Yoga for Men

No pain; Yes gain! This class just for men will explore how yoga can help balance the male body to bring greater physical comfort, coordination and effectiveness. Men, with their greater muscle mass, generally face different yoga challenges that are not always well addressed in classes of mostly women.

This three hour workshop will focus on ways to use yoga to loosen tight shoulders, hips and legs. You will learn effective strategies for safely stretching strong and stubborn muscles, as well as building strength in the abdomen and back. Simple exercises you can do at work will help to keep you comfortable and strong all day. Come find out what yoga is all about.

This workshop is appropriate for new beginners as well as continuing students.

ABCs of Upside Down

Inversions are among the most effective tools yoga asana offers. They have a profound impact on the body, from strengthening the skeleton and postural muscles to improving breathing, circulation and digestion. But they can be scary (and, when done improperly, dangerous)!

Join Jane to learn how to practice inversions safely and comfortably. This workshop is appropriate for students with at least 4 months alignment-yoga practice and is ideal for the level 1 student interested in moving on to level 2. We will modify the poses as appropriate for each individual.

Yoga for abdominal conditioning

This three hour workshop will use yoga and movement to explore toning the deeper muscles of the abdomen and spine. Students will learn asanas to strengthen standing and sitting postures as well as active poses to increase abdominal strength. Stronger back and belly muscles ease chronic back pain and give the foundation for improved balance, coordination and health. The workshop is appropriate for students of all levels.
