CLASSES WITH SAVONN WYLAND: Morning Practices and/or An Evening of Candlelight Yin (May 14-16)

Morning Practices: May 14-16 (7:30-9:15am)
An Evening of Yin Yoga: Friday, May 16th (7:30-9:30pm)

Morning Practice:

Practicing in the morning allows you to set a rhythm and intention for your day. Our morning practices are open to anyone with at least a basic knowledge of yoga poses. You will be able to experiment with different sequencing and sets of poses to see how you respond to practicing earlier in the day. By starting your day with your yoga practice you will see a difference in your energy level, perspective and mood. Highly recommended!

An Evening of Yin Yoga:

This deep meditative practice complements many other active yoga practices and other physical activities. The Yin style involves holding poses for longer periods of time (up to 5 minutes), with less muscular effort. Practicing this way targets the deeper connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. On an energetic level, the Yin style works with the pathways of the meridian system (energy channels). Infused in the longer, more passive holds is a meditative awareness of breath, mindfulness and presence.

~Pricing~
Morning Practices: $15/day pre-register/pay or $20/day as a drop-in.
An Evening of Yin Yoga: $20 in advance or $25 at the door

please note: if you have the interest but not the monetary means to take any of Savonn's classes, you may be able to work something out with the studio ahead of time. Feel free to email: savonn@bernalyoga.com

All levels welcome

First Friday Restorative Yoga with Kate Truka

Fridays, June 6th, August 1st (7:30-9:30pm)
Cost per session: $20/paid in advance or $25/at the door

Join us for the First Friday of every month to relax, unwind, and let go of tension with an evening of restorative yoga. No prior experience with yoga is required and those working to live comfortably in the body and to heal injuries, as well as new and soon-to-be parents, are most welcome.

During the 2 hour class you will be invited to open your body by turning your senses toward your internal environment: to deeply nourish the systems of your body and the sweetness of spirit. Through passive yoga asanas fully supported by props, as well as jnanic (self-inquiry), bhakti (honoring), and pranayama (breathing) practices, this workshop encourages pratyahara (sense-withdrawal). As you re-align with the clarity within, you begin to unwind stress reactions and dis-ease in the mind and body.
