NEW! Coming this Fall to our studio: Yoga Nidra
Look on our website for more information on the experience of Yoga Nidra and the sound therapy offerings coming soon. Sheri has recently completed an international course on Yoga Nidra and looks forward to offering it at the studio.
Prakasha Yoga, A Hatha-Soma Style (offering both private and group) This class combines yoga- the eastern practice of uniting mind, body and spirit through meditation, breathing and classical asanas, with somatics. Experience classical yoga poses, breathing and meditation techniques. Build strength, balance and flexibility on a new level. This practice is designed to balance and tone the body, focus the mind and recharge the spirit. All experience levels are welcomed and honored as modifications will be presented. Students are guided to practice mindfully and within his/her capacity.
Somatics (offering both private and group)
“Somatics is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that connects body sciences, and movement to help each person understand more about his or her body/mind and move toward greater integration.” This gentle movement modality, focused on releasing habitual muscle contraction, is designed to foster an internal sensory awareness to re-educate the body, releasing tension and promoting freedom of movement.
Private Reiki Sessions
Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique from Japan that can also promote healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us through a "laying of the hands." Reiki treats the whole person leaving them feeling relaxed, peaceful, secure and with a feeling of well being. $55 per session
Private Thai Yoga
Thai Yoga is a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga and Ayurveda that was born in the temples of Thailand. The practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically. Thai yoga is performed on a comfortable thick cushion on the floor. Both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement. $55 per session
Group Thai-Yoga Class Experience this special form of yoga that infuses restorative yoga poses and breathing with Thai yoga techniques. Designed to improve posture, flexibility, digestion and circulation, this restorative class will reduce both physical and emotional tension while working to remove blocked energy and provide a new found freedom in mind, body and breath. With the benefit of two qualified instructors during one class, you will move into asanas and then receive hands-on adjustments that feel as relaxing as a massage. Craniosacral and Reiki therapies will be offered during the class to give you the feeling of complete relaxation. Instructors: Julie Prochnow (Cyga Grafton,) and Sheri Bestor (Balancing Arts Studio)
