Yoga Therapy for New Moms - Zenana - Wednesday Mornings - 10-11am (RESUMING FEB 09) - Childcare available with advance notice at (503) 238-6262.  Baby-wearing welcome!!

This gentle, restorative class gives new mothers a chance to find healing through movement, breath and personal discovery.  Focused on the transitions going on in the body, mind and spirit, this class is appropriate for anyone who strives to bring greater balance her life.  Physical asana poses are crafted to suit the needs of post-partum mothers: building core strength, easing sore muscles and preparing the body for relaxation.

As best said by Joseph Le Page, “Yoga Therapy is that facet of the ancient science of Yoga that focuses on health and wellness at all levels of the person: physical, psychological and spiritual.  Yoga therapy focuses on the path of Yoga as a healing journey that brings balance to the body and mind through an experiential understanding of the primary intention of Yoga: awakening of Spirit, our essential nature.”

Class cost: $12 drop-in, $50 for 5 classes & $85 for 10 classes.  Contact E.B. with any questions: 503-333-5484.

Hatha/Raja Yoga - Belmont - Wednesday evnings 7-8:30pm (RESUMING FEBRUARY 09)

Through Hatha Yoga, we focus our bodies and breath.  Through Raja Yoga, we focus our minds.  This class gives us the opportunity for both – combining traditional asana (or postures) with pranayama (breath exercise) and philosophical concepts.  While we practice this combination of disciplines on the mat, we learn to take the ancient wisdoms of Yoga into our daily lives.  Appropriate for all levels and physical abilities.  For pricing schedule, please see Belmont Yoga.
