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.

Gentle Yoga Class with Robin

Mondays at 1pm - Starting second week in September

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!

Yin Yoga for Longevity with Deanna - 6 week Series

Wednesdays starting September 10th - 10am

Join Deanna for a six week series of yin yoga. Studies show we lose our range of motion as we age, unless we are caring for our connective tissue/fascia on a regular basis. Through gentle, long held postures, yin yoga stimulates the connective tissue resulting in more hydrated and healthy fascia. Through compression of tissues/muscles, the meditative postures of yin yoga also help the body remove metabolic waste, assisting in reducing pain and tension. In this series, we will also investigate the energetic pathways in the body as they benefit our major organs such as the liver and kidneys.

Yin yoga is accessible for all ability levels, Options will be given for modifications as needed. No prior experience necessary. Each session will be recorded in case you need to miss a class.

Benefits of Yin Yoga:

Physical Benefits: Increased flexibility and joint mobility, fascia rejuvenation, improved circulation, reduced muscle tension

Mental and Emotional Benefits: stress and anxiety reduction, mindfulness and body awareness, improved sleep, lower cortisol, calmness and inner peace

$110 Early Bird rate - register by September 3

$120 per person- Must Pre-register

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
