Yoga in Leavenworth and the North Central Cascades of Washington State

On going classes.  Stay tuned….more classes to be added in April.

Thursday

• 9-10:30am  Creative Vinyasa – Intermediate level class. Vinyasa means “posture flow” – rather than holding poses in isolation, we move from one to the next seemlessly.  Typical Vinyasa is based on Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). In this class, there may be elements of Surya Namaskar, but mostly, it is a non-traditional flow – almost a dance of Yoga.  In Plain.  Please contact me for exact location.

NOTE:  Thursday night East Wenatchee class cancelled.  Please let me know if you would be interested in monthly workshops at this location.

Friday

Friday morning classes currently cancelled as I will be out of town two Fridays a month until June.

Yin Yoga at Balance Point
I will be teaching on Sunday nights in February and March from 5:30 until 7:30. This class is mostly Yin Yoga (I reserve the right to bring a little Yang, if I feel called to do so!). The class is meditative and gentle, although (some say) “intense” as we hold the poses for several minutes with the use of a timer. The poses are not muscular as you would experience in a vinyasa or typical hatha yoga class but rather are held with the muscles relaxed. There are two important aspects of this practice.
One is the physical benefit to the connective tissues of the body which like slow, long, gentle stretches. These tissues are protected in Yang or muscular exercise by the engagement of the muscles.
The second aspect is mental. We hold the poses for several minutes. This requires being in relative stillness, sometimes with strong sensation in the body. How often are we still in our daily lives? This aspect of the practice teaches us many of the same benefits that meditation brings – We learn to quiet our minds, watch thoughts come and go and to not react to every impulse that arises.
Most people who attend regularly love the time that they are allowed to simply be rather than constantly doing doing doing.
Variety Yoga Class Thursday nights in Wenatchee
From 7 to 8:30 pm, I teach a small group in a private home in Wenatchee. We are always open to new students joining us. In this class, I include a little bit of everything that I know – Vinyasa, Asana and Alignment, Therapeutics, Yin and Restorative. We have been working on learning a choreographed Vinyasa for the past few weeks.
