Beginners Yoga Class-Cindy Brown

A gentle class for students who are brand new to yoga. Stay tuned for new class time. Email Cindy if interested in a beginner class.

Senior Yoga –  Cindy Brown

Senior Yoga is a class specifically designed for students who are over 60 and who are interested in working with and maintaining balance, flexibility and strength as well as gaining all the benefits of yoga through pranayama and deep healing practices. This is not a chair yoga class. (Chair yoga is offered on Tuesdays at 11am). In this class the students will be using mats and will be getting up and down from the floor. The class is gentle and modifiable and Cindy encourages her students to go at their own pace and honor themselves in their individual process.

 Meditation – Cindy Brown

Meditation can be a life altering and very powerful practice. Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned meditator come share this wonderful practice. Cindy will provide instruction, guidance and some gentle meditative preparatory exercises when desired. There will be time allowed for discussion and sharing at each class. We are all explorers on the meditative path and can learn a great deal from each other.

All Level classes with Cindy Brown

Cindy’s  “All Level” yoga classes are slow, deep and meditative with the goal of increased awareness and peace. She accommodates all levels in her classes and encourages her students to honor themselves in their individual process. Cindy works with each individual student to experience their yoga. By  offering challenging postures with less challenging options each student lets go of comparing to others and is able to deepen their experience without hurting or over stretching their bodies.
