Just Breathe

Yoga with Ileana

The only authentic Yoga is the one that works for each person according to circumstances and needs, and there are many possibilities.” T.K.V. Desikachar

 

 HATHA YOGA
  Hatha Yoga is the most widely practiced form of yoga in the world. Hatha Yoga uses postures (asana) and stretches in combination with the breath to develop flexibility and relaxation. Hatha Yoga encourages proper alignment of the body and is excellent for increasing flexibility, developing strength, improving body awareness, building concentration and calming the mind. Recommended for students of all levels.

GENTLE HATHA
A calming, stress-relieving yoga class to stretch and strengthen the body gradually. Emphasis is on building awareness of the breath and the body. Asanas are practiced at a slower pace with attention to alignment and detail. Recommended for all levels looking for a soothing, relaxing, and restorative experience, especially those newer to yoga or working with special concerns or injuries.

DEEP RELAXATION YOGA
Take a break from the hectic pace of life to enjoy the soothing benefits of finding balance and harmony through gentle yoga, breathing practice, and an extended (35- 40 minutes) guided deep relaxation. In this soothing class we begin with a series of gentle yoga stretches and movements incorporating the breath, preparing the body for a deep relaxation practice called Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is a journey through stillness and mindfulness in order to gain a greater sense of clarity, calmness and serenity.

YIN YOGA
Experience another side of Yoga… Yin Yoga uses long-held relaxed floor postures to stretch and stimulate the deep connective “Yin” tissues of the body. Accessible to practitioners of any tradition, this practice strengthens chi (energy) flow and maintains the health of the meridian system of the body, and is the ideal complement to dynamic, muscular “Yang” forms of Yoga.  We close with the deep relaxation practice of Yoga Nidra; where you plant an intention for your life. A sankalpa or intention is a powerful communication with the subconscious mind to help manifest deeply held desires and intentions.

YOGA NIDRA
Yoga Nidra is a beautiful and ancient practice of complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation while still maintaining awareness at the deeper levels.  It is a form of pratyhara one of the limbs on the eight-fold path of yoga in which the mind withdraws from the senses and turns inward.
Yoga Nidra takes you deep inside to a threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, a state in which you are very receptive and connected to your intuition.  It enables you to find answers within to your problems and concerns.  It increases creativity and inspiration and enables you to live a peaceful and meaningful life.
