**If you are interested in the PranaStretch class (or in forming another Yoga group class in the evening) please contact me with your availability, as last year's schedule is changing. I will be happy to find the best time so that any or all of you who are interested in the class might be able to attend it. It is an unusual and beautiful practice that I am always happy to share, as it is in this work I experienced the most positive transformations for myself and my life.

INFORMATION ON THE DIFFERENT CLASSES:

NEW: Movement for Performers (in English and French) is all about relationships -- the relationship within one's own body and being, with the world around us and with each other. We integrate the attention and breath with the body's movement, working with gravity and spatial awareness to develop awareness, strength and ease. Then we move out into the world to move in contact with others, developing not only the animal grace inherent in each of us, but also the ability to "listen," respond and "speak" through the body. This class is designed for actors and performers and is open to all levels. It is lots of fun, and all are welcome! Drop-ins are accepted and class cards are available. For more information, click here.

Integral Hatha Yoga combines the traditional elements of yogic postures, breathing practices, chanting, deep relaxation and meditation. This is an excellent way to stretches, strengthens, calms and focuses the body and mind, bringing awareness inward toward balance and holistic health. Drop-in classes are accepted and class cards are available. For more information about yoga, click here.

PranaStretch is both an intense and a deeply relaxing yoga practice focusing on integrating breath, attention and movement, or one might say mind, body and soul. Designed for serious students wishing to maintain a steady and focused practice, the class develops clarity, strength, ease and flexibility. It relies strongly on the yogic principles of ahimsa (non-harm), satya (honesty), tapas (exigence), aparigraha (acceptance of our being), svadhaya (self study) and asks for and develops our inherent courage, compassion and wisdom. Class enrollment is per year (pro-rated when required). A 3-class trial is advised before registering for this class. Ongoing drop-ins are not accepted.
