June 11—The Sand Bag Class

Sandbags can be used in a multitude of ways to help with yoga practices. We can incorporate them into our practice to enhance poses, deepen stretches, and improve stability. We can use them to assist us in postural awareness and stability. They help greatly in restorative classes to help you feel grounded and supported. They even have a calming effect when placed on the body during Shavasana, reducing anxiety and helping your breathing to improve. All Levels.

June 18—Reversing Kyphosis with Yoga

In our culture, we tend to move faster with the head than the heart. Computer work, driving, and daily habits of living bring the head forward, as well as the urge to know what is going on outside in the world around us. The head begins to move forward in space, the shoulders drop forward, and the upper thoracic spine begins to round out of the body, creating a posture known as kyphosis. Re versing the spinal collapse and opening the chest and shoulders can improve how we feel physical ly, mentally, and emotionally. All Levels.

June 25 —iRest Yoga Nidra for the Heart—Cultivating Love

From the time we’re old enough to walk, we are trained to be results-oriented. We measure our success by the results produced by our efforts. In our lifelong habit of focusing on the results we want, we fail to activate the one thing—love—that give wings to our desires. Love is the catalyst by which all good things happen. In this practice, we use the tools of Yoga Nidra to guide us back to love, the effortless way to achieve your heat’s desire. All Levels.
