Saturday Yoga Sessions – March , 2026
Inspiration:
“The practice of asanas lubricates the joints and increases mobility, bringing awareness to each muscle, joint, and organ. Different combinations of asanas improve the range of movement for each muscle and joint, helping align the left and right sides of the body.” — B.K.S. Iyengar
Saturday, 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm | Session A
Yoga for Knee Health
Your knees are complex and incredibly important joints. In addition to holding you upright and carrying you through the world, they also help absorb the shock from everyday movements including walking, running, jumping, or moving from pose to pose in your yoga practice.
Maintaining the health of your knee joints is critical. If you’re experiencing pain, it can help to strengthen the muscles around your knees including your hamstrings, quadriceps, abductors, adductors, and calves.
Benefits:
Transformational Work:
Awaken your inner strength and flexibility through guided feedback, helping you evolve in both body and mind.

Let go of the past and the future, and focus on your practice in the moment.

Sunday, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm | Session D
Yoga to Relieve Physical Exhaustion
This is a nurturing and soothing yoga practice that supports the nervous and immune system, restores homeostasis (optimal functioning within), and recharges the body’s energy system, so that you can rest deeper and more peacefully.
This sequence is designed to include gentle backbends, supported forward bends, and supported inversions to calm the nervous system and recharge the energy system. The result is to experience deeper levels of breathing and relaxation.
As the body releases stress and tension, the body, mind, emotions, and spirit can relax into a safe space of inner stillness, so you can connect with your peaceful and beautiful inner self.
Benefits
Pranayama: Alternate nostril breathing
Asanas: Asanas that support and nourish the nervous system and immune system
Restoratives: Restoratives that calm the nervous system such as Setu Bandha Sarvangasana and Savasana
Transformational Work:
Transform your body and mindset through expert feedback that enhances both physical and emotional well-being.

Healing Injury? For those who have a history of injury or trauma and notice that the effects of the minor/major injuries are beginning to interfere with your everyday lives, please note that all of the yoga classes are naturally healing.
Each yoga class is designed to help release stored pain, anxiety, stress, or tension you may be experiencing so that vital, healing energy – prana – can move freely through the entire body. When vital energy is flowing freely (not obstructed), you experience positive emotions, revitalized energy, mental clarity, lightness, pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being.
