How do I join a class?

Classes are ongoing, but released in 7 week sessions.  First and cheapest option is to register for a class before session starts, or in first week, by emailing cindyperrotyoga@gmail.com.  That gets you in for 7 weeks, and you do not have to worry about booking classes further--just come to your class every week! If you have missed the window for registration or cannot commit to 7 weeks, you can book into classes here on the website---take one or more of the "available spots" left after registration. The booking calendar above allows access to all classes (use it, but double check your booking date!), while other "Classes" links show only the next 4 classes.  Payment is taken via etransfer or at studio--drop-in for one class, or purchase a 5-class pass at the studio.  These available spots can also be used to book make-up classes: you have fully registered for a class, but miss one or two and want to make it up.  Grab an available spot, note "make-up class" in the message!  Don't want to miss another opportunity to register, to be in-the-know?  Email cindyperrotyoga@gmail.com to get added to the email list that gets first opportunity at all new events and classes.
Breath Awareness
 

Breath Awareness

Central to yoga practice is the cultivation of conscious breathing. Pranayama, or breath control, is a key element that connects the body and mind. Focusing on the breath not only enhances oxygenation of the body but also promotes mental clarity and presence. Learning various breathing techniques allows practitioners to harness the power of breath to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and deepen their yoga experience.
Mindful Movement

Mindful Movement

 
The practice of physical postures, or asanas, is a fundamental element of yoga. Each pose is an opportunity to explore the body's range of motion, build strength, and improve flexibility. Mindful movement involves paying attention to the sensations, alignment, and breath while transitioning between poses. Through asana practice, practitioners not only enhance their physical well-being but also cultivate a heightened awareness of the mind-body connection.
Meditation and Mindfulness

Meditation and Mindfulness

 
Yoga extends beyond the physical postures to include meditation and mindfulness practices. These elements foster a deep sense of inner stillness and mental clarity. Meditation allows practitioners to observe thoughts without attachment, promoting a calm and focused mind. Mindfulness, both on and off the mat, encourages present-moment awareness, helping individuals carry the benefits of their practice into daily life.
Cultivation of Inner Awareness

Cultivation of Inner Awareness

 
Self-study, or Svadhyaya, is a vital element in yoga practice. It involves introspection, self-reflection, and the exploration of one's inner landscape. Through practices such as journaling, contemplation, and self-inquiry, practitioners gain insights into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Svadhyaya encourages personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of the connection between the self and the world, facilitating a transformative journey on and off the yoga mat.
