Yoga for Every Body: Yoga Cards

Thursday

Various of you have asked me about yoga card decks that I really like and so I'm finally posting my two favorites. Here they are!! Check them out on Amazon.com -- the first has line drawings and the second uses photos.

The Yoga Deck: 50 Poses & Meditations for Body, Mind, & Spirit by Olivia Miller

Yoga: The Poetry of the Body: A 50-Card Practice Deck by Rodney Yee

A little bit about me and the yoga classes that I teach...

I have been practicing yoga on and off for most of my life because I was lucky enough to have a mom who did yoga. In my thirties I got more serious about yoga and I eventually decided that I would like to teach and went through a teacher training program with Scott Anderson and gained my Yoga Alliance certification.

The yoga classes that I teach focus on strengthening and stretching the body by using the breath and holding the poses for between 30 seconds and several minutes. Each pose, or asana, helps with alignment, flexibility and, maybe most importantly, helps us get in touch with our own unique quirky fabulous body. Remember that yoga is about becoming more comfortable in your body, being mindful and enjoying the process. Having a sense of humor is especially important.

You should wear comfy stretchy clothes to yoga, and dress in layers so that you can stay comfortable as your body heats up during class. Yoga is generally done with bare feet, but you may want socks handy for the final relaxation portion of class. Feel free to bring water and your own mat -- although mats and all other props are provided at the studio.

My Tuesday classes are 10$ per class if you drop in (passes are available - 80$ for 10 classes) and the Sunday restorative classes are $15.
