Announcements and important information

!!!!!PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!

Attention FitOn users

I was informed that some insurance companies are switching back to Silver Sneakers starting August 1st.

Unfortunately it is not feasible at this time for LRY to join them. There are financial obligations that are not a fit for a small studio like us.

I'm so happy that some of you found a place here and enjoyed it - and I hope that you can continue. We do have senior discounts $12 for a single class or 10 classes for $100.

I did research joining Silver Sneakers and they are quite small minded about who they accept. I have also heard from others that the selection is not really what it could be and mostly gyms.

I would strongly urge you to state your case to your insurance provider and maybe if they get enough complaints, they'll open it up to both.

Please reach out if you have questions or if I can help you return to the studio.

All level Yin Yoga Class with Kimberly Fox (new teacher)

Sundays at 6pm

Yin Yoga is a gentle yoga where postures are held for a longer time (3-5min) to allow the deeper connective tissue to release ... it is a slow and meditative practice. This is a class accessible to most of us for stretching, breathing deeper and offering ourselves relaxation. It is a calming, uncomplicated class allowing the body to unfold gently which leads to meditation.

All level Classic Yoga Class with Robin

Fridays at Noon

This all levels class will focus on coordination of breath and movement leading into classic Yoga postures. With an emphasis on body awareness and alignment, modifications will be offered so participants can work at their own level. The class will end with a deep relaxation and short meditation.

Gentle Yoga Class with Robin

Wednesdays at 1145am & Thursdays at 10am

This class is accessible to most of us for stretching, breathing deeper and offering ourselves relaxation. More time is spent in the slow warming of the body. A conscious focus on ease and alignment allows you to enjoy the fullness of the experience. A longer cool down brings us mindfully back to the mat and helps us find that place of calm held deep inside. Sometimes a Gentle Class can be just the thing needed for your day!

Nerve Care - Somatic Yoga Workshop with Deanna

One Day Only - 90 minutes

Wednesday November 19th - 10am

Oftentimes nagging pain can be related to nerve entrapment - nerves are meant to glide in our fascia like a snake in water. However due to posture, sitting for long periods of time, stress, and other lifestyle factors, our fascia can be disorganized in a way that impedes the glide of the nerves. Our nerves are coated in a myelin sheath, which can be damaged through cortisol levels, stress, medications, autoimmune conditions, etc. Somatic yoga can help repair the myelin sheath which can result in lower pain levels, better communication between the brain and body, and improved nerve gliding.

This workshop will address nerve gliding in areas of the body including the arms/neck/shoulders, legs/feet/lower back and more. Through somatic movement, neural flossing, myofascial work, meditative awareness, breathwork, and restorative postures, we will work toward better nerve gliding. This workshop also helps the general health of nerves, even if you are not experiencing pain.

Suitable for all ability levels, beginners welcome.

Why do I want to learn how to breathe my body when my body breathes itself?”

Great question! And, yes. Breathing is automatic. So automatic in fact, that when we are physically or emotionally stressed, our breath changes. It gets shorter and more frequent. The message carried on this breath pattern is delivered to the brain, which responds with the hormones of stress in the likes of cortisol and adrenaline. Good stuff when needed for the energy of survival, or grief, or positive stress like a new job. Life can be and often is ... stressful. However, when the short breath pattern becomes habitual and chronic stress is the baseline experience in the body and mind, we suffer. It can show up as high blood pressure, or weight gain, or bronchitis or even the inability to fight off a simple cold.

This Breath Workshop teaches the techniques of yoga breathing, also known as pranayama. It is designed to regulate and balance the body, mind and spirit as it delivers the counter hormone for that felt sense of calm, peace and full executive function of the brain.

You are invited to use your own breath to regulate your nervous system. We begin by turning inward, followed by a slow Sun Salutation with the intention to release physical stress and curate sustainable self-awareness. Then, in a comfortably seated position you will learn, through understandable explanations, the benefits of a breath practice, ending with the practice itself. In total you will learn three different pranayama techniques: one for balance, on for energy and one for down regulation.

Scientific research confirms the positive influence of breath control or breathing the body. Sign up today to truly understand your breath as the first line of resource!

Fee: $75pp for all three sessions - Must Pre-register
