Yoga Around Town

There are many ways to get your exercise and the traditional weightlifting or running routines can use a rest. Local yoga studios have a variety of classes to fit any need: from prenatal and children’s yoga, to simple meditation classes, area studios provide fitness, community and balance. Check out this roundup— a yogi’s dream come true. 

Also, here is a simple yoga cheat sheet for those new to the world of yoga:
Vinyasa: the movement or space between poses, usually set in harmony with steady breathing to create a flowing sequence and harmony of the two.
Kirya: a series of postures, breaths, and sound that work together to bring forth a specific outcome. Practicing this form of yoga initiates mental changes that affect the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously.
Reiki: traditionally Japanese, this is a healing technique that incorporates a healer or therapist who can channel energy into an individual by means of touch to activate natural healing and the restoration of the physical body as well as emotional well-being.
CCT: a culmination of 3 phases to bring about a change to a new level of health, manifestation, and transformation of an individual.
Chair Yoga: this gentle and distinct form of yoga is practiced sitting on or using a chair for support.  
Ashtanga: yoga based on eight principles and consists of a series of poses in swift succession, combined with deep, controlled breathing.
Hatha: combination of “ha” meaning “sun” and “tha” meaning “moon”. This refers to the balance of masculine aspects- active, hot, and sun— and feminine aspects— receptive, cool, and moon- within all of us. It is also about creating balance and uniting opposites.
