CLASS – June 20, 2012
Connect to the qualities of vitality and inner radiance through aspects of hatha (asana and pranayama), mantra and raja yoga.
Practices specifically explore the dynamism in nature in connection with your yoga practice. During this class you will learn the practice of Surya Namaskara, the Sun Salutation Series which consists of 12 postures corresponding to 12 sun signs. As postures are integrated with breath, the fluidity of the movements become seamless.
As the movements become seamless, awareness become internalized to connect to one’s inner radiance and light.
PRENATAL STUDENTS WELCOME!
Pregnancy is a special time in a woman’s life to connect and contemplate the beauty of creation. As the body, mind and emotions are going through changes, a nurturing yoga class can bring about balance, calm and rest. Pregnant students are encouraged to join the Basic Beginners or the Yoga Relax classes offered at All Elements. These classes will give the expectant mother and growing baby the nourishment they need in preparation for birth. No previous yoga experience is necessary.
Note for all classes: Teachers instruct in a manner where all students needs are met regardless of health conditions or experience level. However, beginner students are encouraged to attend at least 6 Basic Beginners classes before attending the Intermediates or Strong & Deep sessions.
