Chris's classes
incorporate a good deal of flowing routines, as she is strongly influenced
by Kali Ray's Tri-Yoga. The use of props is encouraged to make
postures more comfortable and to encourage deeper relaxation. In her classes you may also practice a bit of QiGong, myofascial release techniques, "MELT"-ing, or Somatic Movements.
She is a certified instructor of The MELT Method, self administered massage techniques using foam rollers and small balls. These techniques are proving to be an invaluable aid to the yoga practice. She is also a certified Somatic Movement Coach. Chris loves chanting and you can view the chant that begins her classes here.
Gary's teaching style
focuses on alignment and understanding the body, based on his years
of experience as a Chiropractor and a Yogi. He also brings a wealth
of knowledge from his lengthy study and practice of Applied Kinesiology to his teaching.
Private
lessons are available for people with injuries or illnesses or for
those who need individual attention.
