Class and Workshop Descriptions:
Meridian Yoga: Opening the Energetic Pathways "Our health is dependent on the free flow of chi/prana (life force) in our mind, body, and soul." Meridian Yoga works to systematically activate and balance energy in the fourteen major meridians-- or energy pathways-- of Oriental medicine fostering physical health and ease of motion, mental peace and joy, and a feeling of connection with the creative infinite. Meridian Yoga includes poses and partner assists to open and balance each of the 14 meridians, improving the health and functioning of the associated organs; PNF/Resistance Stretching, a modern stretching method, scientifically proven to be the most efficient and safest way to elongate muscles and increase range of motion; Shiatsu techniques (work with acupuncture meridians using finger pressure) that complement the partner-assisted stretches, increasing the circulation of chi energy; and breathing exercises (pranayama) to contact and activate prana. Partner Yoga Using gentle pressure, body weight, and skillful touch, we will work one on one to maximize our stretching and perfect our alignment in classical yoga postures. A modern stretching technique called resistance stretching and some basic massage techniques will be taught. Feel free to attend alone or with a partner.
