Yoga for Life Benefit Class

Donation
Yoga for Life is an easy-going all-levels class. We will engage in a mindful exploration of breathing and moving that will not only benefit our bodies, minds, and spirits, but will also benefit the members of our community through our donations. You are enthusiastically invited to give items or cash donations that will help stock the food pantry at Catholic Charities in Mansfield. No pre-registration is needed, and you need not participate in class in order to donate!

Family Yoga is a class dedicated to the child’s yoga journey. Parents, grandparents, caregivers and their children share the joys of mindful breathing and moving. Each class will explore a different imaginative landscape. Come breathe, laugh, and play! (Ages two and up, though baby siblings are welcome to hangout in mom or dad’s arms and enjoy the vibe.)

Ashtanga-Based Power Yoga
Mondays, 5:15-6:45pm, No Limits Studio
Session 1: June 8, 15, 22, 29; $40 ($15 drop-in fee)
Session 2: August 3, 10, 17; $30 ($15 drop-in fee)
Ashtanga-Based Power Yoga is grounded in the traditional Ashtanga tradition. This is a focused, 90-minute, all-levels class designed to build strength and flexibility through vigorous movement and the use of the ujjayi (victorious) breath. We will spend time working on individual poses, as well as cultivating the “flow,” linking movement to movement through the breath, which is one of the joys of vinyasa (moving and breathing at the same time on purpose). We will learn modifications that support us where we are weak and ones that challenge us where we are strong. This class is open to beginners, however, it is not recommended for those recovering from illness or injury. Please be prepared to work hard, as many of the sequences are physically demanding.
{Pre-registration is encouraged. Contact amysecrist6@gmail.com}
Yoga on the Lawn
Saturdays, 9:30-10:30am, Mansfield Art Center (on the lawn)
No set fee. (Donations appreciated.)
Session 1: June 6, 13, 20, 27
Session 2: August 1, 8, 15, 22
Yoga on the Lawn is a gentle, all-levels class in which we will cultivate mindfulness through movement and breath work. We will practice postures and mindful breathing to create space within the body for healing and to bring about an overall sense of well-being.
Dew-soaked grass and sunny skies can make for an invigorating yoga practice, and surrounding trees can provide ample shade. Please bring a mat, blanket, towel, or even sunglasses as you see fit. As this class is held outdoors, inclement weather is a concern. Please register so that you will be notified if class is cancelled.
