Yoga Schedule

>> If you are you are a cancer survivor or in active or post treatment for cancer, you can receive private yoga sessions with me at no charge from Mercy Medical Center. Please contact Michelle Pritchard at michelle.pritchard@commonspirit.org for details. <<

Monday:

• Available for private yoga sessions

• 5:30 – 6:45 pm Yin Yoga in person and Virtual, Balance Yoga Center.
  • Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues: fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones, unlike a regular “yang” yoga which just targets the muscles. A slower and more meditative practice, yin yoga gives space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Through longer holding of poses yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen these rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
  • Some of the many benefits of yin are: increased flexibility, increased blood flow and circulation, and reduced stress.
  • Yin yoga is for anyone, those dealing with injuries or a chronic condition like arthritis or osteoporosis, to athletes that want to round out and balance their workouts. Yin can also be a great starting point for someone interested in delving more into meditation.
  • The virtual class can be viewed live and/or later at your convenience.

Tuesday:

• Available for private yoga sessions.

Wednesday:

• Available for private yoga sessions.

Thursday:

• Available for private yoga sessions

• 2:00 – 3:15 pm: Virtual Yoga Nidra & Yin/Restorative, Balance Yoga Center.
  • Beginning with the 30-minute Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep, aka adult nap time) we will slow down, relax, and rejuvenate, through guided meditation and gentle/passive stretching.
  • Yin Yoga directs the asana practice into the connective tissues, ligaments, and joints which are not exercised very much in an active (or yang) asana practice.
  • Suitable for nearly all levels of students, yin yoga and restorative yoga are great compliments to the dynamic and muscular (yang) yoga practice. With these styles, it’s not about changing and pushing ourselves, this class allows for a gentle and quiet power to arise facilitating a deep release of healing. Restorative yoga is a practice that allows for both a stillness in the body through passive stretching, and the mind, through the lengthly time held in the pose. Deeply meditative, deeply healing, restorative yoga is often called the most advanced yoga.
  •  This class can be taken live and/or viewed later.
