MONDAY
5 pm | Gentle Yoga | Catherine
This class is a slow-moving, meditative, and calm practice incorporating a therapeutic perspective of Yoga and can support students who are re-entering their practice after a long break or are looking to slow things down and reconnect to the body’s inner wisdom. (65 m.)
Props: 2 blocks, 1-2 blankets, strap, flat bolster
WEDNESDAY /
6:15 PM | Yoga Mix | Catherine
The first 1/2 of the class will be a slow-flow style, followed by a restorative practice where you will take time to rest in a reclined posture using props for ultimate comfort. I find this combination to be a perfect way to address an overactive nervous system: we move to get the energy out, so we don’t hold on to stress, and then practice rest so our bodies know it’s time to wind down for the evening. (65 m.)
Props: 2 blocks, 3-4 blankets, flat bolster (alt: bed pillows), optional: eye pillow, sandbag

SATURDAY
9 AM | Yoga Mix | Catherine (Dec. 14 & 28) Althea (7 & 21)
Each of our Yoga Mix teachers draw from a background of training in various styles of yoga to create a unique and customized experience. Catherine takes time to warm up your stiff body with gentle movements eventually graduating into standing poses. Classes will include a slow and mindful flow through sun salutation variations. With Catherine’s clear and precise cueing you’ll rarely need to look at the screen allowing you to get lost in a felt experience of your body temple as it moves. (80 m.)
Props: 2 blocks, strap, blanket
SUNDAY
11 AM | Pilates 101 | Greta
“Pilates is complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit.” Using the original Pilates method mat sequence and this bold quote from Joseph Pilates’ book Return To Life, this athletic class builds endurance, control, and coordination to strengthen your whole body and unite the mind, body, and spirit. Students can expect to get clear, accessible instruction as well as expert feedback and motivation. Some familiarity with the Pilates method is helpful but not required. (45 m.)
