This is a basic yoga class where we breathe, bend and balance with an extra shot of BLISS in final relaxation.

Practice yoga in the chair. This class is appropriate for beginners, folks with limited mobility and those recovering from injury.

Join Cosmic Sound Healer, Buffy La Roux as she facilitates a high vibratory journey of Sound through time and space. During this deeply meditative and transformative experience, Buffy guides us inward through a sound bath of deeply shifting vocal toning, singing, frequencies and quartz crystal singing bowls. Each Crystal Sound Bath is a unique symphony and a dance of the collective energies present for the Well Being of All and the Amplification of Love.

Recommended for yogis with some experience. These classes are vigorous, generate heat from within, build core strength and may explore advanced postures, and  inversions. Come prepared to move!

We will use mala beads (necklace) to guide us as we repeat a mantra. This practice is called Japa Meditation. Through the repetition of a manta, we create positive habit patterns which help us to gradually overcome spiritual darkness. Japa is a powerful technique for focusing the mind and harnessing the body/mind’s subtle energies in pursuing the yogic path of self-transformation. Class begins with a brief explanation of Japa Meditation, including its origins, purpose and instruction on how to use a mala. We will practice some gentle breathing exercises known as Pranayama to calm the mind. Then the class will chant several selected mantras as a group, with time for reflection and discussion after each one. Feel free to sit in a chair or on the floor. If you already enjoy a meditation practice, use of the Japa technique may enhance your capacity for focus and concentration, while at the same time deepening your connection with Divine energy.  If you are new to meditation, this is a perfect place to start!  You can bring your own mala or borrow one of mine. All are welcome.
