Yoga as Spiritual Practice

Heidi & Jim Noh-Kuhn Series of 6 Mondays: Sept. 13, 20, 27, Oct. 4, 11, 18 from 9 am to 10:30. Cost: $90

This 90-minute yoga class focuses on creating a spiritual practice by combining yoga philosophy, physical postures and meditation, to deepen our relationship with the Divine.

Philosophy (20 minutes) - Each week will focus on various topics of yoga philosophy, including: Chakras (energy centers), pranayama (breathing techniques), affirmations, Divine Will healing, etc. We will use these discussions as a focal point for our practice, integrating the teachings of yoga into our experience of the postures - deepening our understanding of yoga as a pathway to inner communion with the Divine.

Asana's (45 minutes) - Gentle Yoga postures will be utilized to awaken energy flow while relieving excess tension and stress. Ananda Yoga is a gentle, yet dynamic style of yoga suitable for all levels of physical ability. By focusing on our breath and moving our body mindfully, we enhance our experience of harmony and unity, which is the essence of yoga practice.

Deep Relaxation (10 minutes) - A vital of aspect of Hatha (physical) yoga is the time we spend at the end of our practice in deep relaxation, integrating the healing effects of the asana's. The physical rejuvenation of deep relaxation is equal to sleep, yet much more powerful because we are able to create this experience while we are awake - strengthening our ability to consciously invite our body and mind to relax at any time throughout the day.
Chanting & Meditation (15 minutes) - With a relaxed body and calm mind, we are able to dive deeply into the inward practice of meditation. The beautiful and ancient art of chanting utilizes the healing vibration of sound to awaken and open the heart, creating a doorway for guidance and inspiration from the Divine.

Join Heidi and Jim Noh-Kuhn, certified Ananda Yoga and Meditation teachers, for an exploration of yoga as spiritual practice. Together, they offer over 20 years of experience in helping others listen for the voice of Divine wisdom within.
