 CHAIR
YOGA
FOR THE OFFICE OR OTHER ADULT FACILITIES, SUCH AS
INDEPENDANT LIVING COMPLEXES.
This class is for desk and computer people, or others who are too
busy, stressed, or maybe just too insecure about their physical
abilities to go out and find a yoga class that might suit them.
They don't have to leave the workplace or living quarters, or even
change their clothes. I will come to them.
The class can last from ½ hour to a full hour and includes
stretches both seated in a chair and standing, using the chair for
balance and support. No yoga mats or other props are needed.
Focus is on relieving those areas where stress, tension, and
pain most often occur, the neck, shoulders, and back. We also
pay attention to arms and hands, learning ways to counteract
repetitive stress syndrome and arthritis.
 There
are many ways to include the hips, abdominals, legs, and feet as well.
In fact, the entire body is involved as we work on improving posture,
alignment, and flexibility, which allows the Internal organs to
regain strength and healthier functioning as well.
As with everything we do, Increasing range of motion and joint
mobility is approached with safety and ease in mind.
I teach simple, powerful techniques for relaxation and revitalization
of the body, mind, and spirit, including a system of facial rejuvenation.
Over time, these exercises, along with breath awareness and guided
meditations can lead from reducing and managing physical tension and
stress to becoming a path of personal growth and expansion. As
self awareness increases, so does trusting and honoring our bodies.
This in turn can guide us into living a more dynamic life - full of
new discoveries - with an ever increasing sense of well being and purpose.
CHAIR YOGA
FOR ELDERS AND THE CHRONICALLY ILL
 For
people with conditions ranging from mild to severe dementia, to
stroke recovery, to arthritis, Chair Yoga can be safely adapted for
an appropriate, enjoyable, and beneficial form of exercise. It can
help in recovery and maintenance, as well as gently push the limits
imposed by certain conditions.
Gentle seated stretches combined with breath are powerful ways to
alleviate aches and muscular tension as well as increase range of
movement of the joints. Resistance exercises can
strengthen major muscles (such as quadriceps and abdominals).
Standing poses can enhance balance and improve posture.
Inspirational readings and relaxation techniques can round out a rich
experience for these populations. They often appreciate feeling
that they are on the cutting edge of what they hear about and
television - something that "everybody" is doing to
improve their health and overall quality of life.
DANCEFLOW~YOGA (Where Yoga and Dance Meet)
This is a great class for a college or high school curriculum or a
health facility. It gives participants all the basic
benefits of classical hatha yoga, such as stretching, strengthening,
centering, balance, release from stress, and awareness of breath,
taught by an experienced, Yoga Alliance certified instructor and
life-long dancer.
 The
format is an exquisite demonstration of the natural connection and
reciprocal flow between yoga and dance. The instructor has been
a professional dancer and teacher for more than three decades, with a
masters degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from New York University.
In recent years she has developed a free-flowing, contemporary
approach to movement and exercise, using yoga as the foundation with
overtones of jazz, African, modern, ballet, and Pilates woven
throughout.
It is presented in an inspiring, anyone-can-do-it, creative style.
With exciting world beat music, these yoga meeting dance classes are
unsurpassed for overall fitness, fun, and celebration of life being
lived in the human form.
With no end in sight to the enormous popularity of yoga and the
current Zimba craze, the time is ideal for bringing this winning and
highly effective combination of modalities into your studio,
college, or gymnasium.
PHOENIX RISING YOGA THERAPY
for Individulas, Couples and Groups
For thousands of years yoga has offered a way to bring body, mind,
and spirit into harmony and balance. Phoenix Rising Yoga
Therapy adds elements of contemporary psychology congruent with yoga
psychology to create a powerful, safe, and effective path to wellness.
Its a path that goes beyond the mind - even beyond the body.
In a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session, you are guided to explore
the sensations that are present in your body and the issues that are
present in your life. This link is a reflection of the
body-mind connection. We believe that true healing takes place from
the inside out - and that healing goes hand in hand with self-awareness.
Through assisted yoga postures and guided breath work you are safely
brought to your edge of physical sensation - to the amount of stretch
that feels just right for you - not too much and not too little.
Here, with focused awareness and practitioner support you enter into
a dialogue of exploration of what you are noticing.
Its not about fixing or even analyzing anything. You simply
tune in and listen to your body's wisdom without judgment or the need
to change anything. Consequently you may release underlying
tensions, emotions, or beliefs that have manifested in chronic pain
or self-imposed limitations. And you may feel deeply relaxed,
peaceful, or energized as a result.
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy is delivered one on one, in a session
that is created just for you. Regardless of your yoga experience,
level of flexibility, or physical condition, PRYT offers a safe and
natural path of self discovery, growth, and on-going transformation
in body, mind and spirit. http://www.pryt.com/CelesteGraves-Hoyal/
