“I wanted to tell you how very much I enjoyed the guided meditation and Nia class last Saturday. The meditation made me feel unbelievably light and present, and I hope that my resulting enthusiasm for the Nia class wasn’t excessive as a result! I haven’t danced in years, and clearly I have really missed it; I will certainly be attending future classes with you — thank you for that gift”.

“I highly recommend the Yoga for Runners class. I started running fairly late in life, at 47. I love running and I love racing. When I turned 49, as a challenge, I ran ten 1/2 marathons in 10 weeks. I was 50 when I ran my first marathon. In the following 18 months, I ran 5 marathons, including Boston and New York City (2008). For the last two years I constantly felt “off balance” (recurring sore right knee, recurring sore left Achilles). I started the Yoga for Runners class in September 2009. The Yoga for Runners class has improved my flexibility and range of motion (Achilles tendon) and has started to strengthen and restore my muscle balance. Yoga is much more of a workout than I ever anticipated. After the first class, I felt I had run a 1/2 marathon. I think that the class would be good for non-runners too and I look forward to the 2010 season, for both running and yoga.”

Pranayama is the art of breath manipulation and energy balance. Pranayama involves breathing techniques practiced thousands of diffirent ways.
Almost every cell in the body benefits from the regular practice of pranayama. After a session breathing is naturally long and rhythmic. All of the bodies organs are properly supplied with oxygen allowing them to function properly.
Breathing techniques are done to balance the intake of an invisible energy known as Prana which is thought to enter with the air. Just as air enters the body with water, yet both are separate, so too prana enters with the air.

With the regular practice of pranayama lines of energy are untangled. Energy flows freely.
Rhythms of breathing are perfectly balanced which means long healthy natural breathing occurs unconsciously after practice.
“A balanced breath leads to a balance mind.”
