Intro to Yoga with Debbie or Maggie~ (Series) For the absolute Beginner to Yoga, as this series introduces students to these concepts: noticing sensations in the body and proper alignment of the body, bringing awareness to the breath and stilling the "monkey mind".

This class incorporates the Kripalu Yoga concept of self determination and encourages the student learning what is best in her or his individual body. Stress reduction and relaxation are an integral part of each class. New series begins July 14 or 17, 2010

Power Yoga with Debbie - (Drop-in) for the young, for the fit, for the not-so-fit yet yearning to be. Learn vinyasa, the art of moving with breathing. Discover the heat in your body, strength and power, leading to sweat and purification. Find your muscles becoming stronger and also more fluid. Follow a practice that invites you to grow with the poses. Create focus. Find the power within you.This class is considered an approachable version based on Baron Baptiste's teachings.

Yoga for Everyone with Debbie ~ (drop-in) This class combines warm-ups Kripalu style or Yin style with vinyasa - linking breathing with movement, as well as holding poses in stillness. This class is geared for multi-levels so that each practitioner may step down or up according to her or his own needs.This class is not intended for Beginners to Yoga.

Gentle Yoga with Debbie - (drop-in) incorporates movements designed to stretch and strengthen muscles and open and create space in the joints.   Body alignment is emphasized in the postures, and breath work completes the practice by increasing circulation and decreasing stress. It works well for anyone desiring a slow, mindful practice. This a good class for Beginners and Seniors. Although this class is not a Chair Yoga class, some of the poses can be adapted to a chair. A chair may be used as a prop to transition from floor to standing.

Yin Yang Yoga with Debbie - (Series) practice combines traditional yoga poses with Oriental Meridian Theory and Taoist philosophy. Poses are mainly practiced seated on the floor and with longer holding. The intention of this practice is to work on joints and their connective tissues rather than muscles and bones. Organs are also nourished as energy in the body is released. Yin Yang combines the coolness of Yin Yoga with the heat of a more Yang practice. In this series, we explore the relationship between these 2 opposing, yet complementary energies in the body that help create a whole vital being. Attention is paid to breathing as well as alignment. Focus is on the particular energy of the poses. The result is a radiant, vibrant, refreshed body, mind and spirit. There is no music in this class. There is frequently reading from a yoga philosophy book, a yogic novel or poetry. New series begins July 12, 2010
