RASA VINYASA

Liberate that which binds you, identify your strength and illuminate your radiance - GET JUICED!

Rasa is the transforming essence that brings us inner satisfaction. Within yoga, rasa is can be defined as "liquid love".  It is the embodied experience of joy and passion. Without rasa, our yoga and life experiences become dry, rigid, habitual and mundane. Rasa Vinyasa is an active, modern and energetic approach to yoga.  More emphasis is placed on flow than form. In this practice, we connect to the source of our creativity, cultivate gratitude and remember the blessings of our lives. Although this class can be challenging, confident beginners are always welcomed and always supported.
Mondays 6:30pm at Just Plain Yoga - check the Calendar for class updates.

HATHA FLOW YOGA

Gently balanced sequences with flow!

My hatha yoga classes are similar to other yoga classes where students stretch, sweat, breathe deeply and move fluidly. You will experience all of that and much more. I design these classes to balance your body and emotions through energizing and calming sequences of movement. You do not need to over-strive, just breathe and be present to the pulse of inner joy.

Restorative Yoga

Discover Ease...within you

Overworked and overstressed bodies, crave time to rest. Learn how to restoring your well-being with the use of props (blankets, cushions and bolsters are provided) to create positions which support deep states of relaxation. The emphasis of these classes is on dissolving tension, soothing your nervous system and cultivating stillness. Restorative yoga is not about moving dynamically and increasing flexibility, it is about passively opening and gently supporting the body. Look for on-going classes on the Calendar or schedule a private session with Shani.
 

Vinyasa Flow Yoga

Creative sun salutations and asana transitions

Vinyasa yoga is one of the most commonly practiced styles in the west today. Literally translated, ‘vinyasa’ means ‘to arrange’ or ‘to place in a special way’. But often, it is simply translated as ‘flow’, and this can be a useful way to think of vinyasa. It refers to a carefully arranged sequence of asanas (yoga postures). Movement from one asana to the next follows the breath. The result is a smooth, flowing class that become almost dance-like. On-going sessions, Thursdays at 9:30am at Barefoot Wellness.

PRIVATE CLASSES

Personalized instruction for the beginner through the more experienced.

If you are intrigued by the practice of yoga but intimidated about going to a group class, I will cover the fundamentals of a vinyasa flow practice to empower you for trying one of my group classes. Or if you have experience, I can help break the practice down further through discussion, refinement of poses and offer suggestions for developing a personal practice. I will also create a playlist for your personal practice.
Personalized classes can be offered at your home or my private studio in New Cumberland.
