Beginning Yoga - A class that introduces you to yoga postures (asana) and proper alignment; to the importance of yogic breathwork (pranayama); to calming the mind using dharana (focus) and dhyana (meditation); and the path path... This is the class that opens the door, but you have to walk thru . Oh, and the path is yours, whatever you shall make it. Yoga is not a religion, but it can draw you closer to your spiritual connection or you can just enjoy all the physical benefits. When the student is ready, there's a class somewhere, and we kinda like this one!!!! M 5:30 |

Go with the Flow
Go with the Flow - All Levels - Sometimes we need a more vigorous practice to release stress and tension that has our bodies and minds wrapped so tight, and sometimes we need a more gentle practice in acceptance of our selves just as we are and to honor our gentle spirit. This is an all levels class that offers both options, but (as always in life on the mat and off the mat) the choice is always yours. At all classes, options will be give to explore and observe our Yin natures (passive/accepting) or our Yang natures (aggressive/ moving & changing) T 11:30, 5:30 / TH 5:30 / SAT 9:30. |

Loving Kindness and Gentle Yoga
with Meditation
Loving Kindness Gentle Yoga & Meditation - A passive practice to open the heart, the mind and the body. So much of our external world pulls on us too tightly with demands and deadlines. As a result, we begin to constrict in resistance. This constriction has us living too tight in our bodies, in our minds and in our hearts. We forget that the greatest thing we can give to ourselves and to each other is acceptance, kindness and love. Each class will conclude with a seated Loving kindness Meditation - just what we need to set a positive intention for ourselves and extend more love out & into the world. And, doesn't our world need it? Do you? T 4:00 * / SAT 8:00 *

Reiki Yoga
A yoga class designed to offer individuals hands-on-Reiki support as we breathe into areas of our bodies that may hold blocked energy. Blocked energy manifests itself on each plane of the body -- physically, emotionally and spiritually. Physically, it may show up with unexplained body aches, decreased range of motion, fatigue or decreased flexibility. Emotionally, blocked energy may reveal itself in feelings of anger, frustration, a deep sadness, irritation, anxiety, neediness ,etc. Spiritually, blocked energy may present itself with an inability to connect deeply to oneself, others, or in difficulties quieting the mind.
Reiki Yoga AM and PM classes are created for anyone ready to transform their lives on whole new levels emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Reiki, an ancient form of energy healing uses Rei (universal ) and Ki (energy) to support the mind, body and spirit in self-healing. As blocked energy stores are accessed in each level of the body, new waves of energy flow unimpeded, bringing feelings of increased well-being, strength, clarity, unconditional love and more!

Our Instructor, Becky Astarita is a psychotherapist, yoga teacher and Reiki Master. She first became aware of the energy in her hands over 13 years ago and sought medical treatment.

Becky has now been a Reiki Master/Teacher since April 2005 and welcomes the opportunity to serve. She is also available for private Reiki Sessions by calling 615-426-7231.
