Create Your Own Personal Yoga Sequence Series
January 6 to February 10 - 6-week series on Zoom
Mondays - 11am - 12pm Central
Use Your Own Personal Sequence on days when you do not attend a yoga class, to keep your body moving, and your mind present. Your sequence can be one that helps to balance the body considering the movements you tend to make through the day, or a sequence that works you towards a specific pose, or maybe you prefer a basic sequence with either gentle yoga or a more challenging practice. It is up to you and what your current goals are. A 10 - 25 minute personal sequence is recommended. The total length of time should be manageable; something that you will enjoy practicing, and actually make room for in your day.
In each of the first three classes, Colleen will guide you through 2 different short yoga sequences (10 to 20 minutes), to demonstrate the many different ways you can put practices together. Then we will talk about what creates a balanced practice, and what your current goals are. From these discussions you will start to consider what you want to include in your Own Personal Sequence.
In each of the last 3 classes, Colleen will guide you through one short yoga sequence (10 to 20 minutes), and then you will to start to put your sequence together. Colleen will help you as much as you want and need, and by the end of the sixth class you will have your Own Personal Sequence.
All classes will be recorded. A link to the video will be sent to each person who registered. Recordings are great if you missed the class, or simply want to review it. All of the videos will be available until a week after the series ends, February 18th.

Restorative Yoga Home-Practice Series
January 13 to February 10 - 5-week Class on Zoom
Mondays - 4pm to 5:15pm Central
You will learn how to use yoga props or replacement home props to properly build the foundation for your Restorative Yoga poses. Each week will feature a different focus: Neck & Shoulders, Healthy Digestion, Low Back, Hips, and a Basic Sequence.
If you would like to learn how to build Restorative Postures for specific areas of focus, so that you can maintain your own self-care, then this series is for you.
Specific Areas Of Focus
The focuses of these six sequences were all thoughtfully chosen.
Neck & Shoulders (Jan 13th)
The neck & shoulders often hold a lot of tension. Computer and desk work contribute to slouched posture and Forward Head Syndrome.
Healthy Digestion (Jan 20th)
The stomach and intestines can be areas that react quickly to stress. Irritable bowel, colitis and ulcers can all be relieved with mindful practices of restorative yoga.
Low Back (Jan 27th)
The low back is an area of the body that is often strained. A weak core usually contributes to this discomfort, but overuse of the same muscles when the body is out of alignment will also create pain.
Hips (Feb 3rd)
Whether you sit or stand for most of the day, the hips are highly affected. Healthy hips need to be stretched and strengthened regularly. The hips contain the largest joint in the body.
Basic Sequence (Feb 10th)
This is meant to give you an idea of an everyday practice.
All classes will be recorded. A link to the video will be sent to each person who registered. Recordings are great if you missed the class, or simply want to review it. All of the videos will be available until a week after the series ends, February 17th.
PDF included.

Yoga Nidra Series
March 3 to March 31 - 5-week series on Zoom
Mondays - 4pm to 5:15pm Central
Yoga Nidra translates to mean “yoga sleep”. This is a meditative practice that is very restorative and healing.
Experience the art of relaxation, a state of mind in between wakefulness and dreaming. The practice of Yoga Nidra works to progressively release muscular tightness, emotional stress, and tension.
Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that moves through the five layers of the body. Think of each layer as a sheath. We start with the physical body, the most dense sheath. Then we move inwards to the more subtle layers: the breath and energy, the mind and senses, the higher intellect, and unconditional bliss.
Each week we will talk a little about one of the five layers or sheaths to help you gain a better understanding of the yoga nidra process. We will also take time to create a sankalpa (a resolve or intention) and learn the power of it.
This class will begin with some gentle movement to prepare your body to be more comfortable in stillness. Modifications will be offered. Yoga Nidra is traditionally practiced while you are lying on the floor in savasana (you are welcome to sit in a chair if that is more comfortable for you).
Yoga Nidra is beneicial anytime of the day. Regardless of when it is practiced studies show that it helps improve quaility of sleep.
Some benefits of practicing Yoga Nidra at home:
* you can use your favorite blanket to cover up with
* no snoring yogis next to you
* you won't have to get yourself home once you are in a super relaxed state
* practice in whatever clothes you’d like to wear
All welcome!
All classes will be recorded. A link to the video will be sent to each person who registered. Recordings are great if you missed the class, or simply want to review it. All of the videos will be available until a week after the series ends, April 7th.
