OUR STUDENT'S WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL "I'M HOOKED...on Yoga Since I was old enough to realize the importance of exercise, I've indulged in running, weight lifting, soccer, softball, skiing, roller blading and cycling. I've always considered myself an athlete, and now that I am 40, my body is telling me things I don't want to hear. These days, aches and pains in my knees, my hips and back, serve as a constant reminder that I might just be getting too old for my athletic passions! As a result, I found myself searching for something that could replace and combine the cardio benefits of running with the muscle toning of weight lifting. So, I did some research on the internet and found Rachel! I couldn't believe the results I achieved in such a short amount of time. Rachel not only has a gift for teaching yoga, she has a gift for making people feel good about themselves--mind, body and soul. She gives special attention to each student by repeating important techniques, emphasizes the importance of honoring your body's limits, helps each class member maintain focus, and most importantly breath! I can assure you that yoga, and Rachel, will help you achieve just that and more." Namaste, JoAnne Howland (pix of Joan below) DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES: POWER VINYASA YOGA CLASS: This style of yoga which involves synchronizing the breath with progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. VERY GOOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE ATHLETIC. COMBOLATES (a fusion of Yoga and Pilates): Joseph Pilates, a German fellow, developed this discipline in the 1930's and it specifically works your body to reshape it and tone it so that you look longer and leaner. It works your whole body and its techniques are amazing to tone and tighten your mid-section (for fabulous abs!). ComboLates combines the most effective areas of Pilates and Yoga so you may take advantage of the best workout for your body, mind & spirit. PILATES BALL Using the ball (the large Swiss ball) makes classic exercises more effective with less effort. By working out on the ball, one engages his/her trunk stabilizers (particularly the abdominals) in addition to the area one is specifically targeting. It is an excellent workout and also lots of fun! Now available as a private class only. YOGA FOR STRESS & ANXIETY/POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME: This program will end with your "fears" and your "what ifs..." and will give you mental peace! We have incorporated in the program specific yoga postures, breathing and relaxation techniques as well as meditation techniques.
