Cancelled Body Awareness Spinal Yoga
2020-02-07 18:30 - 19:30 (America/Kentucky/Louisville) | Yoga by Donation, Portsmouth Studio, 147 Congress Street, Suite C, Portsmouth, 03801
Spinal yoga & myofascia Hydration
Spinal Yoga is a great precursor to learning
the Rope Walls ( soon to come to YbD). Spinal Yoga is
a yoga for beginners and also for those students with experience.
Therefore spinal yoga can easily be called : Know your body well yoga.
The level of this class is beginner to experienced. The instructor
style allows for this mix by calling verbal
instruction which is movement by movement.
At times the class may begin or end with a segment of Soma Yoga or
Restorative Yoga or Yin Yoga .
BAM
evalyn has added Body Awarness Movement to
the class to clearly hear signals the body gives
all day long to prevent distorted body postures
that eventually lead to pain, tightness and discomfort. BAM
Evalyn’s experience with body mechanics helps
the student to re-orient the body to proper alignment in Spinal Yoga.
As a result natural Body Mechanics keeps the soft tissue
internally hydrated. The body is now flexible consequently allowing
the body to move in a more relaxed way and thus relaxing
the mind. The student can find breath work easier and
furthermore relax
tendons, ligaments,and fascia as well as muscle.

Spinal Yoga will make use of varying body
movement toward a more natural state and pleasant state. The postures
focus on slow lengthening and strengthening of the spine.
It maintains
healthy alignment of the skeletal system. This results in slow methodical
transitions of the body so you gently can move into depth without
sacrificing form.
The instructor helps to create awareness of symmetry in the hips.
Knees and thighs and feet reorient to proper alignment.
This improves gait and posture.
Learn to use the key pivot points of the body and
bend where you were meant to hinge ; discard
old behaviors that put stress on joints and spine.
Focus on natural movements that
we have abandoned in our insular interior dwellings.
Get back to our more natural strong state.

Spinal Yoga will incorporate movement
that replicates functional use as well as traditional
asana for stretch, rest and corrective strategies.

The class will help to use the internal hydration process
of developing fascia fluidity. The class will increase
the sensitivity to sensory inputs and develop proprioception
for easier balance and concentration.
The class will help to find the inner child intelligence,
and return to child like suppleness. Spinal
Yoga is strong and balanced and
will help with deeepening the connection to the cord
of Light and utilize your inner guide to release and relax.
The longer classes will incorporate the traditional
yoga style focusing on inner developement, living
in three cities: body, personal mind, Universal mind.
intensity: moderate
level: beginner to advanced

CANCELLED Easy Yoga for Everyone *FIR
2020-02-07 16:00 - 17:15 | Yoga by Donation, Portsmouth Studio, 147 Congress Street, Suite C, Portsmouth, 03801
Easy Yoga for
everyone . Great for
Thrombosis, as well.
Yoga for Seniors and everyone is else
is a hybrid yoga class taught in the Far Infra Red (FIR )studio.
The FIR studio generates healing Nitric Oxide that stimulates
the release of toxins in the body. As a result it deeply relaxes muscles
and so you can stretch into asanas ( poses) easily. Therefore
a beginner can move with ease and an advanced student
can go even deeper into the pose.
Lymphatic System
This hybrid class developed by one of the first Yogis in
the Greater Portsmouth Area, Bob Vaccaro, is unique. It specializes in massaging the
muscles and soft tissue, including the lymphatic system.
For this reason the massaging action thus can reduce the inflammation of arthritis
and begin motility of the lymphatic system. Sometimes the class is taught
by his protege, evalyn.
Bob is also an Hippocrates Nutrition Practioner and can impart his knowledge
on diets that help the healing process of the body.
All Level Students, all ages , healthy
Most noteworthy Bob’s revolutionary yoga style
allows advanced students
with no maladies
to share a class with those recovering from cancer or
who have arthritis. The instructor calls out step by step
movements so anyone can follow into the asana.
Yoga for Seniors and everyone else is a class of
perpetual movement. You can tailor it to go
as slow as you would like or as fast. Each student,
can therefore increase
the posture to move it to advanced.
Above all the advantages of Perpetual movement in yoga is that
your soft tissue is more responsive. The movement into
depth is subtle and painless. It aids in releasing synovial
fluid around joints. It works all your muscles in a very
gentle way.
Arthritis
The FIR heat, not exceeding a
comfortable warmth,
acts as a stimulus to relieve
arthritic pain and aids in
lubricating the joints.
Heart and circulation
For those with thrombosis the NO produced by the
FIR smooths the epitheal cells of the arteries and
helps to reduce high blood pressure.
Yoga for Seniors and
everyone else is a class
which works on the principle
that you are co creator in your
yoga practice.
The instructor gently guides you
into a traditional simple Hatha pose with the spin.
Therefore the class is universal in appeal.
With breath and movement you
decide how gentle or rigorous you
would like to take it.

Once fascia is hydrated, stretched and opposing
muscles have been conditioned we will follow
with a deeper restorative class. You may have wished
you brought your PJ’s you will be so mellowed out.
All Level Restorative Yin Yoga is a class which uses
props and soft cushions to help your soft tissues,
muscles, ligaments and tendons relax and restore.
At time when we do a yin series or interject Yin
in the restorative postures it is only to allow for
gravity and the weight of your own body to enable
you to focus purely on breath and R E L A X and
destress.
BAM

Evalyn has added Body Awarness Movement to
the class. BAM helps to clearly hear the signals
the body gives to the mind all day long.
When you hear the signals you prevent distorted body postures
that eventually lead to pain, tightness and discomfort.
This is a class where you will be pampered, stretched and
restored to a calm state.
Register via email , click here, please so the instructor may set up
and prepare for your arrival.
All Level Restorative Yin Yoga
is a class of combinations,
combining restoration with
Yin practices moves the body,
then mind to a deep state of anxiety reduction.
At first we work on finding your breath. Most of us
stop breathing deeply during a stress filled day. We find
that deep rhythmic breath. Then the works is on
relaxing the tight muscles that
accumulated tension through out the day. Stretching
with gentleness no forcing , moving gradually deeper
and deeper at your own pace.
Once the body is limbered up and your mind forgets the
worries of the day we move into all level
restorative yin yoga. Your circulation pulses more quickly.
It moves to the tips of your body. Flushes out the stress
toxins of the day. Anxiety starts to fade. Your facia hydrates
as a result of the improved circulation and soft tissue does
become flexible. Joints are soothed by the new fluids
circulating through out the body.
We ask you to work with gravity or rather have
gravity work on you. Hold a comfortable position
supported by props and let gravity pull those body
parts deeper. It is effortless for you all the while
you just breathe. Breathe deeply.
Register today for the Thursday evening yoga
Class.
This is a Far Infra Red Class.

Deep Stretch Yoga BEGINNER + *FIR
2018-05-17 18:10 - 19:20 | Yoga by Donation, Portsmouth Studio, 147 Congress Street, Suite C, Portsmouth, 03801
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.
Would you not want this to be a place
where you can safely practice yoga?
Give it a try.
