Based  on a 5,000-year-old philosophy, Integral Yoga® teaches spiritual  practices that encourage higher levels of awareness. During a typical two hour class, students spend approximately fifty-five minutes doing asanas (sustained poses), twenty-five minutes in yoga nidra (deep relaxation), twenty minutes doing pranayama (breath control), and twenty minutes in dhyana (meditation/prayer).

Yoga  is not a religion and can be practiced by people of any denomination or  religious belief.  Yoga is the science of  living peacefully and  joyfully always and is useful for gentle fitness and stress management.  

You will benefit regardless of your physical condition. Asanas (sustained poses) are taught for three levels of physical ability: in a chair, using a chair for support, and independent of a chair.

Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Feel your heart open as you sing songs from all spiritual traditions.

Chanting is a wonderful prelude to meditation/prayer.

Meditation/prayer provides physical, mental, and  spiritual benefits. It reduces stress, brings you awareness of the peace  within, and ultimately enables you to become master of your own mind.

Instructions and assistance are available to those who wish to begin or  deepen their practice.

Second Saturday of Every Month  10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Stress  is everywhere and often triggers health problems.  Yet becoming anxious or depressed only makes things worse.  But, while you cannot change the  fact that stress is everywhere, you can learn to respond skillfully to  life's challenges and maintain your equilibrium.

During  this three hour workshop, you will learn about stress and its impact,  the stress cycle, and the relaxation response.  Stress management  techniques will be outlined.  The physiological, psychological, and  spiritual benefits of regularly eliciting the relaxation response will be highlighted.

Training is designed to empower you to  include stress management and relaxation skills as part of your life and work. Several techniques used to elicit the relaxation response will be  taught, including breathing techniques, muscle relaxation,  meditation/prayer, and mindfulness. 

Biofeedback  You will be  offered the opportunity to use thermal and/or electrodermal biofeedback  instruments during training. These biofeedback instruments increase awareness of internal changes and thereby enhance development of  relaxation skills.

For over forty-five years I have  successfully taught relaxation techniques to hundreds of individuals of  all ages and have conducted numerous workshops in a variety of settings.  Experience teaches me that, from the myriad of relaxation techniques  available, everyone can learn to relax.
