Join instructor Joanie Cartal (RYT) in a course that explores the depth of practice that occurs from blending Yin and Vinyasa Flow styles. The Yin practice will accentuate the vitality and range of motion of deep connective tissues and joints, while the Vinyasa practice will warm and detoxify the outer tissues. Meditation and breath work will also be used in creating a fully balanced experience that promotes well-being.

In her place will be two familiar faces:
Christie Marshall will take over her Tuesday Power class at 6pm beginning August 3rd, and Tom Lee will take over her Sunday Power class at 9:30am beginning August 8th (we will have a sub for the class on August 1st).  Both Christie and Tom are talented instructors who teach in a very similar style to Laura, so we are confident that the change will be seamless!

With Tom taking Laura’s morning class on Sundays, there will be a class style change in the 4pm Sunday time slot — Amy Gilliland will begin teaching Yin at 4pm on Sundays beginning August 8th (Kate Clemens will sub in the Vinyasa style on August 1st).

Last but not least, you’ll notice that  Mary’s classes will be listed as Power classes rather than Ashtanga flow.  Rest assured that this is merely a title change and in no way changes the style of her class.  This change will clarify our schedule and bring more continuity to the class names.

 We look forward to your continued feedback on our classes/schedule and look forward to seeing you at PGSF — both on and off the mat!

2) Starting July 28th, Annie will be teaching at 6pm on Wednesdays. She will offer a power yoga class that comes with years of experience and skill. Now you can join her twice a week on Monday and Wednesday evenings! Please check out our Belmont instructor page on this website to learn more about Annie.

Kalari is designed for creating grounding, steadfastness, and focus, while cultivating an authentic flow that provides an expansion of sensory awareness. In our Kalari practice will begin with movementbased
warm-ups and conditioning exercises which are repeated for maximum effect. Then we’ll move on to the set sequences of flowing movement, called forms, with the energies of Shiva [energy generating]
and Shakti [energy focusing].

While Kalari is a dynamic, physically moving practice, the beauty of Kalari is that persons of any physical condition can participate [some prior yoga practice is recommended, although not required].
