Hatha Yoga Slow Flow - Tuesdays, 9:30 - 11 am at Fine Spirit Studio
An all-levels class for people of all ages and experience levels.  This is a well rounded yoga class that begins with centering and attention to the breath.  The class then proceeds into gentle warm up stretches to loosen the joints and warm up the body before moving into a series of flowing postures including sun salutations and other chosen poses tailored to the level of those in the room.  Instruction of poses will be given as necessary.  Attention is given throughout to mindful breathing and careful alignment.  Classes may also incorporate some philosophical teachings and more subtle practices involving mudras or bandhas, for example.  All classes end with restorative poses and a blissful savasana/relaxation pose.    There is no need to sign up ahead of time for this class.  Simply drop in at the studio by showing up to class at least 10 minutes early to register.  Payment can be cash, check or credit card.  Drop in rates and class passes are available.  Please visit the Fine Spirit Studio website for more information.

Community Yoga - Vinyasa Flow - Sundays 8:30-9:30 at Mighty Yoga
Taught at a pace slower than other Mighty Yoga classes, these classes can be a great way to develop your vinyasa yoga practice as well as refine the fundamentals.  Variations and modifications for poses will be offered, making this class accessible to all levels.  Classes are $7.   Please see the Mighty Yoga website for more information.

Astrid’s classes are delightful! She teaches from a place of warmth and kindness, providing a challenging series of postures but in a kind-hearted and playful way that makes it easy to get into the flow. Astrid also models the postures and explains them really well, so that it is easy to follow along. Highly recommended! ” — Francis

Private or Private Group Instruction Also Available - If you don't have time to make it to a class or have special needs or interests, a private session can have immense benefits.   Bridal showers, baby showers, or other group events can also be very meaningful and loads of fun!  Contact Astrid for more information.

Please join me for a class or workshop, a yoga hike or a community yoga event to find your inspiration and use your own renewable energy for the benefit of yourself and others!
