We know you are on a tight schedule. Chair Yoga can be done in as little as 20 minutes, without changing out of your work clothes, right in the conference room. It is also great for the colleagues who wouldn’t try group fitness or yoga but need a good stretch and a break to breathe. As with all yoga classes, we teach essential breathing techniques that manage stress right in the moment!

Love music? Love to dance? Or want to move while you exercise? This class will make your whole body smile! This fun, Latin music inspired dance class has the whole body moving and sneaks in cardio and muscle toning benefits. This is the class to do if you need the cardio but have a tough time motivating to do it. We still fit in the crunches, lunges, and twists!

This three part workshop is to teach participants how to be more aware and awake while eating. Eating tends to be a time we distract: reading, watching TV, or socializing while we munch. And we look for external cues on how much to eat regarding portion size, caloric intake, or even when we judge our weight gain.
Mindful eating gives us more choices and turns our attention inward to look for internal cues regarding taste, satiety, hunger levels, and fullness. Also we learn a number of short and long meditations to increase our mindful attitude when sitting down to eat.

A class that develops the skill of being present and flexible in changing circumstances. Meditation techniques, efficient breathing, relaxation and gentle yoga-based physical movements are introduced. Companies like Google and General Mills teach mindfulness practices to their executives to enhance performance within the company. This is a great special workshop at department meetings, retreats, or training events.

The MELT Method is an innovative technique of pressing hard and soft balls on points on the hands and feet to relieve stress and pain in the upper and lower body. It affects the connective tissue which may be the key to pain management without drugs. Great for carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and enhanced physical performance. You can feel the effects after only 20 minutes! It is a great workshop to introduce wellness to a population with significant physical limitations or is not interested in a “fitness” routine.

This class adapts yoga therapeutically to address anxiety, depression, grief and other emotional states. This is open to all, especially those wanting to dive in to a deeper understanding of yoga’s applications. Breathing techniques, hand positions (mudras), sound therapy (mantra) and guided relaxation (yoga nidra) are introduced.

Do you struggle to sleep well? Do your co-workers? We will draw the connection between the practice of Yoga Nidra and a good night’s sleep. Yoga Nidra, the practice, is done laying down or supported with the head resting on the table. This practice has been studied in groups experiencing PTSD and has proven to help release deeply held mental and physical tension within a 15 minute practice.

Many want to try meditation but don’t know how. Others have tried and discontinued their practice. Some don’t know anything about meditation but need something to release stress. In this lunch and learn we warm up the mind to practicing meditation. This is educational and experiential. The meditation we do at the end of the presentation reflects what participants are interested in learning about.
