Yoga/Meditation Classes
Sessions are appropriate for beginner and intermediate students and use mixed style Hatha Yoga. Classes begin with breathing and “focusing” techniques as a window to experience the Divine. Students are encouraged to continue these throughout the practice and meditation as they integrate flexibility and stretching. The most active portion of the practice includes The Sun Salutation series, the Asanas (postures) being joined by Vinyasa (flow). But, BEGINNERS also fully participate by modifying postures throughout the sessions. Each class concludes with meditation (Savasana) that empowers you to use heart-centered messages to create a better life. My wise teacher Rene’ Graney says, “Yoga gives us an opportunity to hear the wisdom of our body, find the stillness of our mind, and create a happier way of being.” Drop-in for a free session and experience this unique practice for yourself to decide if it is for you. Tricia’s life is blessed by her meditation practice practice with yoga and and by those who join her daily.

Level 2 Intermediate students. A basic understanding of postures, breath techniques and sun salutations recommended.
