Thursday
Hatha Yoga with Michelle: Thursdays, 9:00-10:00 am Hatha yoga refers to a set of physical exercises (asanas) designed to align the muscles and bones and open the many energy channels of the body, especially the spine, so that energy can flow freely. Hatha yoga is intended to create a balance of strength and flexibility in the body as well as a balance of effort and surrender in each asana. A powerful tool for self-transformation, Hatha yoga requires that one pay special attention to the breath, which helps calm the fluctuations of the mind. This allows the practitioner to become more present in the unfolding of each moment, resulting in more awareness, relaxation, and vitality. Together we will explore the sacred power of yoga. This class is designed to allow students to participate at their own ability and is suitable for all levels. Instructor: Michelle Greenfield Saturday Hatha Yoga: Saturdays, 9:00-10:00 am Saturday morning yoga is for all levels to start and invigorate your weekend. Based on principles of Hatha Yoga, this class combines various modifiable asanas and pranayama to cultivate self-compassion, foster resilience, and strengthen the body and mind. Instructors: Various - check calendar to see who is teaching Sunday Meditation Circle - Sundays, 10:00-11:15 am by donation to Village Productions Whether you are an experienced meditator, or would like to learn about the practice, all are welcome.

It is a different experience than active styles of yoga. It is a restful practice where Yoga Poses (asanas) are held for a longer duration with passive support of props like yoga blocks, blankets, and bolsters. You will experience slow soft opening of joints and muscles, with a great emphasis on breath and internal reflection. Possible Benefits: Relaxation, reduced stress , better sleep and mood, with consistent practice can strengthen the connective tissues around joints. Dress comfortably and dress a little warmer due to inactivity and cooler weather. You msy want to bring a scarf or eye mask. Stillness is a powerful practice!
