Deep Stretch Yoga BEGINNER + *FIR

May 17, 2018 @ 6:10 pm - 7:20 pm

2020Deep Stretch  Yoga is a  brain child of Tom’s which
combines the best of all his yoga practices through the
18 years.

Deep Stretch  Yoga is a safe way to practice some of the traditional and
some of the modern moves of yoga. with out the rapidity to ensure
no difficulties or harm. No need to compare, impress or be distracted.

Tom, offers a soothing yet at times rigorous
class but still beginners will be give modifications.
His watchful eye will supply props and assists, which ever is required.

Deep Stretch Yoga will take you through Vinyasa, Sun Salutes, and steady poses
all from the  traditional yoga but in a gentle and deep stretch pattern.
The series of movements are taken from Traditional Hatha, Ashtanga
and even a bit of Bikram tossed in also. So in this way  the class is nomadic
or wandering.

The class is a safe way to practice some of the Ashtanga
moves with out the rapidity to ensure no difficulties or harm. Tom, the
instructor helps you move slowly and methodically from asana to asana.
His watchful eye will supply props and assists, which ever is required.

Although deep stretch  yoga is helpful for the ‘somewhat’ new yogi, it is also beneficial
for the student of intermediate level ability. All can begin to enter or fully enter
a pose such as Marichiasana, because of the support of props if needed. Marichiasana
can also be a great pose for an advanced student who may need
the gentle energy of a finger strategically placed on the spine to get the
forehead to the knee or to bind.

Deep Stretch   Yoga also incorporates Pranayama not just at the beginning
of the class but also throughout, as Tom reminds the student to move deeper
on the exhaled breath.

The instructor may open or close the class with a reading or statement on
the Yama or NiYama. He may talk about using chakra energy to help you
keep your body aligned. Imagine seeing it and then allow it to occur.

Tom’s style is gentle and kind. You will feel well cared for in his class.
He may offer you a blanket when you are in final savasana. He could gently work your shoulders. He is ashtanga experienced.

where you can safely practice yoga?
