The final relaxation includes sound healing, with singing bowls, gongs, rain sticks, chimes and more that will leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.
Preparing for class:
*Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking, checking in, and setting up your mat. Classes take place in the Alma room located in the front courtyard of Casa de Luz.
*While we do have a limited number of mats available, we may not have enough for every student in larger classes. To ensure everyone is covered, we kindly ask that you bring your own mat if you have one. This way, those who truly need to borrow one can do so. With your help, we can continue to support one another and make our shared space comfortable and accessible for all.
We also invite you to bring any personal items (blanket, eye mask, pillow, etc.) that will help you to feel extra comfortable during class.
*Some of our classes may include optional physical touch, such as gentle adjustments or supportive contact, to help guide you in your practice. Your instructor will always announce this at the beginning of class.
If you prefer not to receive any physical touch, please feel free to let the instructor know before class begins. We fully support your choice and want to ensure that you feel safe, respected, and comfortable at all times.
Yoga is like a breath of fresh air for your respiratory system. It teaches you to breathe deeply and fully, which can improve lung capacity and function. Plus, the focus on breath control can help reduce symptoms of conditions like asthma and COPD.
Another misconception is that yoga is just about stretching, but it's like saying a car is just about the wheels. Yoga is a holistic practice that includes breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, all of which can have profound effects on the mind and body.
The breath is like the DJ of your yoga practice - it sets the rhythm and keeps everything flowing smoothly. It helps you stay focused, calm, and connected to your body as you move through the poses.
Yoga helps with weight loss and weight management like a superhero sidekick, always there to lend a helping hand. It can help you burn calories, reduce stress eating, and increase mindfulness around food choices. Plus, it's a lot more fun than running on a treadmill.
Choosing the right yoga class is like picking a movie to watch – you want to find one that matches your mood and interests. Check out different studios, read class descriptions, and don't be afraid to ask questions. And remember, if you end up in a class that's not quite your cup of tea, there's always the next one.
