PRANA MOVEMENT WORKSHOP

  with Kathleen D'Angelo

Sunday January 14th @ 11AM
with Kathleen D'Angelo

This class is based on Sivananda yoga which nurtures its roots in India and follows a classical yoga technique. 

This consists of Pranayama (yogic breathing), chanting ancient mantras, asana flow (various yoga postures) and meditation.  Yoga can teach you to bring your stress under control not only on a physical level, but on a mental and spiritual level as well. 

Through prana movement the physical body will increase flexibility.  Addition of Pranayama or yogic breathing will increase the prana or electrical current in the body. The deep relaxation will calm the body and prepare you for meditation which will instill a sense of serenity and rejuvenation. This class is open to all levels.

Cost: We are asking our clients to let us know in advance
if they are planning on attending either of these wonderful workshops.

If you have a mat class card with us, you can use that to take these classes.

If you are interested in a class, but don't have a card with us,
you may still participate in either of the workshops for only $20.

PILATES TOWER CLASSES:
      A group class on the Pilates machines

If you are looking for a new exercise routine to challenge yourself, or are interested in a new workout to  invigorate your body, consider trying one of our numerous Pilates Tower classes. Benefits of Pilates Tower Classes       These special classes start with the difficult Pilates mat exercises and take them to a new level by incorporating the resistance of the springs on the Tower units. Often the exercises are made even more challenging by the use of the Magic Circle and the Triad Ball. Although these classes are taught in a group setting, the instructors pay attention to each individual and the clients can pause or skip an exercise if it proves too much for them. How to sign up       Please note that we have only five spots available in each Tower class. To assure that everyone gets a chance to work out, we have in the Pilates studio a special Tower book where you can sign yourself up for a class up to two months in advance.       On the 1st Monday of the month we add another 2 months' worth of signup sheets to the book. For example, on January 8th (studio was closed on January 1st) we will add February and March into the book. On Feb 5th we will add April into the book. So please feel free to stop by that 1st Monday of the month and sign yourself up as far into the future as you know your schedule, whether it is a day, a week or two months in advance. Waiting List       If the class you are interested in appears to be full, please put your name down on the waiting list. Our clients cancel usually with at least a 24 hour notice - this may allow you to take the class after all.       We also use the waiting list to see if we need to add another Tower class. If, for example, we notice that a number of people consistently can't get into a class that is always full, we will try and start a new class later that day or add a class at the same time but on a different day. Our studio is genuinely committed to meeting the complex scheduling needs of all our clients.
