Liz Espersen Power Flow Yoga Wednesdays 5:15 – 6:45 pm Fridays 5:15 – 6:45 pm (through May) Liz's classes are inspired by Ashtanga Yoga and The Rocket Series, which was developed by Larry Schultz as a means of making the Ashtanga Series more accessible to Western practitioners. Expect a unique flowing sequence of poses that will focus on a different theme or asana each class, with alignment queues given as the class moves at a steady pace. The belief is that the use of bhandas (inner body 'locks/engagements), breath and drishti (eye gaze/focus) work to create a transformation in the practitioner, both physically and mentally. Liz creates thoughtful sequences to help deepen your practice and most of all let you have fun in the process, leaving you feeling uplifted. All levels are welcome, if you are injured or pregnant the class can be modified to suit your specific needs. |

Mara Hesed Mama & Me Wednesdays 10:30 - 11:30 am Mama & Me Yoga is so called because it sounds cuter than 'Caregiver and Me', but despite this misnomer, it is intended for all Daddies, Nannies or whomsoever has a baby and wants to take a yoga class. It is open to all levels and abilities and all ages. The goal for the grown-ups is to move and breath a bit. For the baby, it is an opportunity for socialization and an early introduction to yoga. My hope is that people come and everybody has some fun! ($15 suggested, $10 minimum is studio policy--but Mara will take whatever you got!) |

Next, move through poses that focus on balance - practicing the art and discipline of strength and stillness. Class concludes with restorative asana, breath work and meditation. Restore the body, calm the mind, and get closer to the heart of your true practice.
