SPECIAL UPCOMING CLASSES
Mon Jan 16 & Wed Jan 18: Building Balance. Yoga not only to strengthen our balance and core muscles for standing poses, but also in floor poses. This will help us stay steady while walking on slippery ice, build strength for skiing and snowshoeing, and impart grace and poise as we stand and walk.
Mon Jan 23 & Wed Jan 25: Stress-Busting Yoga to Achieve Deep Relaxation. We'll do lots of stress-busting yoga, strengthening, and breathing exercises, then end class with a longer-than-usual deep relaxation to take advantage of the state our bodies and minds will be in!
*Mondays 2 classes:

Yoga can be the shining light of a long, cold winter. Take the time to reconnect with your inner self. Find again your warmth, your inner glow, fire up your strength, stretch out muscles that might have spent much of the day sitting, bolster your immune system. The rewards are great, but none greater than being able to spend time with yourself in this natural, simple way, where you can reconnect with your heart, your mind and your body as you watch yourself become stronger, more balanced, calmer and, hopefully, more joyful.
Each class has a theme; the first few classes will be long, exuberant wake-up stretches with a bit of strengthening and balancing thrown in and will build in rigor across the semester. If it’s a particularly snowy winter, we'll do shoulder/ back/ arm yoga yoga to help ease sore shoveling muscles and standing balances for steadier walking on slippery sidewalks. If it's gray and dark, maybe yoga for depression, including a meditation for internal peace, heart openers and upper backbends to bring joy. Every winter we do a class to help prevent breast cancer (the yoga in this class is wonderful for men, too). Other classes will focus on specific body therapies, like loosening tight hips, shoulders, releasing the neck, hamstrings, lower back, and more.

Our September 2011 Yoga-Alexander Technique Retreat
in Bristol,
NH was a resounding success!!
(she said, modestly :) Linda Carmichael and I had a wonderful
group who not only participated enthusiastically in the Yoga classes while Linda did Alexander Technique on them, but who enjoyed getting to know one other, hang out and have
fun! During free time, some swam and kayaked and hiked, others sat on the porch overlooking the stony rushing river and talked or read. In
class, we delved into 4 long classes over the 2 days: 1) Liberating the Ribcage, 2) strategies
to help Relieve Chronic Pain using yoga stretches and yoga for better
digestion (with suggestions for better eating strategies); 3) "Favorite
Yoga" - many interesting and challenging poses, and 4) "Self
Compassion", which included a guided visualization, heart-opening yoga, a
facial and lymph massage, and ended with our taste-testing Godiva and Lindt
dark chocolate. Linda also gave each one their own private AT session. Plus we had
wonderful meals at Linda's restaurant and attended an astonishing Sat night concert starring "Ameranouche" there. The participants are already talking about the next retreat!

Every semester Linda Carmichael, a highly experienced Alexander Technique teacher, comes to classes one night and does her hands-on Alexander on us as we do the yoga. This technique helps get stuck energy flowing again, is aligning and extremely relaxing. There is no extra charge for this special treatment. Student feedback is always very enthusiastic! I hope you can try it. Dates TBD - for the specific dates, watch www.Facebook.com/ComeToYoga or send me an email to get on the mailing list.
