Some have begun to explore or deepen their spirituality because of their disease. Most people come hoping to reconnect with their bodies. Our classes begin in a quiet atmosphere, with soft music and candles, and students reclining on mats. A story or poem is read, or we do a meditation or a guided visualization, using imagination to travel through a fictional experience. Then we begin the movements.
Students work within their individual comfort range and physical limitations.
In a special situation, one might do very little movement, even just doing the class mentally. We give people a safe space in which to listen to their bodies. At the end, some talk about what's going on in our lives and how we respond to the class Spiritual Benefits Yoga and meditation are not religions. People with a wide variety of spiritualities do these practices. They can be valuable no matter where you are coming from.
