Instructor - Christa Davidson Certified through Yoga Centre Winnipeg Winter Session - January 9/17 - March 18/17 No classes on statutory holidays. Please see below for class descriptions, schedule and prices. Class Descriptions - Intro to Yoga (Level I) This class is designed for anyone new to yoga or for those who would like to re-connect with their practice. We start with building a foundation by focusing on a wide range of postures including: classical standing postures, seated postures, twists, forward bends, beginner back bends and an introduction to inversions. Proper alignment is emphasized in every posture. Props, such as bolsters, blocks, straps and chairs are used in every class to give each student access to the postures while feeling totally supported. Breath awareness and the importance of relaxing and releasing the body will be integrated into every class. - Alignment Based Hatha Yoga (Level II) This class is for students who have practiced the basic postures and are looking to refine and develop their practice. Correct alignment will be emphasized to allow the student to practice the postures safely and effectively. Props are used to help the student learn a pose, do a pose correctly, or increase the time poses are held. Together, we will explore basic postures more deeply (standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists) and move toward intermediate postures (shoulderstand, headstand, arm balances). - Vinyasa/Flow Yoga Vinyasa/Flow Yoga is a flowing sequence of poses that are linked to the rhythm of the breath. This style of yoga builds upon the Sun Salutations (Classical and Sun Salutation A & B). The connection between breath and movement creates a moving meditation that builds concentration, strength and flexibility. Props may be used in this class. This class is suitable for all levels, although if you are new to yoga, you may consider the Intro to Yoga (Level I) class first to become familiar with the postures. Restorative Yoga Connect with your inner bliss through the power of restorative yoga. Restorative Yoga aims to bring the system into balance by stimulating and relaxing the body at the same time. Restorative poses are used to relieve stress, fatigue and illness and are also very helpful with physical challenges such as hip problems or low back pain. All of the postures are supported by props to allow the body to completely let go and relax deeply. Restorative Yoga soothes the nervous system, helps to quiet your mind and invites you to let go of tension. This practice is done in a quiet and meditative atmosphere.
