Kevin Kortan’s Classes 2024

Meditative Yoga, Mondays 11a–12p. Experience beautiful breath-centered movements that promote flexibility, strength, and balance. These create a meditative atmosphere which leads into relaxation, seated breathing, and simple meditation, sometimes including mantra. Open to all!

Mantra Chanting, Mondays 12:15–12:45p. Enjoy the uplifting practice of chanting simple mantra. We’ll gather together after the yoga class (or come for this class only) and learn the mantras through the time-honored approach of listen and repeat, along with written chant sheets. Most of the mantras will be in Sanskrit, some in English. The sounds lead us into the inner silence of meditation. All are welcome; no experience needed.

Pam Keul’s Class 2024

Everything is in Perfect Order, Tuesdays 5:30–6:45p.  This is a Viniyoga class for stability, strength of body and mind, serenity, and ease. Viniyoga prioritizes safety and comfort by focusing on the breath and adapting to the needs of the individual. In light of your own history and current circumstances, in this class you’ll breathe and move to build your sense of security, well-being, and trust in yourself as a steady presence and force for good in the world. You’ll start where you are now, doing what works for you; maybe sometimes simply observing. Welcome!
