April 9, 2010 - Sit Still: Take Flight (Pranayama, Mantra/Chanting & Asana)

The Fourth limb of the eight-limbed path, pranayama, trains us to extend the breath. Pranayama begins to shift our awareness from the outside world to our inner essence, from the body to the mind and toward the Self. The asana focuses on strengthening and honoring the physical body and now pranayama moves to harness the breath and help us find peace within. Join us in this Special 2-Hour Class hosted by Vicki Rickard as we unite the physical practice, pranayama and mantra to discover the oneness of existence and unbounded joy! Learn one of Vicki's favorite chants that you can weave into your daily yoga practice!

July 16, 2010 - Inward Bound: The Journey Outward Begins Inward
(Asana, Pranayama and Diet)

The concept of the five koshas was originally given in the Upanishad to help us understand what is "self" and what is "non-self" In this Special 2-Hour Class hosted by Vicki Rickard, we develop an understanding of the five koshas and the purifying practices of asana, pranayama, diet and chanting. Through a challenging and mindful practice we learn how these ancient practices help us slowly peel off the layers that no longer serve a healthy lifestyle and bring us closer to our true identity. Listen to live music on the harmonium, flute and clarinet during final relaxation.

October 8th, 2010 - AMAZING GRACE (Asana, Pranayama, Mindfulness Practices, Chanting with the Harmonium)

The definition of Grace is "to say a short prayer of thanks before and/or after a meal." It also means "ease of movement" and "thoughtfulness towards one another". Grace fits so beautifully into a yoga class because we typically begin our practice with a short prayer of thanks and gratitude when we set our intention. When we move through the challenging asanas we get to practice moving with ease and fluidity, it's a chance to allow the posture to be an expression of our thoughts. Finally, coming together in a safe environment provides the opportunity to honor each other where we are in our practice, to be thoughtful toward one another and ourselves. Join us in this Special 2-Hour Amazing Grace Yoga Class hosted by Vicki Rickard. Class will begin with delicious chanting and conclude with live music on the Harmonium and Flute.
