WORKSHOP: SUNDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2012 AT 4:00 TO 5:30

Yoga for Couples

You’ve been to dinner, the theatre, and just stayed home.  You’ve bought flowers, chocolates, and jewelry.  Looking for a more meaningful way to celebrate your love?  Looking for fun and playful way to connect with your partner?  Then, join Ann Poirier (and her husband Bob) for an intimate couples’ yoga experience. 
We will be focusing on the breath, the touch, and the asana. Let your bodies meld together and release tension.  Renew your connection. Being present in the moment together is transformative!  When we take time for one another, we are taking care of each other and nurturing ourselves, our relationship, and our well being.    
Bring an open heart, an open mind, and leave your inhibitions at the door.

There is nothing more important to each and every human being than love…it is everything.   

COST $25.00 per person

Prepaid registration is required to assure you a place. Thanks!

CLASSES DESCRIPTION

We will breathe, balance & cleanse our way thru a dynamic vinyasa practice, OPENING the body & encouraging the "prana" to organically flow. Be prepared to shift into serenity with a breath-giving sivasana.
We will be left with clarity of mind, peacefully aware and ZENfully focused for meditation. OPEN your mind to the potential of what you have the power to create along your path. All levels welcome. Saturdays 9:30 am

NEW ~ Beginner 8 week series: We will be offering a 8 week series for beginners, starting September 19 to November 14. As a reminder we are closed on Columbus Day. We will be focusing on the basics of yoga poses, breathing techniques and alignment. You may have been wondering for a while now why so many people practice yoga; come and find out for yourself. Or perhaps you just feel the need to get back to basics; that works too. We need a minimum of 6 attendees to run the class. Please, sign-up as soon as possible as space is limited. Mondays 5:30 pm

NEW ~ Power Chakras Yoga: Chakras are powerful energy centers in your body – each aligning with specific body parts, emotions and senses. As portals between the physical and spiritual planes, the chakras offer unparalleled opportunities for growth, healing and transformation. Learn how to explore and balance your own chakras through specific yoga postures, breathing techniques, spiritual affirmations and hand mudras. By achieving a higher level of awareness of your body’s chakras system, you will experience better health, more energy, enhanced creativity, and the ability to manifest your dreams. Come and experience a complete workout of the body, mind and soul – leaving you feeling fully alive!   Mondays 7:00 pm Heated room

YIN YOGA: Fundamental characteristics of Yin Yoga. Stiffer, fibrous, more inelastic connective tissues (i.e. tendons, ligaments and fascia) do not respond to brief, rythmic stretches as muscles do. Instead, Yin Yoga gently stretches and rehabilitates these types of connective tissues, which form our joints, via passive (supported on the floor), longer held ( usually several minutes), elongating, static postures maintained with the surrounding muscles relaxed. Holding for a few miniutes with a moderate amount of stretch will not stress these connective tissues to a breaking point, but rather will result in a minute increase in the spaciousness of the joint. It is primarily the health and flexibilityof the joints that give us a sense of ease, comfort and lightness in the body. 60 MINUTES / TUESDAYS 7:00 PM

PIYO:. Piyo is a hybrid, athletic work out combining mind/body practices of yoga and Pilates in continuous movement of flow from one exercise to another. PiYo offers modifications for the group exercise environment, and offers exercise progressions to challenge all levels of participants. TUESDAYS AT 5:30 PM. The room will be slightly heated

Vinyasa: In our flow "vinyasa" classes we will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. Great for all!
