This is a gentle yoga series open to anyone, including complete beginners and the flexibly-challenged.
Over six weeks on Thursday evenings, we will work through a progressive series of postures to gently and gradually increase flexibility, strength, and balance. People of every body type, age, and physical ability are encouraged to register.
The class is taught by David Morgan, former manager of New Moon Yoga LLC. David is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher, and has the E-RYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) designation from the Yoga Alliance, which means he has taught more than 1,000 hours of yoga workshops, retreats, and classes since his certification from an accredited yoga school.
The class will be assisted by Bari Ann Kyle, who attended yoga teacher training at Zuda Yoga in Sacramento, CA.
One of the main benefits of this class is to experience “four-hand assists” from David and Bari Ann, so you can experience the alignment and energy of every pose effortlessly, custom-suited to your body as you are.
Another benefit is that you will learn how to practice yoga safely and effectively on your own. You will receive a copy of class plans to integrate into your new or existing home practice.
The format of the class is Kripalu Yoga, a hybrid form of classical hatha, raja, and modern yoga that encourages finding the right posture for your own body in every pose. Kripalu Yoga is often described as the “yoga of consciousness,” because the practices of yoga poses and breathing are viewed as a form of meditation and access to Self. We do not aim for picture-perfect postures, rather the right postures for who we are as we are in the present moment. As Swami Kripalu stated, “The highest form of spiritual attainment is non-judgmental self-awareness.” (Emphasis added.)
Besides asana (the physical postures) for physical opening, sessions will also focus on pranayama (breath mastery) for emotional balance, seated meditation in a variety of methods for connection with our deepest Self, and relaxation for stress relief and integration of the practice.
Relaxation methodology will include guided relaxation, visualization, and yoga nidra (short form), also known as yogic sleep.
