GUIDED MEDITATION (Yoga Nidra)
MONDAY & FRIDAY
10:40 - 11:25 AM (45 min)
You are encouraged to bring a pillow and/or blanket, or whatever will bring the most comfort, as you will laying on the floor for the duration of the practice.
Come experience the style of Guided Meditation called "YOGA NIDRA." Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term Yoga Nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words: yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra which means sleep. During the practice of Yoga Nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. In this threshold state between sleep and wake-fulness, contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occurs spontaneously.
If the consciousness is able to be separated from external awareness and from sleep, it becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways, for example, to develop the memory, increase knowledge and creativity, or transform one's nature. Yoga Nidra can be used for directing the mind to accomplish anything!
R - E - L - A - X
Yoga Nidra is a powerful form of guided meditation in which one learns to relax consciously. People may feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with their favorite drink, watch Netflix, and/or scroll through their cell phone. Yet this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is Yoga Nidra, the state of dynamic sleep.
Through the practice of yoga nidra, we are not only relaxing, but restructuring and reforming from the inside- out. With every session we are burning old patterns, habits and tendencies in order to be born anew. This process is not only much quicker than other systems which work on an external basis only, but the results are also more reliable and permanent.
During Yoga Nidra you will become familiar with the variety of techniques that are used, including the following:
CREATING A RESOLVE
This is a short, positive, powerful statement of one's personal choosing. It is found by going into the heart, and discovering the heart's desire. This is an integral part of every practice, and is repeated at both the beginning and the end of the session. It is said that the resolve that one makes during Yoga Nidra is bound to come true in one's life.
ROTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
This is the progressive movement of awareness through parts of the body. The neurosurgeon affects the body by stimulating the brain. The practitioner of Yoga Nidra begins at the other end of the nerve pathway, by heightening the awareness of the body in order to stimulate the brain.
This induces physical relaxation, and clears the nerve pathways to the brain, both those governing physical activity and those concerned with incoming information. It truly is a 'cleaning' of the brain from the inside-out!
BREATH AWARENESS
By practicing breath awareness, a state of sense withdrawal (pratyahara) and deep relaxation occur. Deep relaxation has been shown to be an altered state of perception. Once this state has been induced, the guided image visualization proceeds.
VISUALIZATION
Guided imagery in Yoga Nidra is a method of using a symbol (archetype) or image as a catalyst to provoke a reaction in the unconscious parts of the mind. The subconscious and unconscious material of the mind is awakened and released to become integrated into consciousness.
Instructor: Joy Alexander
Price: $5.00

Please note: This class begins shortly after Gentle Yoga on Monday & Friday. You are encouraged to make this an "add-on" to your Yoga practice... or simply make this a stand-alone experience.

3. Gentle Movement: Chair yoga focuses on gentle movements and stretches that are easy on the joints, making it an excellent choice for those with arthritis or other joint issues.
4. Mindfulness and Relaxation: Chair yoga emphasizes deep breathing techniques and meditation, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. It's an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety.
5. Improved Posture: By practicing chair yoga, participants can work on their posture, which can lead to reduced back pain and enhanced overall spinal health.
6. Strength and Flexibility: Chair yoga may be gentle, but it still helps improve strength and flexibility over time. The various poses and stretches work on different muscle groups, offering a balanced approach to physical well-being.
Chair yoga is an excellent option for individuals looking to experience the holistic benefits of yoga without the need for complex or strenuous poses. Whether you're a senior seeking improved mobility, someone recovering from an injury, or simply looking to relax and reduce stress, chair yoga offers a path to better physical and mental well-being that is approachable and welcoming to all. Join our Chair Yoga class and embark on a journey to a healthier, happier, and more balanced life.

YIN YOGA
THURSDAY 11 AM
Yin Yoga is a gentle yoga style where most of the postures are performed on the ground with gentle movements, staying in the posture for several minutes to work deeply at the level of the joints, tendons and the fascia that covers all of them. our organs and muscles.
In Yin Yoga, no physical warm-up is needed prior to the postures, since the aim is to work on the real range of flexibility of the body. However to bring some balance to this passivity, classes may start with some "Yang" in the form of Vinyasa movements, light joint movements or Tai Chi.
Yin Yoga is a fusion between Taoist yoga, martial arts and concepts of traditional Chinese medicine. We use circular breathing, that is, continuous without retention, obtaining the benefits of breathing and achieving meditation and being present in the here and now.
Yin Yoga seeks to harmonize the 5 elements of traditional Chinese medicine: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, through their corresponding YIN meridians: Liver, heart, spleen/pancreas, lung, kidneys; and of the YANG meridians corresponding to the viscera: gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine and bladder, with yoga postures.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, to maintain health, we must be in harmony and balance with ourselves and with nature.
Wear clothes that allow them to move easily, that are not tight and do not use jewelry or metallic accessories.
ACCESSORIES FOR PRACTICE
The important thing in yin yoga is to be comfortable. Mats, blocks and straps are available at The Studio for your use, but you may prefer to bring your own. You are also encouraged to bring a bolster (an elongated rigid cushion, a blanket or large towel).
* don't worry if you don't have all the supplies for the first class, bring from home what you see that can work for you and little by little you will put together your ideal yin yoga kit for you.
In class we will:
• Focus on the breath
• Pay attention to the reaction of the body and mind
• Maintain meditative state
• Relax, smile and flow with the practice.
Additionally, the three commitments you are asked to keep are as follows.
1) Balance in your action. Take care not to hurt yourself but always make an effort not to stay at a level of "comfort" but rather to "seek comfort in discomfort".
2) Commitment to permanence in the stillness of the posture once you reach it
3) Commitment to maintaining the posture for a long time

• Pay attention to the reaction of the body and mind
• Maintain meditative state
• Relax, smile and flow with the practice.
Additionally, the three commitments you are asked to keep are as follows.
1) Balance in your action. Take care not to hurt yourself but always make an effort not to stay at a level of "comfort" but rather to "seek comfort in discomfort".
2) Commitment to permanence in the stillness of the posture once you reach it
3) Commitment to maintaining the posture for a long time

STRENGTH & BALANCE YOGA
SATURDAY 11 AM
Strength and Balance Yoga is a Hatha-style yoga class for semi-intermediate and intermediate level practitioners, emphasizing standing postures and strength building.
This class places a strong focus on standing postures. These foundational poses will challenge your balance, improve posture, and enhance your body's stability. As your balance improves, you'll experience enhanced coordination and stability, reducing the risk of injuries. You'll find an increased sense of equilibrium in your daily life, both physically and mentally.
We'll also work on targeting major muscle groups to cultivate functional strength. Strength is a cornerstone of overall health, offering increased vitality, endurance, and a heightened sense of self-confidence. You'll feel your body grow more capable and resilient with each session.
