We hope everyone had a great holiday season and a good start to the new year!
A couple special events coming up at LYC:
Full Moon Yoga with Natalie Friday January 10th, 2020 7pm-8:30pm $20 The full moon is a great opportunity to cast away all that is not serving you in order to start anew with a “clean slate.” By candle (and moon) light, we will do a simple but powerful full moon ritual, a moon salutation asana (movement) sequence, and seal our practice with a hot stone Savasana.
Crystal Bowl Sound Journey with Nina & Michael Vecchi Friday January 17th, 2020 6:30pm $20 Combine the healing release and cleansing of crystal singing bowls along with guided imagery to relax and renew your energies.

This mid-day class is focused on getting you energized and centering the mind for a productive day.
Yin Yoga with Jenn L – Thursdays at 6:30pm Opposite of yang type yoga( hatha, Iyengar, power) Yin yoga is a slow paced yoga practice in which postures are held anywhere from 2-5 minutes each. Props such as blocks, bolsters and blankets are used to help access certain postures and for extra support. This type of yoga has a deeper meditative approach and its a great way to to connect with the present moment. Some of the great benefits of this practice are: lower levels of anxiety, lower blood pressure, deep tissue release, increased flexibility and calming of the mind. Yin yoga is a wonderful tool to just slow down, observe and appreciate the now. Equanimity Yoga with Wendy – FREE Community Class, Fridays at 5pm for 10 weeks starting March 1st Equanimity is the ability to maintain a sense of calm and composure amidst life’s challenges. It requires strength, balance, and flexibility. Our practice on the yoga mat helps us to cultivate these qualities in body and mind. Using the breath, we will connect mind to muscle in poses that develop strength and balance. We will also explore poses that create space and flexibility through the release of thoughts and beliefs which no longer serve us. Wendy is currently enrolled in teacher training at Frog Pond Yoga.
