We are celebrating our 20th year of continuous operations! Thank you to all of our students who have passed through our studio and those who have been with us throughout!
Regularly scheduled classes for 2018 are now posted. The Fall Series 2018 begins the first Tuesday after Labor Day. We will continue our regularly class schedule through mid-December. The Winter/Spring schedule commences the second week in January 2019.
Enrichment of my teaching and personal practice has been deepened in 2017/2018. Many thanks to Practice Yoga Studio in Philadelphia and Simply Yoga in Princeton, NJ for hosting their workshops.
Yoga takes the individual student step-by-step to under-STAND the technique of coming alive to one's own balance, strength and flexibility.
Life is rushed and some yoga classes are taught in a fast-paced, rushed manner that does not contribute to learning on a deep level. Yoga is slow, steady learning process thats extends your brain from the bottom of your foot to the top of your head. This takes time!
The use of props, for instance, including blocks and belts to help you stretch when you "just can't reach that far"; bolsters and blankets used to gradually open the back and hips that have become "too stiff to bend that way"; chair, walls and floor to assist the spine in extension eventually will allow all of you who are new to yoga to use it as "the golden key which unlocks the door to peace, tranquility and joy".
At the Very Near Yoga Studio, your experience will be as though you were attending a mini-workshop.
Our classes offer great solutions for the problems of aging and the stress of modern life. Using the principles of traction coupled with relaxation and deep breathing, using specialized props which facilitate realignment and energy flow, our 90 minute classes present the student with the techniques to carry on the process at home.
As the above illustration shows, the muscle groups of the rib cage, lower back, glutes and hamstrings are all connected, but separate. Upper torso flexibility is an important component of oxygenating the heart and lung functions. Integrating the systems of heart and lung function with lower body mobility, we will get you out of your rocking chair!
