Moon Haven Studio

Yoga

Yoga is an ancient method of health and healing, a philosophy that originated in India 5000 years ago. The word literally means yoke, or to join, union. When we practice yoga we are uniting our breath, our body, our mind. There are several ways to practice yoga/uniting with our higher selves. Hatha yoga is the broad term that encompasses all the "physical" yoga that we are used to seeing. But there is also karma yoga where we serve others expecting nothing in return, raja yoga whose emphasis is on meditation, bhakti yoga which emphasizes love or devotion, and jnana yoga which involves study, inquiry, and insight. Of course these are all paths we can incorporate into our lives, but hatha yoga is what we will be focusing on.

Our classes are taught in a loving and supportive environment by a seasoned, experienced professional. Each class includes quiet centering, pranayama or breathing practices, asanas or poses to keep you flexible in body and mind, and a deep relaxation at the end of class. Beautiful music plays to help you move toward a more meditative, relaxing state.

Benefits include more energy during the day, sleeping better at night, strengthening of the back, relief from pain in the back and neck, better mental clarity and focus, a feeling of peace, growing older gracefully, and help with just about anything else you have going on.

"Breathing in I calm my body. Breathing out I smile."— Buddhist Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh

You don't have to be flexible to practice yoga. Yoga will help you become more flexible.

Moon Haven Studio offers a quiet, peaceful, space to get away from it all and focus on yourself.

Important Notes

You may bring your own mat, or use one of the mats at the studio.

Bolsters and some blocks and blankets are available for use at the studio, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Remember to practice on an empty or very light stomach. Wait 3 hours after a big meal and 2 hours after a light meal to practice. Twisting and folding our bodies does not work with a full tummy.

Please come to class early to get settled in. If you have to arrive late be very mindful of others and be as quiet as possible.

Please turn off cell phones and pagers.

Please let the instructor know of any injuries or conditions you have, such as pregnancy, high blood pressure, neck problems, etc., so she can better assist you.

Bring water to class.

Listen to your body and do not force yourself ever in class.

"It is inner stillness that will save and transform the world."— Eckart Tolle

Listen to your body, open your
heart, lift your spirit.

"When I took my very first Yoga class I could not comfortably lie flat on my back. By the end of the 6 week course I was able to lie flat on my back on the floor with no pain at all. It was amazing!"
