Yoga Classes:
I am a 500-hour RYT certified Yoga instructor. Yoga is an ancient science which helps to create health and well-being by building awareness, strength, and flexibility in both mind and body. Yoga postures are practiced by people of all ages and in many different states of health and fitness.

Here's some detailed information about the types of Yoga classes I teach and what you can expect from them:
Restorative Yoga:
The perfect balance for whatever else you do in life, this class will have you feeling amazing when you're done. This is not a workout, but rather holding supported poses for several minutes each, taking your body to new depths. Wear warmer clothing than you would for any flow class and come prepared to be refreshed and relaxed. At lease one restorative class per week is recommended for anyone - whether you are highly active the "rest of your life" or not, your body deserves the gift of this class.
Yin Yoga:
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures that are held for long periods of time - five minutes or longer per pose is typical. These poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Yin Yoga poses are also designed to flow of Qi, the subtle energy said in Chinese medicine to run through the meridian pathways of the body. Improved flow of Qi is said to improve organ health, immunity, and emotional well being.
Candlelight Yoga:
Candlelight Yoga is a relaxing practice which utilizes balls and other various yoga props for opening up your feet, calves, buttocks, hips, back and shoulders. This also includes a 15-minute Singing Bowl Meditation at the end of the session. The full class lasts 90 minutes
Singing Bowl Meditation:
Singing Bowls are a type of bell, specially classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, singing bowls sit with their bottom surfaces resting. The rim of singing bowls vibrates to produce sound characterized by a fundamental frequency (first harmonic) and usually two audible harmonic overtones. Singing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, music, relaxation, and personal well-being. They were historically made throughout Asia, especially Nepal, China and Japan. They are closely related to decorative bells made along the silk road from the Near East to Western Asia. Today they are made in Nepal, India, Japan, China and Korea.
