Class gradually moves toward more challenging asanas and refinements of the body and breath within various postures, followed by relaxation. Basic meditation techniques may be taught. • Intermediate/Advanced Hatha Class begins with a brief centering followed by a shorter warm-up of various regions of the body which tend to accumulate tension. Class may progress with a series of sun salutations to further warm the body. The bulk of class will revolve around refinement of postures. More challenging variations may be offered and asanas may be held longer to allow the practitioner to focus on the energetic subtleties of the posture.

The subsequent sessions, 60 minutes in duration, will address those goals specifically, whether they include pain management, development of form, deepening of practice, calming the mind, etc. If your group, company, or organization would like a private class at Veda Yoga Space or onsite, please contact us!† We are open to working with those of all levels, including teens, chronic back pain sufferers, etc. NEW ADDITIONS! •Tai Chi Tai Chi is an Ancient Chinese practice that joins the mind, body, and spirit. Practitioners use meditation and deep breathing as they perform a series of continuous movements which promote healthy circulation and energy (or “Chi”) flow throughout the body. We focus internally on breath, relaxation and meditation, and in return increase our strength and flexibility externally, working gradually from the inside out. Tai Chi is now widely practiced for its healing benefits for the entire body, which include reducing stress & anxiety, promoting balance & flexibility, increasing muscle strength, bone density, joint integrity, circulation & balance, easing arthritis pain and symptoms of MS, as well as inducing inner calm & harmony. People who practice Tai Chi regularly experience an improvement in their overall sense of well-being and physical agility. It becomes a life-long practice and in turn will lengthen your life! Our main goal is to enjoy our life journey, while improving our health & well-being. We must find balance in this fast paced world by reconnecting our minds and bodies, awakening our souls, and letting our spirit free so we may discover inner peace and come to know true happiness. Students of all levels including fresh beginners are welcome to join in at any time! Free Lecture & Demo, Saturday July 10th, 2:30 - 4:00pm Learn the basics and many benefits of the practice of Tai Chi! All ages and abilities are welcome! This event is FREE & open to the public!

The Dao Yin yoga practice begins with an extensive chakra meditation moving into floor exercises on back, side, stomach and finally standing postures, with minimal inverted postures. There are also specific movements from Chi Kung, and posture flows integrated into the yoga practice, these elements are to promote the flow of chi through the body. As with all forms of yoga, the rewards are many, including increased flexibility, strength, grace, and endurance. The focus on careful regulation of the breath, deep states of relaxation, combined with specific postures and movements create a strong sense of body/mind well being. Dao Yin is appropriate for anyone working at an intermediate level, as modifications can be made to suit all individuals • Vinyasa Yoga Vinyasa is an inspired practice that allows students to find the balance between grace and body awareness, alignment and flow. This class focuses on establishing a connection with the feeling, fluid body, and embracing dynamic movement as meditation. Students will begin to explore creative sequencing of the asanas (poses), along with core integration to build strength, cultivate deep awareness, and develop both individual and collective flow. •Meditation I, II, & III: 6-Week Sessions (pre-registration required, must enroll in sequential order) Weekly Meditation classes will begin with a brief lecture discussing a variety of topics, ranging from different aspects of meditation, to healthy lifestyle tips including information on diet, effective sleep patterns, etc. The bulk of class will focus on the inner aspects of yoga as students will be lead into deep relaxation through use of breath and mantra and will then learn how to enter meditation by concentrating and calming the mind, eliminating the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding their consciousness causing unnecessary stress. Students will learn valuable pranayama (breathing) techniques and will gain a basic understanding of the chakras, or energy centers within the body. As the various meditation techniques are introduced, students will learn how to avoid accumulating tension from challenging encounters, and the routine stress of daily existence will be faced with a calm mind and a positive outlook. Students will develop a cloak of protection against all unfriendly events and will have the energy to be more productive in their studies, work and career goals. Throughout the 6 weeks, the sequential classes will build upon and further develop previous teachings to allow one to learn the steps necessary to fully understand and master the art and science of meditation so that they may eventually develop their own personal practice. At the end of the advanced course students will achieve an amount of mental calmness, inner tranquility, and true self-awareness that will enable them to face any challenges in life with a sense of confidence therefore living a more creative, joyful and disease free existence. The physical aspects of hatha yoga will not be included in the meditation classes though participants will be encouraged to learn and practice regularly to maintain a healthy and pain-free body. .
