Who is this class for?

This class is for you if you are new to yoga, or if you’ve ever tried yoga and said “my body doesn’t do that!” It’s also for you if you are not able to get up and down off the floor easily, or you need any extra support with balance. 

What’s it like?

This is a gentle class that will teach you how to adapt yoga for your body instead of trying to pretzel your body into yoga (!). We work with strength, balance, and stretching, and we take it slow. We may work with chairs, blocks, the wall, and other props. There are many ways to adapt poses for different body types, so we allow plenty of time for exploration and questions. Have fun and discover how yoga can benefit you!

Who is this class for?

This class is for you if you like a little challenge while still honoring that Saturday morning chill vibe. Students in this class have some experience with yoga, but if you are new to yoga and fairly active and comfortable moving your body, you are also welcome.

What’s it like?

Slow and Steady Yoga builds strength while also allowing for gentleness and flow. We include strength, flexibility, balance, and we continue to work with breath awareness. (And yes, we do all the lovely moves to strengthen the core!)  For those who’ve worked with me (amy) in the past, you might remember this as our classic Slow and Steady Yoga from the CCY studio days. 

Who is this class for? 

This is a great class for you if you are new to yoga, or if you have tried yoga but felt like you couldn’t make it work for your body.  

What’s it like?

In this slow and gentle class we work with strength, stretching, and balance. Movements are slow, and you will learn to pay attention to your breath and how that helps create presence and stability in your body. The class structure changes, depending on the needs of the group, but always there is time to explore movements and ask questions as needed.

This class is for you if you already have some experience with yoga and would like to build more strength in your body and in your practice.

What’s it like?

Let’s get strong together! This is Amy’s Slow and Steady class with extra strength work! We will work with a variety of poses and unique movements that address different areas of strength in the body. We will include (of course!) core work and balance, and probably plenty of laughter. Class will wind down with slow stretch and release techniques that will set you up for a great day. 

Who is this class for?

This class is for you if you want to move your body in a slow and gentle way, and learn how movement can be meditation. No meditation experience necessary. Beginner yogis welcome. 

What’s it like?

This class will help you find your way into a simple meditation practice through movement. In the October class, you will learn a simple flow that you can do at home whenever you like. In the November class, we will begin with that familiar flow, and you will learn how to add your own movements. The December class will be more free-form. You will be able to find your own movement-meditation with less guidance from a teacher. There are many doorways into meditation, and this is a simple practice that you can use in your life anytime you like. 

Who is this class for?

Anyone and everyone can learn something about stretching. No experience necessary. Stretch as you are! 

What’s it like?

You will learn simple stretching principles, and how to apply them in your body. We are say “just listen to your body” but how do we do that? Stretching is a great way to begin to listen. Learn where your edges are, when to stretch more, when to stretch less, and how to adapt a stretch for your body. In the October class, we will begin with an introduction to active and passive stretching. In the November class, we will continue with that and add some gentle yin-style stretches. And in December, we will include some restorative postures. In December, we will meet on the Winter Solstice, which is a great time to turn inward and listen to the needs of your body!
