Starting February 5
Sunday 1:30 to 3:00 p.m.
David Emerson comes to us with over ten years experience as a practitioner and over 2000 hours teaching experience in the past five years.
David loves sharing with others the benefits of flexibility, focus and self-empowerment that come from yoga practice. His clear, concise and patient instruction can be easily grasped by beginners. More seasoned practitioners will appreciate more detailed instruction for refining their posture, as well as David's sequencing of the postures for specific benefits.
Expect from David's class a vinyasa style practice that can bring a more dynamic, almost dance-like quality to the yoga asanas. While some yogis and yoginis prefer a faster, more vigorous practice, less experienced students who are still mastering proper engagement can easily overwork, misalign and injure themselves. This class emphasizes mindfulness by moving at a deliberate pace and focusing on linking breath awareness with proper alignment in the yoga poses. This class is appropriate for all levels - modifications will be made for beginners.

This quote taken from a Yoga Journal article by Claudia Cummins describes restorative yoga beautifully. "Let's face it: Some yoga poses taste a little bit sweeter than others. And if yoga were a smorgasbord, restorative postures would most definitely be at the dessert table. These soothing and well-supported poses offer us the opportunity to linger quietly for a few moments and savor the simple sweetness of life." Read more.
In a chronically stressed state, quality of life and perhaps life itself is at risk. The body's capacity to heal itself can be compromised, inhibiting recovery from injury or illness, or it may create new illness or injury, including high blood pressure, ulcers, back pain, immune dysfunction and depression.
The antidote to stress is relaxation. Restorative yoga focuses on relaxation, renewal, effortlessness and ease. Blankets, bolsters, straps, and other props safely support the body in various postures which allows the body to move towards a state of balance. This practice soothes your nervous system, helps you quiet your mind and invites you to release deeply held tension.

Thursdays 9:00 - 10:15 a.m.

Arthritis in its many forms affects more than seventy million (or one in three) American adults, according to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Yoga moves the joints into extreme, but safe positions, allowing the obscure corners and crevices of each joint to be lubricated with life-sustaining synovial fluid. Without good circulation of the synovial fluid, cartilage can also fall into a state of disrepair. Yoga as a remedy for arthritis will increase one's range of movement, relieve pain and empower the practitioner.
This class is for those of you who feel that you are not capable of attending a regular yoga class because of what you feel are your limitations. The pace of this class will stay gentle and modifications will be make to allow each student to find comfort in the pose. Some of you will feel comfortable on the floor, while others will find using chairs to be more comfortable. Everything that we do can be easily practiced at home, and we will include several handouts during the session to inspire you to practice daily.
Practice yoga daily and move with ease and comfort!
Please call Judi Maloy at 336-725-4119 to discuss what you feel are your limitations and concerns.

March 23-25, 2012
Judi and Lynn have noticed that more and more of our students have expressed an interest in going to "the ashram" as a group. Whether your desire to experience an ashram was brought on by the popular book, Eat, Pray, Love, a desire to be with like minded people in an environment established on yogic principles, or just curiosity, you will find Yogaville to be an oasis and it will give you an experience that you most likely will long to repeat.
We have decided that the best way to introduce people to our cherished haven is to bring a group to a Welcome Weekend where you can become immersed in the community and yet feel comfortable having your friends and teachers close by.
The weekend that we have chosen is March 23-25, 2012. The ashram is 3.5 hours away and we will establish a car pool so that you will have company on the way up. Check-in time is 3:30 p.m., on Friday and check-out time is after lunch on Sunday.
The accommodations vary, so to find out more click here.
