Welcome to Savin Hill Yoga


Savin Hill Yoga is coming into the new year with new teachers, new classes, new class times and a strong sense of optimism. For over four years now SHY has been building a community of yoga enthusiasts and neighbors looking for a simple health alternative. It has been wonderful watching people make and maintain connections in the studio. It is our central goal that this community should grow and prosper. We are expanding the studio in every way. We have new staff, new classes, new class times, Karma's Yoga Nidra workshop, travel programs to Puerto Rico and Italy and even massage. Join us on our journey through the next year. Make a regular yoga practice a part of your new year.
 
Be sure to visit our 2010 schedule page to see the new offerings.
 
This month we are welcoming Karen Yee as the newest member of our talented staff. Karen comes to us with a background in Yoga and Pilates. She will offer the new Saturday 4pm "Core Yoga" class beginning Jan. 2, 2010.  Make a commitment to visit her class to gain strength and flexibility in your inner core.

 

Yoga Nidra Workshop with Karma Longtin

Sunday  January 24, 2010  2pm-4pm
Make this your New Years Resolution!

Take the journey to deep relaxation with Yoga Nidra meditation........

 We begin with gentle yoga and breathwork to prepare the body for meditation. Then we'll get comfortable on the mat in a supported, restorative savasana as we begin our "Yogic Sleep". Guided meditation allows you to move through the layers of the physical, mental and emotional bodies.  We move past conscious awareness and dive into the more receptive subconscious mind. In this peaceful state, the subconscious often offers us guidance, solutions, or helps us make decisions on issues we may not be able to face in the conscious state. 

Offering the chance for internal exploration and profound personal transformation, Yoga Nidra is a perfect practice to reinforce any new year's resolutions!  And practicing Yoga Nidra brings such a deep state of total relaxation that it is often said to be equivalent to 3 hours of REM sleep.  Bring your favorite pillow, blankey and eye pillow and join us for the Sleep of the Yogis.

This Workshop is available for $20 for members and 10 class card holders; $25 for walk-in students. Preregistration is recommended.

Join us and practice yoga in the ancient way, facing the rising Sun.
