Yoga & Meditation Classes

 Practice BEING, learning to focus the mind within, observe the self, perhaps glimpsing the Higher Self and just breathe.  As we play with traditional postures done in a traditional way - settle in and hold the posture, listen, watch and be in the experience and release - we have the opportunity to apply the practices of yoga philosophy first hand. We hit each category of posture - standing/ balancing poses, back bends, forward bends, inverted, resting and spinal twist - with a few others thrown in for stretching and we finish class with the blissful guided deep relaxation and meditation of Yoga Nidra.  Modifications are always shown for more challenge and/or for body restrictions.  Yoga at your own pace and your personal abilities. Leave class with greater mental focus, a worked and looser body and feeling at peace.

Tuesdays at 9:30 am, Thursdays at 1:30 pm, Fridays at 9:30 am. (at the PTP studio at 2 Campbell Dr.)

Tuesdays at 7:30 pm at Zephyr Community Hall (310 Zephyr Rd. Zephyr).  Check the schedule for Zephyr session dates.  

This is Classical Yoga without getting down onto the floor.  Class begins with consciously observing the mind and the breath to train the mind to focus within.  Postures begin with a modified sun salutation done standing and progresses into a variety of leg and core work while seated in a chair, includes leg lifts, pike, cat/cow, spinal twist.  Class then moves into standing postures including crescent, tree, warriors, chair and more and ends with some gentle stretching both standing and seated in the chair.  The finale is a guided deep relaxation and peace meditation while seated.  Leaving class you will feel content and peaceful and focused.

Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays at 11 am.

 An  intense yogic practice ...

 The 5 Tibetans have been around for centuries.  It is a practice of 5 yogic exercises designed specifically to awaken the kundalini energies and ignite the chakra system. The 5 Tibetans leave you feeling alert yet peaceful and mentally clear while also experiencing a sense of physical well-being. Each Tibetans is repeated up to 21 times intensely moving in and out of a posture or moving from one posture to another and back again. The movements fire up the muscles, the energies and the heat within.  As you gain momentum the experience intensifies.  Class includes gentle yogic stretching postures after the Tibetans are performed and class ends with Yoga Nidra.

Mondays at 7:30 pm 

Relax deeply and completely!  Let stress melt away as you are guided into a physical deep relaxation and peace meditation.  Yoga Nidra is known as yogic sleep where the body relaxes so completely it falls asleep even though the mind is still conscious as it drifts into a meditative state.  It is said that a half hour of yogic sleep is as if the body has had a full nights rest.  While you float in that state of deep relaxation of mind and body I offer Reiki to each person to help deepen the experience and balance the energies in the body.  Wake feeling refreshed! 

Fridays  once or twice a month at  7:30-8:30 pm - check schedule for dates.

Pre-registration required.  Space is limited.

 Prepare to be Bliss!  Yes, BE Bliss itself.  Restorative Yoga is done completely supported by cushions and your only job is to fully let go and relax.  The body opens and stretches very gently all by itself.  This form of yoga is meant to restore you body and your mind and nurture your spirit.  As you relax in each position Susan goes around the room doing Reiki on each student to help balance energies and deepen the experience of rejuvenation.  This 2 hour specialty workshop is offered once or twice a month.  Watch for date announcements.  Or better yet, join the email list and get notifications on dates and space left in each session.  Space is limited so be sure to register early!
