“The tradition of Yoga says that as we develop and grow, we are actually moving toward our own true nature. Each of us has an individual nature that is our truth, our core, our spirit, and as we allow this true nature to shine through, we become more peaceful, prosperous, confident and joyous! This is the evolution of body, mind and spirit.”

New Classes
Lunch-time Yoga Class

Tuesdays, 12:10 –12:50 pm
Due to students wanting a yoga class on Tuesdays during lunch, we have added one. Jill is the instructor. Everyone is welcome!
 
Spiritual Sharing and Meditation Class

Tuesdays, 6:30 to 7:30 pm
$3.00 / person

We had our first Spiritual Sharing and Meditation class last Tuesday. We had about 12 people, including some youth. Thanks to Janet Gates and Mary Frank Slaughter who have agreed to be the class coordinators.
The plan for the class is that each week a different individual will volunteer to begin our session with sharing 15-20 minutes of their own practice, be it reading poetry, chanting, movement, yoga, breathing exercises etc.  Then, after our minds are settled and we have come together in spirit, we will have a short breathing exercise followed by a 30-minute silent meditation.  Group meditation is of great individual and universal benefit.

Valentines’ Month means Partner Yoga
To celebrate love we are going to be offering 2 Partner Yoga Classes during February. Partner Yoga is a lot of fun and a great work out while teaching you and your partner yoga postures that you can do together. These are energetic, joyful postures which will help you develop trust in each other and leave you feeling relaxed and connected with yourself and your partner. This class is suitable for any duo - couples, friends, partners, parents/children, sisters, brothers, or just come alone.
