Did you know...

Yoga really is a mind bender?  


According to a recent study from Harvard Medical School,
adults who practiced 27 minutes of mindful activity daily including gentle yoga and meditation, had significant increases in gray matter, specifically in the areas of the brain that help regulate emotions and stress. And these changes last throughout the day, not just when you are in class.    

 

Come to our Gentle Yoga classes:

Mondays 9-10:30am with Sandy

Twist Workshops   

Come experience the practice of the evolving, revolving poses. Twisting Poses help restore your spine's natural range of motion, cleanse your organs, and stimulate circulation. They offer us a return to Self - bringing the awareness back to our center, the "still point."  Thus we become re-energized, cleansed, balanced, and insightful. The energy of clarity, dedication and purity rises. Previous yoga experience highly recommended for this workshop
