Yoga Class Descriptions

Restorative Yoga:

 

Join Raven for a nurturing and relaxing journey into movement, meditation, breathing and supported poses. We will use chairs and props to experience a deeper release in asana. There will be an extra long savasana period with a guided visualization. Raven frequently brings Reiki healing into each session.

This class is suitable for any shape, size, age (adults only please) or level – beginners welcome. Injuries and most medical conditions can be accommodated; please inform Raven of your situation. If you feel more comfortable using your own blanket and/or pillow/cushion, feel free to bring them.


Gentle Kripalu Yoga (and Beginners Yoga for Adults)

 

This class is great for beginners or seasoned yogis and yoginis who want to get back to the basics and deepen their practice. Raven keeps it fun and accessible, helping you to calm the mind while rejuvenating, stretching and strenghtening the body. The focus is on coordinating breath with movement and "building" postures from the ground up. Bring your own yoga sticky mat.

 

There are mats on site, but it's more sanitary to have your own -- we have blocks, blankets, cushions and straps on site.

 

 

 

Special Yoga Therapy Classes -- private or institutional

 

Wheelchair and Limited Mobility Yoga Program

 

I have created a fun and inviting program for seniors and the elderly, especially those with limited mobility. I combine simple yoga movements, stretches to a soundtrack of popular tunes from yesteryear. There is a particular emphasis on deep, deliberate breathing.

 

When the participants get tired of the movement, they can sing along!!

 

These classes are a fantastic addition at nursing homes, assisted living and senior centers.

 

This program (including the music) can be tailored to any age group or population that has challenging limitations or devices and special equipment considerations.
