Fall Yoga Classes 2024
MONDAY
Yoga for Your Back
10:45am – noon | September 16 – December 9
There will be no classes on the statutory holidays of September 30, October 14, and November 11.
Are you in the 80% of the adult population in North America that has experienced back pain? Does it come and go, interfering with daily life? For years, my back bothered me, sometimes after exertion, sometimes randomly. After I started a regular Yoga practice, the back pain went away, never to return. Yoga shines at back care.
This class will take place in a lovely community building in South Courtenay. It’s a scent-free place, so please skip this class if you use strong detergents like Tide or Gain, or if you use scented dryer sheets. Thank you.
10 classes: $160.00

For those who cannot get up and down from the floor easily. There’s still a lot of Yoga that can be done in a chair.

FRIDAY
Yin / Restorative Yoga (FULL)
10:00 – 11:30 a.m. | September 13 – December 20
Both of these styles of Yoga are quiet, floor-based practices. Both provide deep benefits to your body and require a willingness to pause and breathe – in stillness. Yin Yoga stimulates harder tissues in the body, and can sometimes create strong sensations for you to navigate; Restorative Yoga is just deeply relaxing. In this series, we will alternate between them: one week will be Yin, the next week will be Restorative – the best of both worlds.
Prerequisite: At least one year of Yoga Experience.
Location: Native Sons Hall, Lower Level
