Students can sign up for all four sessions or choose from four dates. The cost for MAC Members is $20 per session or $70 for all 4 weeks; the cost for nonmembers $25 per session or $85 for all 4 weeks. Learn more and register online at marionartcenter.org/events. Space is limited to 10 students, and early registration is recommended.
About the class: Appreciate and treasure the practice of yoga. This is a slow-moving practice with the goal of reducing tension in the body to relax the mind. In each class, we will explore a handful of common postures in depth. Once learned we will move them together in a honey flow. Elke uses clear language to help students find safe alignment and to notice how this affects the busy mind. Finish with a few restorative postures, guided meditation, and deep relaxation. This experience will be calming, mindful and complete. This class is good for beginners and great for seasoned students who want to relearn, go deeper, and practice with attention to detail. This is not a vinyasa class; expect longer holds and hands-on assists (optional). Because this class is small each student will receive individual attention. Reiki Energy Healing in savanna if you wish. Please bring a mat and a blanket.
