September Newsletter
Hello everyone,
My September yoga class schedule is available for registration. This time of year, as seasons and schedules shift, the theme will be GROUNDING. There are five group classes offered weekly. This way, carving out space to connect to your body and breath can help you develop a routine for stability and comfort.
If you’re choosing a dynamic, active practice, I am offering three vinyasa classes:
Tuesdays 7:30pm Vinyasa class - Offering stability. This will work pranayama and how the breaths rhythm guides us uniquely not only to flow from pose to pose, but to maintain energy and stay focused.
Saturdays 9am Intermediate Vinyasa - Offering challenge. This will work on unique sets of postures towards new shapes, taking us further mentally and physically.
Saturdays 10:30am Intro to Yoga, Learning the Basics - Offering potential. This will work on the 5 Yamas and 5 Niyamas. Our yogic philosophy and how this mindset helps us not only in our physical practice, but in our lives.
If you are looking a class to reset your breath and uncouple tension, then Monday's 6pm Somatic Movement and Restorative Yoga class (offering peace) gives space to center.
I’ve added Women’s Health Yoga class for a limited time (offering connection) on Wednesdays to help give our ladies relief. The topics are pelvic floor toning, urinary tract health, balancing hormones in perimenopause and menopause and freedom from anxiety and fatigue.
As you move from Summer and prepare for autumn, i offer private Ayurveda sessions for health and wellness. Refer to the website for details. Regardless of the class or private session that you choose, I always include guided meditation.
Alternatively, consider offering a gift of health and wellness for a friend or a loved one with a Yoga and Melody gift certificate!
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you this September!
Namaste,
Melody Harden-Sandhu
