Yoga Connection

Yoga for fun. Happy Friday.

RELAXATION is an inside job. "True relaxation - neurological relaxation - is a conscious and intentional activity... The more we pause, the more opportunity we have to grow relaxed and present... and the more we can choose to respond to the people and events in our lives from a place that's more calm, clear and open - rather than react from a place of stress or old habits" - Jillian Pransky. Please join us at THE YOGA CONNECTION on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings a...nd we will practice RELAXATION together.

VIRTUAL SUMMER YOGA AT THE YOGA CONNECTION YOGA TO DO BEFORE A WALK OR RUN with Karen Smereka This class uses a hardback chair, a strap and a tennis ball, a lime or lemon or a yoga tuneup ball.... If you have tender knees you will also need some padding for your knees if you don’t have a thick yoga mat. This class starts seated on a prop on the floor or on the chair. From there we move to a knee down lunges followed by standing postures such as goddess and warrior two. It ends on the floor with some twists and some legwork. The thinking behind this class is an intention to activate the back and side body so that walking and running can be more easeful. It can also be fun to do this yoga practice before a more physical yoga practice to see if you sense more ease in your body. See more

Good morning and Happy Friday.

VIRTUAL SUMMER YOGA AT THE YOGA CONNECTION MOVING INTO MEDITATION with Nancy. The physical focus of this practice is to invite the chest to open, to bring some ease to tight shoulders and hips and to prepare the body to sit more comfortably in meditation. As the body relaxes, there is also an energetic focus- the mind may quiet its busyness and become calm and the nervous system may settle as body, mind and spirit prepare to meditate. A guided meditation completes the pract...ice. https://www.yogaconnectionperth.org/videos Enjoy
