SChappell@InsightandAwareness.com
Fees:
The fee for a 5 week 1 & 1/4 hour class is $45. Drop-ins are $10. It is requested that all fees be paid in
advance or on the first day of class. The fee for a 5 week 1 & 1/2 hour class at your site are $75 per
person with a minimum of 8 students.
Class Descriptions:
Hatha Yoga (Beginning & Continuing) is a system of relaxation, breathing, exercise, and meditation
designed to reduce stress, increase energy, and improve strength, flexibility, balance, alignment,
cardio-vascular endurance, and concentration. In this class you will learn and practice techniques that
will cleanse, detoxify, and purify the body, mind, emotions, and spirit for overall health and wellness.
Yoga can also help improve self-esteem, confidence, decision-making, insight into everyday problems,
and lead to self-discovery. This class will be an eclectic style of yoga and meditation based on sound
principles of traditional yoga practice. It is a mixed level yoga class suitable for all ages, abilities, and
experience. All levels welcome.
Hatha Yoga (Intermediate) is a continuation of the Hatha Yoga class for students who have prior
experience with yoga and are prepared for a more advanced and challenging practice. We will explore
and practice more advanced techniques and exercises such as inversion poses, arm balances,
transitional movements (vinyasa flow), and go deeper with alignment, breath control, and meditation.
Ashtanga/Power Yoga (Modified) is a Beginners Instructional class based on the Primary Series of
Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Beryl Bender Birch and David Swenson. Sometimes referred to in the USA
or West as Power Yoga, this traditional system of yoga is more physically challenging than a typical
hatha yoga class. This style of yoga is cleansing, purifying, and therapeutic with an emphasis on
strength, flexibility, balance, musculo-skeletal alignment, endurance, and concentration. Although we
will approach Ashtanga Yoga in a relaxed, fun, and approachable way, this class is for those students
who are reasonably fit with prior yoga experience.
Gentle Yoga is a program that offers a safe, therapeutic, and restorative approach for anyone seeking a
gradual, careful, and gentle approach to developing and/or maintaining a vibrant, healthy, and active
lifestyle. This class may include people who have been physically inactive or recovering and
rehabilitating from injury, illness, or surgery. Senior adults and beginners to yoga at any fitness level are
welcome. Exercises and instruction will be modified to meet everyone's needs. This class teaches
relaxation techniques, proper breathing and posture, gentle stretching, and meditation for
stress-management, recovery, pain management, health, healing, strength, flexibility, balance,
endurance, energy, peace of mind, and overall wellness.
Yoga for Seniors. A balanced workout using the classical relaxation, breathing, exercise, and
meditation techniques of Hatha Yoga to create strength, flexibility, balance, musculo-skeletal alignment,
endurance, mental and emotional clarity, stress-management, increased energy and vitality, and health
and well-being for senior adults.
Chair Yoga is an enjoyable and refreshing routine of fitness exercises for anyone whose condition
requires exercising in and/or with a chair. Anyone who can sit in a chair can benefit from this program
of gentle breathing, stretching, and relaxation. Benefits include improved breathing, posture, flexibility,
strength, balance, coordination, circulation, blood pressure, immunity to disease, energy,
stress-reduction, and peace of mind.
Benefits:
Yoga is a system of personal development, wellness, therapy, and healing that brings body, mind,
emotions, and spirit into harmony. The practice of yoga calms the mind; manages emotions; reduces
stress and tension; improves concentration, balance, strength, flexibility, musculo-skeletal alignment,
energy, and endurance; and connects the practitioner to their innate essence or spirit for self-discovery
and self-realization.
Equipment and Preparation:

meditation if desired. You may also bring water or any other props if you like to facilitate your practice.
