Our most popular series is for all those interested in yoga but have been nervous about dropping into a regularly scheduled class. If you feel you are stiff, not very flexible or are at all self-conscious, this is the series for you, no matter what your age or physical ability.

You will reap all the benefits of yoga and experience yoga’s physical diversity (forward bends, standing poses, balancing poses, back bends, inversions, and twists) including pranayama (breath work) and Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation). 

 Yoga is non-competitive and honors each individual. If you have questions call Debbie 973-727-6579

 

Meditation Immersion

Text Box: “I do not understand the mystery of Grace only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us” – Anne Lamott

 

 
6 week Immersion with Debbie Kurilla
Wednesday May 7, 14, 21 28
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
$100

During this 6 week series, we  practice and experience the underlying principles of meditation. The course is designed to support the student to begin, maintain and deepen a daily habit of meditation- from creating a space at  home, setting aside time and practicing the week’s meditation. These sessions provide a strong foundation for a daily meditation practice. It will start you on your way to experiencing the many benefits of meditation ranging from stress relief (peace),  to improved well-being (health) to enjoying the simple moments of daily living (joy).

The student is encouraged to share their insights, questions or challenges with the teacher/group via the Internet. This way of communicating keeps the practice alive on a daily  basis.

Men's Yoga

Thursdays 7:30 PM – 8:45 PM   8 weeks $150 4 weeks - $80                        Next session May 29, June 5, 12, 19

 Poses for healthy, stress free living: A series designed specifically for a guy’s body. 

For men, practicing Asanas will help offset any physical irregularities that they may acquire from sports such as golf, baseball or tennis where there is a tendency to use some muscles more than their respective symmetrical counterparts. Asanas help by loosening tightness in the muscles, bringing the body back into its natural alignment.

Men who weight train, bike ride or run will find that combining it with Yoga can produce even better results. Asanas (yoga poses) will allow for more flexibility and will relax overworked muscles. Pranayama (breath) keeps the lungs strong, health vibrant and the mind focused and calm.                                                                                          

Through Yoga, men can look deeper into them selves, listen to their inner voice, and develop a more positive view on life, thus, enhancing their relations with other people. That, plus reasons mentioned above, is why the practice of Yoga is highly recommended to all men.
