Do you ever feel like there is NOT enough time in the day?!  

Or that you have so much on your mind that when you DO get time to relax and breathe, it is difficult to slow down and calm the mind?

We have GREAT news:  Yoga CAN HELP.  

All of yoga, when understood philosophically, is about better managing polarities, so the more we practice yoga, the easier our everyday lives. 

Come join JENNA LAMBERT as we practice a yoga sequence that DOES strike a balance between gentle stretching and subtle strength-building.  This is an ALL LEVELS session, so whether you are an absolute beginner or yoga junkie, there will be something for you.  

Everything is cued for you, with many demonstrations, and you are encouraged to go at your own pace.  

Yoga empowers you to ultimately strike a balance—physically, as well as mentally and energetically. As the mind begins to become more one-pointed, our physical practice becomes more stable AND when we do balance postures--even simple ones!--the mind becomes more focused.  It is a beautiful, supportive process.

 

We will playfully practice all sorts of balance asana (yoga postures), such as Vriksasana (Tree Pose) and Virabhadrasana III (Warrior 3),  and more.  

 

You do NOT need to know what these are!  You are gently guided through each sequence with clarity, as you learn to do what feels great for your body.

In addition, you will learn variations to make balance poses easier and more accessible, or more challenging.  You’ll know with confidence when and how to use yoga props (like the wall, straps, chairs, blocks, and more) for more support as well as deep release of physical and mental strain, allowing the body to feel more spacious, strong, and supple. 

This course provides you even more:  Yoga is more than physical exercise; it addresses the strong foundation and integration of body and mind.  

 

This special session lets you get a little taste about the riches a dedicated practice provides you:  

-- enhance proprioception (awareness of the position of the body in space)

 

And, did you know that relaxation is as important as exertion?  In this course you will learn about the integrated health and transformation that yoga practice provides, and soon you’ll begin feeling that calm and contentment, in class and even off the mat.   

This taster provides you the crucial experience of systematic relaxation.  After the more invigorating practices, our bodies are ready for deeper release, so that the nervous system and then the mind itself are ready to find more ease, support, and stillness.

This is ALSO a splendid opportunity to meet AHA Yoga's LATEST TEACHER addition, Jenna Lambert!
