We are an evolving Spiritual Community, recognizing and celebrating the unique way that Spirit expresses through each one of us. The best introduction is your own first-hand experience.

YOGA CLASSES

MONDAYS w/ MICHELE LAWRENCE – 5:30 PM to 6:45 PM
$11.00 drop in

Monday class at Pathways lives on! Michele Lawrence will be teaching this class. If you have any further questions, Michele's email is:

Michele Lawrence has been practicing yoga since 2000 and has studied various yoga styles. She believes that all yoga can teach you something, if you allow yourself to be open to it. Yoga is self-exploration and postures can be a metaphor for challenging life situations. By practicing and breathing, the poses can shed light and offer insight on those situations. Michele is a graduate of the New Jersey-based Devalila Yoga Teacher Training, a registered 200-hour level training with the Yoga Alliance. Devalila (meaning "Divine Play") blends the physical and spiritual, and does so playfully. In February 2009, Michele will complete her 300-hour certification in Yoga Therapy from Ananada Seva in California. Yoga therapy adapts the practice of Yoga to the needs of people with specific or persistent health problems not usually addressed in a group class. Contact Michele to find out more about individual Yoga Therapy sessions.

* During times of bad weather be sure to call to confirm that yoga classes are not cancelled.


THURSDAY KUNDALINI YOGA W/ RICARDO MORENO – 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM $11:00 drop in

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga is a science which works on the seven chakras, the arcline and the aura (the Eighth Chakra). It works directly on the total energy, and that flow of energy has one simple way: either you sway it or it sways you. Either you are above the energy and ride it, or you go below the energy and it rides you. That is where Kundalini Yoga fits in: you will learn to ride your energy, to experience it and penetrate any given situation to attain a balance.

What is kundalini actually? It is your creative potential. You experience it when the energy of the glandular system combines with the energy of the nervous system to create a sensitivity that the totality of the brain receives signals and integrates them. Them you become totally and wholly aware, and your creative potential becomes available to you.

The power of Kundalini Yoga lies in the actual experience. It goes right into your heart and extends your consciousness so you may have a wider horizon of grace and of knowing the truth. Ultimately, you come to understand your existence in relationship to the universe and understand you already are, and this brings to you the practical experience of Infinity. You can then radiate creativity and Infinity in all aspects of your daily life. - Yogi Bhajan

The Kundalini Yoga Class

A Kundalini yoga class is generally structured with a beginning chant to tune in, then a kriya (a set of breathing and moving exercises designed to open/cleanse/integrate primary systems within the body, i.e. cleansing the kidneys,
stimulating one or more glands, bringing energy to the spine, stimulating digestion, etc.), a deep relaxation, meditation (6 to 31 minutes, which includes breath, visualization, and mudras), and a final closing chant.

In general, much of the class is done with your eyes closed. Because the Kriyas, and some instances the Meditations, have been perfected centuries ago, they are set and are not modified when taught. My own personal experience has been that these yoga sets appropriately challenge both advanced as well as beginning yoga students. The yoga set will meet you with whatever ability you come to the class.

Kundalini Yoga is self-initiating. I as a Kundalini Yoga teacher will primarily hold the space in the class to support you in opening to your own experience. As a Kundalini Yoga teacher I will suggest ways to help with body alignment, breath quality, rhythm of movement, etc., to support you with connecting with on a personal, individual level. Your level of sincerity and intention for self-healing is the major factor in the quality of the experience you will receive in this class.

Blessings, Light and Joy
