Yin Yoga
Like a hot sweaty, exhausting workout?   (YANG)
Like a calming, slow, meditative practice? (YIN)
If you answered yes to EITHER one of those questions, this special class is for you. If you tend to be drawn to YANG activities, chances are you need to balance your body (and your life) with a little more YIN.

BREAK IT DOWN
Want to learn more about the mechanics of asana? Do you wonder if you are doing it 'right,' what it is 'supposed' to really look like and how to make adjustments? This series will dissect a few poses, or a certain topic each session to help you find proper alignment & better understanding of the asana. Enjoy individual attention, adjustments and handouts.  Some of the topics will include: Core Movement, Twisting to New Depths; Geometry- Perfect Triangles, Balancing it All, Going Upside Down with Confidence etc. The series is ongoing and will continue throughout the year. Sign up for any session as they are not consecutive. No experience required.

Balancing Your Energy
You’ve heard the term ‘energy work,’ but do you know what it means? Join special guest teacher, Alexandra Windsong from The Healing Way for a quick introductory guide to understanding the function and importance of your aura, and how this energy field is impacted by, and is a reflection of, your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state. Learn about tools such as Reiki and flower essences, to help you balance your energy, and your energy field. Be one of the lucky participants picked to have YOUR aura read. 

YOGA PHILOSOPHY 101 (the non-credit, no stress, fun course) You might not know it, but there is A LOT more to yoga than just asana (physical postures). In fact, it’s a system of health and wellness that’s been around for over 7,000 years.  If you're interested in taking your Yoga practice to a new level, or just a curious beginner, come to this introduction to basic yogic philosophy.  Learn about the 8 limbs of yoga including Pranayama (breathwork), Yamas (social restraints/ethics) and of course, asana (posture).

Rasa Vinyasa
Rasa is said to be the ‘juice’ of life. Without it, we become dry, stuck in routine & then rigid. Join Dorcas for a ‘juicy’ 2 hour Vinyasa practice to get your system warmed up & your practice amped up for the new year. Must have at least 6 months yoga experience & be physically active. Be prepared for a workout!
