Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxation, encouraging both deep physical release and calming of the central nervous system. It is particularly suitable for those under great stress or recovering from injury, illness or emotional loss. Students leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

Beginner Yoga provides a solid introduction to the classic yoga asanas (physical postures), breath work and relaxation. Students learn preparatory stretch routines, correct alignment, how to avoid common injuries and integrating movement with the breath. This series is suitable for students new to yoga, or those returning after a long absence.

Intermediate Yoga introduces the more advanced classical asanas, refines the practice and techniques of introductory asanas and challenges the student to a higher level of balance, strength and flexibility.

Prenatal Yoga helps keep the expectant mother toned and relaxed, encouraging her to "tune in" to her body and her breath.  Appropriate yoga poses help the student develop flexibility and strength and can provide relief for many of the discomforts normally associated with pregnancy.  Particular emphasis is on conditioning the pelvic floor and abdominals which are important for delivering the baby and for postpartum recovery.  The workshop is suitable for students at any stage whose pregnancy is progressing normally.  It is helpful if the student has some yoga experience but not essential.  Those with high risk pregnancies should call first to discuss their situation as a group class may not be appropriate for them.

Introduction to Meditation for Beginners     Meditation is an ancient practice that can be easily learned to help soothe the stresses of  modern life.    In this 4 class series we will explore foundational meditation techniques drawn from a variety of traditions, which will include working with the breath, using sounds and mantras, images and visualizations, mindfullness and "natural " meditations.  These techniques teach us how to quiet the mind and gently connect with inner awareness and create more spaciousness in our daily activities.     It brings us to a more centered and harmonious way of being.    Taught by Susan Wilson E-RYT, a highly skilled yoga and meditation instructor with over 25 years teaching experience.  To read Susan's bio visit www.yogainmontclair.com.

Yamuna® Foot Fitness    We expect our feet to carry us around throughout our whole lives.  How many of us ever think of taking care of our feet the way we exercise and take care of other parts of the body?  Start taking stress out of your feet with Yamuna's footwaker routines.  Designed to stimulate circulation and improve flexibility, learn how your foot was designed to walk and take the "walk test".    Once you lose the shock absorption quality in the feet, stress travels up the leg to the ankles, knees, hips and eventually the spine.
