Sunday Yoga Sessions – April 26, 2026
Inspiration:
“Asanas make your body supple and bring alertness to your mind, while soothing your nerves and glands, relaxing your brain, and maintaining physical, physiological, and emotional balance.” — B.K.S. Iyengar

The Art of Practice

Description: The Art of Practice is a yoga journey of self-discovery and personal transformation that requires discipline, effort, and a commitment to being present in the moment. Mindful movement and yoga flow cultivates inner peace, balance, and self-awareness, so you can connect with your true essence. 

This class includes meditation, breathing, chanting, and body awareness.

Challenge yourself
Start your practice by challenging yourself with difficult movements, and look for new challenges each day.
Be present
Let go of the past and the future, and focus on your practice in the moment.
Embrace the journey
The art of yoga practice is about accepting the process of self-discovery, not about achieving perfection in poses.

 

Physical, Mental, and Emotional Benefits:

  • Builds strength and flexibility: The continuous, flowing movements through various poses build muscle strength and lengthen muscles, increasing overall flexibility and mobility.
  • Improves cardiovascular health: The faster pace and continuous motion increase your heart rate, providing a cardio workout and improving stamina.
  • Enhances posture and balance: By building core strength and improving body awareness, it can lead to better posture and coordination.
  • Aids in weight management: Some studies suggest that the cardiovascular benefits can lead to weight loss, especially when practiced regularly.
  • Promotes circulation and detox: The increased heart rate and internal heat can stimulate blood flow and circulation, helping to purify the body.
  • Reduces stress and anxiety: Syncing breath with movement acts as a moving meditation, which helps quiet the mind, reduce stress, and calm anxiety.
  • Improves focus and concentration: The practice requires a high level of focus on the breath and movements, which can improve concentration both on and off the mat.
  • Boosts mood: By releasing tension in the body and mind, and potentially triggering the release of endorphins, flow yoga can elevate your mood and promote a more positive outlook.
  • Increases mindfulness: The mindful connection between breath, movement, and body awareness fosters a deeper sense of presence and self-connection

Transformational Work:
Feel the positive energy flow, and receive expert feedback to enhance your body’s foundation and alignment.

Sunday, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm | Session D

Yoga to Relax the Nervous System

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 and restoratives 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

  • Restores and relaxes the body, mind, and spirit
  • Increases circulation in the body
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Enhances deeper diaphragm breathing
  • Improves the immune system and decreases inflammation
  • Soothes and calms the nerves and mind
  • Relieves tension headaches

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.
