Spring/Summer 2023

Strong & Steady Yoga Classes

Get Energized Throughout the Year!

With a weekly Strong and Steady Yoga practice you will reap many benefits of movement in carefully sequenced postures to meet the winter and wet early spring season of year! 

This mind-body practice, when practiced regularly, keeps you flexible, strengthens the back and joints, builds breath awareness, and opens the heart. Strong & Steady Yoga is an approach to movement that builds inner resilience in mind and spirit as we have fun and refine our physical alignment in key foundational postures.  

THIS SPRING/SUMMER…

• All classes will continue to be taught live via Zoom (if the virus status changes, in-person classes may be an option for the spring sessions) 
• $95 session special (NEW participants)
• Classes will focus on strengthening the backbone: Let’s Celebrate the Spine!

Weekly Class Schedule, Times & Cost

Tuesdays 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Love Your Bones: This chair-to-mat class focuses on postures that support bone health. We practice specific postures that target muscles and tissue in the spine and hips to stimulate bone development. This is an accessible class that is well paired with the Friday morning class. Dates: Spring/Summer Session (8 weeks): May 16 – July 11, 2023 (NO CLASS JULY 4).

Wednesdays 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. Mid-Week Yoga Recharge: This mat-based class builds strength and stability in body, breath, and mind. Together we focus on alignment and fundamentals to build postures from the ground up, including lunges, balance postures, twists, and back bends. Dates: Spring/Summer Session (8 weeks): May 17 – July 12, 2023 (NO CLASS JULY 5).

Fridays 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. Open Your Body, Mind and Joints: This gentle chair-to-mat class is designed to release tension, stretch the body, and support joint health. Full focus is on safe movement, alignment that supports the healthy spine. As my most accessible class, it is great for anyone with age-related health conditions or those recovering from physical injury or surgery. Dates: Spring/Summer Session (8 weeks): May 19 – July 7, 2023.

Saturdays 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. Joyful Weekend Yoga Opener: This mat-based class builds strength and stability in body, breath, and mind.

Notes about Live Zoom Yoga:

Virtual classes allow you to be with YOUR experience without the distraction of other participants in the room. At the same time, you are responsible for the safety of your practice. Stay within your personal limitations. It’s better to build up strength over time rather than force or strain. Aim for exertion with relaxation. Stay safe and adapt the teachings to your level of energy and flexibility, inviting joy and release into your day… Come try it out!

Accessing Zoom: All classes are taught live via the Zoom platform. You can sign up for a free Zoom account at: https://zoom.us/ I will send you the specific class link once you have signed up for a class.

Preparation: Please set up your personal practice space at home with your yoga mat (rug, towel) or chair (solid folding chairs are great), blocks (thick books), a strap (belt, dog leash, sash). It’s nice to have a blanket and pillow handy as well.

Please arrive into the Zoom room a few minutes early to settle in and adjust settings. I typically arrive into our Zoom room 10 minutes before class and am available to stay on for 10 minutes after class.

Let me know if you’ve got any questions… I look forward to our yoga journey together!
