Mantra and Yogic Chant
Nov 17, 4:00 - 5:00 pm
The word mantra means "mind protection" and is associated with a sound or phrase that is repeated. Words, like all sounds, carry vibrations in them. When we repeat fearful, judgmental and angry words, we fill our minds with those sentiments. When we repeat loving phrases, we gradually tune ourselves to resonate with love. Mantra promotes a sense of peace and well-being, empties the mind of negativity, and opens us to meditation and stillness. Mantra that is intoned is chant, which enhances the vibration effect. This class is open to all levels of experience, from the curious to the committed!
Cost is $20 at the door. Yoga Shivaya members may use your pass. No need to register; just come!
Kathleen Conlon Hinge, certified 500-hour yoga instructor, founded Yoga Shivaya with the philosophy that growth and flexibility happen only with compassionate awareness of our bodies as they are. By practicing compassion for ourselves, our hearts naturally open to greater compassion for others.

Move into Stillness: A Gentle Yoga Retreat with Kathleen Hinge
Oct 6, 2:00 - 5:00 pm
Stillness is not the absence or negation of energy, life, or movement. Stillness is dynamic. It is unconflicted movement, life in harmony with itself, skill in action. It can be experienced whenever there is total, uninhibited, unconflicted participation in the moment you are in--when you are wholeheartedly present with whatever you are doing. -- Erich Schiffmann
Join Kathleen for a gentle yoga retreat, accessible for all levels of yoga experience and physical ability. We'll slow way down, led by meditative awareness on breath and sensation, committed to moving only within the body's comfortable range of motion. Experience "moving into stillness," which leads effortlessly to an extended savasana (deep relaxation) and closes with quiet, wholehearted presence in seated meditation.
Cost is $45 if you register before Sep 30; $60 thereafter.

Yin Yoga & Acupuncture
June 5, 7:00 - 8:30 pm Yin Yoga and Acupuncture promote health and well-being by enhancing the flow of Life Force (chi, prana) through the body. Yin Yoga does this by placing the body into a sequence of particular shapes, and then holding these shapes passively for several minutes each. Each Yin pose creates a constructive tension within a different region of the body that, upon release of the pose, causes chi to flood the region. Acupuncture enhances the flow of chi by painlessly inserting needles at particular points in the body where the chi pathways (meridians) flow. We'll focus specifically on the heart and small intestine meridians as these are the dominant energy meridians in summer. This gentle practice is suitable to all levels. Cost is $35 in advance; $40 at the door. |
