Journey Into the Magical World of Chakras

Picture
The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting at the base of the spine moving up to the crown of the head.
Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it's very benefical to understand what each one represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.

Join Kerri Garr, local yoga teacher, massage therapist and hypnotherapist for this unique seven week experience in which you will meet once per week beginning on Sunday, April 2 at 4:00 PM. Each class will last approximately 75-90 minutes, spending one week on each chakra. We will be using the book "The Sevenfold Journey" by Anodea Judith and Selene Vega for our weekly journey!

Yoga for Cross-training

What is cross-training? In reference to running, cycling and kayaking, cross-training is when you train by doing another kind of fitness workout such as  yoga, swimming, a fitness class or strength training, to supplement your activity of choice. It builds strength and flexibility in muscles that don't get utilized. For improving muscle strength and flexibility, yoga, can target specific areas of the body that need work. So what are you doing to keep engaged and keep your body and mind in the sport? 

Yoga is an ancient Hindu art that aims to bring into balance the mind, body and spirit. The practice focuses on harmonizing the breath, bringing the mind to the present moment and moving the body. A consistent yoga practice will allow the body and and mind to be strong, flexible and stable, which are all critical when navigating the trails or river, as well as life. 

Cost $25 per class 
Cross-Training Schedule: 
Running-Sat. June 3rd 10:00 AM 
Cycling-Sat. June 17th 10:00 AM 
Kayaking-Sat. June 24th 10:00 AM

Monthly Extras

Candlelight Yoga

    Often we set our intentions or resolutions at the first of the year but rarely come back to them past January. My intention of offering this monthly class is to keep giving folks the opportunity to come back to their New Year intention at the beginning of each month. Whether you were able to make the first class or not, you are welcome each month to join us. By taking time to tune into our intentions we begin to show gratitude for our progress and motivation for our journey through the upcoming year.

Yoga for Special Needs

    Yogaterrium is teaming up with The New Normal (a local special needs group) to offer a yoga class just for those in our community with autism, disabilities and other special needs. This will be a shorter yoga class (30 minutes) and will go over basic yoga poses, breathing and relaxation.

    Instructor Terri Hargrove has been teaching private lessons to a teen boy with autism for more than 3 years. Terri has personally seen the benefits and improvements their weekly lessons have had and wishes to make yoga more accessible for the rest of the special needs community. This class is open to ages 6 years and older. Parents and/or care takers are encouraged to attend the yoga class too. The studio provides plenty of yoga mats and props at no additional charge.

Cost: $5 per person
