In February our wellness sampler classes are with instructors from The Yoga Collaborative. Each class operates independently: feel free to register for one or all of them.

Tuesday February 7, 11am-12pm, in the Hermann Meeting Room: Qigong, with Andrew. Register. 

Qigong, like yoga, is an ancient mind body practice that utilizes breath, gentle movement, and awareness to create a more harmonious connection between mind, body, and spirit. Qigong is easy to learn and offers benefits like less stress and more energy. Join Andrew for this hour long class. The first 40 minutes will be spent practicing Qigong, then Andrew will lead your through a guided meditation followed by deep relaxation.

This class is appropriate for those brand new to Qigong as well as experienced folks. Patrons who enjoy gentle yoga will appreciate what Qigong offers. Please dress for exercise and bring a yoga mat.

Tuesday February 14, 11am-12pm, in the Hermann Meeting Room: Deep Stretch and Relax, with Niisa. Register.

Target chronically tight areas of the body with deep stretches that help relax the body and the mind; then move thru a slow flow of standing and balance poses that help bring fluidity and space to those same areas. The class ends with restorative poses that will leave you feeling more calm and grounded. 

All levels welcome. Please dress for exercise and bring a yoga mat.

Tuesday February 21, 11am-12pm, in the Hermann Meeting Room: Gentle Flow, with Jane. Register.

This class will provide yogis of all levels the opportunity to explore the connection between breath, movement and meditation. Variations and modifications will be provided so that each person can practice in a way that best fits their body.  

All levels welcome. Please dress for exercise and bring a yoga mat.

Tuesday February 28, 11am-12pm, in the Hermann Meeting Room: Vinyasa, with Ray. Register.

Join Ray as she guides you through a slow to moderate alignment focused Vinyasa flow that weaves in pranayama and meditation. Using the technology of Yoga, we can cultivate a deeper sense of awareness into our own self and practice. Modifications will be offered; this class is appropriate for all levels.

All levels welcome. Please dress for exercise and bring a yoga mat.
