The next 6-week session of Yoga Fundamentals will be held Saturdays, 9:00am - 10:15am beginning March 5 and running through April 9.

Are you curious about yoga but don't know how to begin? Have you been to a few classes, but are confused about what's going on? If so, then this beginner's yoga series is perfect for you. This 6-week series will give you a chance to explore, ask questions, and learn about yoga in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere. This class is for people of all fitness levels. You will practice the poses and breathing techniques that form the basis of a typical yoga class, learn about the benefits of yoga and about how to be safe in your practice. At the conclusion of this series, you will have the tools and confidence to step onto your mat in any class.

As an added bonus, you can take advantage of TWO FREE classes with Sara between 3/5 - 4/9. You are also eligible to purchase a class package at a 25% discount at any point during the 6-week series.

Partner yoga is a practice that literally involves leaning on each other, developing balance and finding ways to offer physical support. In partner yoga classes we spend most of our time touching each other. By practicing asana together, we learn how to touch, how to be gentle and kind, we learn acceptance and compassion, how to be respectful and trusting, and how to connect, communicate, and cooperate. It's a great opportunity to open the heart since touch is the strongest and simplest way of giving and receiving love, support, warmth and trust.

Partner stretch is a fun and playful way to explore your relationship while helping one another to release tension in the body. We will explore partner yoga exercises and simple Thai massage techniques and end with a guided relaxation.

Join Linda and Suzanne for a fun partner stretch class that will explore communication, breath awareness and therapeutic poses you can share with a partner. They will explain some of their favorite poses and show how, with a sense of humor and an open heart, partner yoga can playfully strengthen your friendships as well as your yoga practice. Sign up with a friend.

Price is $25 per couple, $15 for a single. If you don't have a partner, we'll find you one!

Saturday, March 5, 3:00pm - 5:00pm

Building upper body strength is a key component in any yoga practice. However, shoulder injuries are one of the most common types of injuries for a number of different physical activities. Learn about the unique anatomy surrounding the shoulder joint, and how to strengthen this area in order to avoid injury and create a healthy range of motion. This 2 1/2 hour workshop will begin with a lecture, and then integrate the teachings into an asana class for the last half of the session.

About your teacher: Sara has a PhD from Duke University, and currently teaches anatomy at the Duke University School of Medicine. She is also an experienced yoga teacher, and is looking forward to integrating these two interests in this comprehensive workshop.

This workshop will be offered on Saturday, March 19, 2:30pm - 5:00pm. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early!
