I started yoga at home in 2011 using TV programs and DVD’s because I had lost a sense of physical balance. I started attending classes at Art of Balance Yoga shortly after it opened in January 2015 and found more than the regaining of my physical balance. I also found mental awareness, flexibility, and more strength than I’ve ever had before in a non-competitive and supportive community. I completed my RYT-200 Yoga Teacher Training at Art of Balance Yoga in June 2018. My goal as a teacher is to share a class with you that is creative and playful but purposeful and that allows you to take away a sense of balance and renewal. We practice as individuals, adapting the practice to be our own, with a group of kindred spirits. Practicing yoga we are centered within ourselves, yet interacting with others just as we need to be when we leave the studio.

Description

Join Jan and Pat for a practice of letting go, as we pass through Mother Nature’s equal day and night – the Autumn Equinox. We honor the energy shift from light to dark, warm to cool and yang to yin as we find symmetry with movements integrating the body, the mind, the breath and the chakras. Enjoy this moving meditation as we equilibrate with familiar shapes such as resting child, majestic tree, grounding mountain and floating twist. The practice will conclude with a restorative, guided meditation. Refreshments follow.
