Yoga | Summer 2024

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED

SESSION #1
July 13, 2024  |  9:00am – 12:00pm

MERRITT CIVIC CENTRE   |  $60

In this three-hour session, we will start with a short introduction to the Yamas and Niyamas (the yoga lifestyle) before moving into a Vinyasa practice with a focus on the anatomical structures of the body and how best to use them. Then a short tea and snack break with some discussion of what Yoga means in modern times. We will then have a Yin practice with a focus on the emotional benefits of Yin. To wrap up the morning there will be a guided loving kindness (metta) meditation and Yoga Nidra before a good long shivasana.

SESSION #2
August 10, 2024   |    9:00am – 12:00pm

MERRITT CIVIC CENTRE   |  $60

How can we use the Yoga Lifestyle to add value and meaning to our lives? Is yoga a religion? What does it mean to be a yogini or yogi? And how do we interpret this for modern living? Handily, there are few books and nice graphics that can answer all these questions!

Therapeutic Tuesdays

THERAPEUTIC VINYASA: “How to inhabit your body”

While still based on the traditional Sun Salutation of Vinyasa Yoga, this Therapeutic Vinyasa class will be much slower in pace to allow us the time to break down poses and learn to integrate movement into the whole body.  We will also use movement from Tensegrity, breathwork, and guided meditation to round out the practice.  We will be using props more often than not to develop better body mechanics and awareness.  This class is appropriate for anyone but more for older adults, injuries and persistent pain, life-limiting illness, and caregivers.  Please be aware that Lindsay is not a pre/postnatal yoga instructor and this class is not appropriate for pre/postnatal students.

THERAPEUTIC YIN: “How to feel your body”

This Therapeutic Yin class will not always be a true Yin Yoga class and it will be very gently paced.  We will incorporate movement from Yin, Tensegrity, Restorative, and (light) Vinyasa to create a full and meaningful practice.  We will also use breathwork and guided meditation throughout the class to highlight themes and create a path to calm movement.  This class is appropriate for anyone but more for older adults, injuries, persistent pain, life-limiting illness, and caregivers. Please note that Lindsay is not a pre/postnatal yoga instructor and this class is not appropriate for pre/postnatal students.
