Kundalini Yoga Introduction Series
"The kundalini experience does not mean you have gone into a deep breathless trance and are beyond this world. … It integrates you more fully with reality and gives you a broader vision and sensitivity so that you can act more efficiently."
~ Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic system combining breathing, movement, stretching meditation, the use of sound and rhythm, relaxation and meditation. Each class usually entails spine and flexibility warm-ups, a specific sequence for the energy or day at hand, and a relaxation and meditation. There are many exercise sets and meditations in this system. A typical class includes 6 major components: 1) tuning-in with the Adi Mantra, 2) pranayam or warm-up, 3) kriya, 4) relaxation, 5) meditation and 6) close with the blessing song, “May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You”.
A 6-week Introduction Series to Kundalini Yoga will be offered at the studio on Thursday mornings beginning Nov. 11th and running until Dec. 16th. Class time is 9:15 am to 10:45 am. Cost: $93.00 (tax included). The classes will be facilitated by Certified & Registered Kundalini Yoga Teacher (3H0), Paola diPaolo E-RYT500 in the tradition of Yogi Bhajan.

Schedule Corrections
Happy October! What a great workshop today with Caroline Owen. Caroline always brings her unique approach to ashtanga based movements allowing them to be accessible to all variations of abilities and bodies. Thank you Caroline for sharing your knowledge with us in Lindsay.
There are 2 schedule changes that have been adjusted on our website page but not on the printed brochure. Please note that there will be no Nia class on Wed. Oct. 13th as Pam will be away at a training. The class will be added to the end of the session and run on November 3rd. Second change, the 12 week session for Saturday General Yoga ends on Dec. 18th rather than the 11th. Sorry for the oversight on the schedule.
Wishing you a wonderful fall Sunday.
Blessings,
Sharon
