Yoga and T'ai Chi Chuan

No Classes July and Aguust.

Yoga

Begins Sep 15, 2010

Wednesdays 5:30 to 7pm

Taught by Debi Moore

Debi provides a safe environment where the students can discover and experience their own bodies through traditional yoga postures and breathing techniques.  She shares her knowledge of proper alignment, contraindications and benefits of the poses, respecting and listening to where your body is at the moment.  Not all poses are for everyone, I strongly advocate finding the postures that resonate with you.  Classes are suitable for all levels of experience.  As you gain familiarity with your body and the poses, a deeper layer of investigation takes place.  You set the pace of your yoga experience. 

T'ai Chi Chuan

Begins Sep 18, 2010

Saturdays 10am to noon

Taught by Gwen Robart.

Mindfulness through movement.  We experience a gentle series of movements to help balance physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being.  Mindfulness through movement is a wonderful adjunct to sitting meditation.  All members of Friends of the Heart are welcome to attend these classes and may join at any time throughout the year.

The class curriculum will include a warm-up based on breath and movement, walking meditation practice, elements of T'ai Chi Chuan, and silent movement to end the class. Some partner work may also be included.  These teachings are beneficial to students at all levels of their work. Teachings on the philosophy and medicinal benefits of T'ai Chi will be included where appropriate, as well as group discussion and feedback.

Newcomers are welcome at any time. You need only the intent to learn and unfold.
