Véronique
This class is for everyone so options are offered in all poses and flows in order to accommodate students at every level. Come and join this class that is very popular and has been taught by Véronique for many years.
Yin Yoga focuses on longer holds of the postures in order to access and release the deeper layers of the body. The holds last between 2 and 5 minutes which allows a steady and peaceful focus on the joints. This class is slow and meditative, having a deeply calming effect.
Flow classes weave and sequence all kind of postures in either a very slow pace to stay present with each move in and out of the Asanas (poses), or, at a very dynamic pace to keep you moving. Regardless of pace, Vinyasa style links the breath to the movements. Level 1 is slightly more introductory than level 2, but both are intermediate.

Gina
Wild Honey Yoga offers devotion to a steady practice of essentials in support of strength, flexibility and health.
Let it be a loving practice devoted to the art of attention; a skill that opens us to deep, honest relationship with self, others and the mysterious, creative unfolding called life. Tuesday morning: Time is spent greeting the body with gratitude and gently exploring poses and breath and wonder. Wednesday evening: Let us find support in releasing the tension of the day with brighter movement unwinding us towards rest. All are welcome! I hope to share yoga and the calm-quiet of the heart with you soon |

Chiezan
This class has moved online for COVID-19 - See the Facebook Group "Kalamazoo Zen" for details on Sokuzan's Monthly Monday Evening dharma talks and the Sokukoji web site for information on the larger Zen community.
This class will give participants an opportunity to learn and practice the traditional Zen sitting meditation called Shikantaza. Shikantaza encourages an upright posture either sitting on a cushion or in a chair. Practitioners will learn to begin prioritizing their awareness and looking more deeply into this complex body/mind we have been born into. After meditation there is an optional dharma study/group discussion of some Zen literature for an hour. All are welcome -- teachings are freely given but your donations are greatly appreciated to help support the space and Sanctuary Yoga. |
