Basics - Jean Hoiland
For a healthy body and peaceful mind, few activities give
as much ‘bang for your buck’ as yoga. Combining
all the goodness of several stress management techniques,
such as diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, stretching and
more, yoga provides some of the best stress management and
health benefits you can find in a single class. Through yoga
you'll strengthen and tone muscles, develop greater range
of motion in the joints, ease stress and tension, calm the
mind and open the heart. This class is aimed at teaching some
of the very basics of yoga, breathing and calming the mind. Second Thursday of each month @ 7:30-8:45pm ($10 drop-in or current membership)
Dennis's
yoga experience ranges from gentle restorative classes at
the Cerebral Palsy Center in Oakland to vigorous vinyasa-style
classes at Seventh Heaven Body Awareness Center and Iron Works
climbing gym in Berkeley. He teaches with an Iyengar-influenced
style, combined with the breath awareness of vinyasa and the
universal principles of Anusara yoga.
We
hope you will take a few minutes to watch the videos from
the workshops, and I encourage you to attend Dennis's workshops
next time he comes to the studio. The first video is a terrific
discussion about the 5 elements and yoga, watch it...
