GENTLE VINYASA YOGA: THURSDAYS
IN W. CHESTERFIELD, MA at my home: 709 Main Road West Chesterfield, MA Gentle Vinyasa 9am - 10:15am DECEMBER Thursday December 5 Thursday December 12 Thursday December 19 Thursday December 26 JANUARY Thursday January 2 Thursday January 9 Thursday January 16 Thursday January 23 Thursday January 30 FEBRUARY NO CLASS FEB 6 Thursday February 13 Thursday February 20 Thursday February 27 *Please try to arrive around 10 minutes before to settle in. Drive all the way to the very top of the hill, to the log cabin. Park in front of the garage and enter through the front door. 
VINYASA is a modality of yoga that arose in India in the early 20th century and is essentially linking movements and/or the asana/postures to a deliberate, mindful, and rhytmic breathing pattern.
These Gentle Vinyasa classes are accessible to ALL students - from new to seasoned practitioners. I teach with a lighthearted and noncompetitive pragmatism that empowers students to learn how to breath properly and practice yoga for themselves, with wisdom and enjoyment. This is not the modern fitness-oriented "vinyasa flow" you'll find in gyms or hot yoga studios: it is a more traditional and accessible approach that encourages students to curiously and playfully explore their unique embodied experience of breathing and moving with intention, compassion and awareness. |
ASHTANGA YOGA:
TUESDAYS IN FLORENCE, MA at The Hidden Temple: The Arts & Industry Bldg ~ Suite 320 221 Pine St, Florence, MA Intro/Led Ashtanga
8-8:45am Mysore Ashtanga 8:45-9:45am
SEASONED ASHTANGA PRACTITIONERS MAY DROP IN TO ANY CLASS DURING THESE 8 TUESDAYS!
Doors will open at 7:45 am.
Class starts promptly at 8 am. NEW Students MUST arrive for the 8 am start. SEASONED students are highly encouraged to begin at 8am, too, to be able to finish their practice and to help us create a cohesive, supportive community of Ashtanga practitioners! At the end of the 45-min guided portion:
*The Hidden Temple is very hidden! Park in the front of the Art & Industries complex. Walk towards the structure closest to the road on the LEFT/WEST side of the building. Enter in the "West Entrance" door on the RIGHT INNER wall of this structure. (The door is difficult to see from the lot.) Take the stairs to the third floor; walk down the long hallway, following the signs for the Hidden Temple.
If the idea of being part of an Ashtanga community interests you, my colleagues Anastasia Ezequelle and Sasha Inodaya are developing one at the Hidden Temple - called Ashtanga Awakening! Click the button for details:
ASHTANGA YOGA is a dynamic style of yoga that involves a specific sequence of postures, synchronized with controlled breathing techniques to create transformation, better clarity of perception and greater wellbeing. It is often practiced in a "Mysore" style, which allows for adaptability amongst a diversity of students, and through which practitioners may follow their own pace with guidance from the teacher. Mysore style yoga allows students to develop a personalized practice that can be approached and adapted to accommodate seasons of life, injury, ability - from approaching practice with a therapeutic intent or with rigor and challenge - depending upon the changing needs of the individual.

*While most students can attend my group classes, those with mobility challenges or concerns about practicing in public/group classes should consider one-on-one in private sessions.
