  • pradipikaYOGA

a five week gentle yin yoga series to soothe lower back pain, improve flexibility and reduce stress

Join Marcy for another delightful series of gentle yoga classes, now with the incorporation of yin yoga postures to relax and unwind at the end of your week.  Designed to clear your head and unkink the body after a long day, this series is accessible to almost everyone, especially those who need to avoid pressure on wrists, knees and shoulders.  Yin yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more invigorating yoga styles. In yin yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive release for the deep layers of connective tissue in the body.  Yin yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees.  The relax & renew series will be a combination of gentle yoga flowing postures with the incorporation of the yin yoga postures as Marcy leads you through a practice that restores and harmonizes in a mindful practice that includes breath work, gentle movement, and yoga nidra savasana. You will emerge feeling calm, grounded, and rejuvenated.

Fridays, 4:30 - 5:30pm, 8 week series, Oct 11, 18, 25, Nov, 1, 8, 15, Dec 6, 13

Yoga  can help children learn to be more peaceful, more patient, and more  healthy.They love to laugh and role-play. They have natural curiosity,  creativity, and compassion. Competition, anxiety, bullying, ADHD,  Autism, and obesity are only a few of the challenges facing kids. Yoga  can help!  With their ability to learn through moving, touching and physically experiencing, kids can adapt quickly to the discipline that yoga offers,   opening themselves up to develop balance, social skills, and lasting   friendships. Yoga can also help kids release anxiety, decrease hyperactivity, and manage strong emotions. It is a non-competitive way to improve concentration, memory, and learning.  If you're ready to foster your child's curiosity though yoga, join Laura for this 8 week series.  Ages 5-10.

RYT 200, Laura has lived on the shoreline with her family for 20 yrs. Her quest to harmonize body, mind and spirit led her to begin practicing yoga in the late 90’s, and then on to the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy where she became a Licensed Massage Therapist. She has been actively taking classes and workshops ever since then. She dove head first into the yoga pool studying Kripalu, Ashtanga, Bikhram, Yin, Forrest, and Hatha styles of yoga to name just a few. Although she loves both a strenuous physical practice and time to sit and “be”, most importantly she feels her classes are a blend of these influences which make classes accessible to yogis of all shapes, ages and interests. She feels her style has been influenced by many of the wonderful people she has had the fortune to train with over the years. Among some of these are Bo Forbes, Beryl Bender, Rodney Yee, Ellen Heed, Anna Forrest and most recently Barbara Ruzansky of West Hartford Yoga where she completed her power yoga training. In addition to this training she has completed Level 1 & 2 in Radiant Child Yoga.

Aixa L Belville, RYT200 

Growing up as an athlete Aixa's body became tight and out of balance. In her quest for healing through Yoga since 1999, she gravitated to breath and core centered practices. She believes that by connecting and moving from center, Yoga can help us, not only be in the present moment but, become strong and resilient, both on and off the mat. Aixa's training includes Forrest Yoga, Resistance Stretching, Core Strength Vinyasa, Ashtanga Yoga and Thai Yoga Bodywork. Her intention with these practices is to help people connect with their physical and energetic body and how it relates to the world. Aixa is ever so grateful for all the teachers that inspire her in this journey. Classes are challenging, fun and light hearted, rooted on breath, core-strength and proper alignment. Great for healing/preventing injuries and finding your flow.
