Classes

Diane believes that learning to breathe completely and allowing your movement to be led by your breath is key in all yoga.

For all her classes she encourages students to share any yoga needs (favorite posture?) or goals they may have.

**Additional classes and private sessions are available by request/appointment.

Lunchtime All Levels Yoga

Diane usually teaches the 12:10 class on Thursday. This class is designed to relax and gently increase flexibility and strength through use of the breath and healthy alignment. We will complete our class with floor stretches and twists and of course complete relaxation- shavasana. The goal is for you to leave class relaxed, refreshed, renewed, (not sweaty) and ready to greet the rest of your day.

Saturday All Levels Yoga

Diane generally teaches Saturday once or twice a month. Like the lunch time class this class is designed to relax and gently increase flexibility and strength through use of the breath and healthy alignment. Usually we will also have more wonderful heat building sun salutations… so if you wish to work up a little sweat we can do that. Or if you desire a more gentle practice you can chose to take more relaxation postures. Modifications will be given to meet student need and interest. We will complete our class with floor stretches and twists and of course complete relaxation- shavasana.

Prenatal and Restorative Yoga for Women

Posted in: Diane Robinson, Yoga Classes |

with Diane Robinson

Restorative yoga is a gentle practice which promotes deep relaxation and healing. Many poses (asanas) are done seated or reclining. The body is supported using props such as blankets or cushions. This allows total relaxation, release of tension, opening up of the body, and creates space for deeper breath.

The restorative prenatal poses are considered among the most beneficial for the expectant mother. These poses relax, open, and strengthen. Restorative yoga can help alleviate many of the common discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, backache, and swelling.

Relaxation breathing techniques promote calm, focus, and a healthy body-mind-spirit connection.
