Morning Yoga at the Museum

April 23: Join instructor Zayd Atkinson in a one hour all levels hatha and kriya yoga class. The practice of hatha yoga focuses on mind/body connection and purity. The emphasis on kriya yoga is to aid in relaxation while remaining aware of our experience(s). Dharana or ‘concentration’ methods and mudras (hand seals) will be introduced to assist in the management of the energy/sensations arising in and of the body; potentially generating various ‘states of mediation(s)’ within the practice(s). This class is a “well-rounded” yoga practice. Please bring your own yoga mat, and any yoga props you may use.

April 30: Join instructor Soul Lorain for a one hour all levels vinyasa yoga class at the Museum of Boulder. Staying true to the yoga definition: the balance between mind and body. This will be a time to honor the mind and body and learn how to best care for oneself. Unity between mind and body allows the life experience to be more joyous and abundant- something everyone deserves to experience. Come stretch, move, and create motion physically as well as mentally. Onwards and upwards facing dog! Please bring your own yoga mat, and any yoga props you may use.
