Classical Hatha Yoga begins May 17.

Thursdays, 9:30 am – 10:45 am
Begins May 17. Drop in or use your Feel Package!

Location: Stone Studio (room temperature)

Through a classical approach of bodily postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation (dyana), we’ll balance mind, body and spirit in this intensive practice. We’ll explore different asanas, posture sequences and the occasional vinyasa to open energy channels, stretch and align the body, promote balance and flexibility, and deepen our self-understanding. You’ll receive hands on attention to enhance your practice, gentle massage to relax and rejuvenate and better prepare for a restorative savasana or meditative yoga nidra to end the class. You’ll leave feeling energized and attuned.

PamPam Harris received her classical Hatha Yoga Certification with Swami Nitya of the Swami Vishnu Yoga Centre, and her Certificate of Yin Training from the Rama Lotus Centre with Mark Laham and Louise Sattler. She loves practicing all forms of yoga: Bikram, Vinyasa, Power, Yin, Restorative, and Traditional Hatha, and looks forward to sharing her love and joy of yoga.

Laughter Yoga Club – classes now on Thursdays at 3:30 pm.

Laughter Yoga, Thursdays at 3:30 pm! Stone Room.

Laughter Yoga combines breathing, exercises and laughing to stimulate your energy, and to balance and clear your mind to make space for positivity. Laughter yoga empowers community, and it’s fun and contagious!

Anyone can do it; it is scientifically proven; easy to learn and lots of fun. You can feel the benefits right from the first session!

The Feel Laughter Yoga club will meet weekly for 45 minutes.

  • FREE! (Donations are accepted).
  • No experience with yoga or laughing necessary.
  • Non-competitive.

Laughter Yoga is the brainchild of Dr. Madan Kataria, a Physician from Mumbai, India. He launched the first Laughter Club at a Park on March 13, 1995, with merely a handful of people. Today, it has become a worldwide phenomenon with more than 6000 Social Laughter Clubs in about 60 countries.

The concept of Laughter Yoga is based on a scientific fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. One gets the same physiological and psychological benefits. The best part of Laughter Yoga is you really don’t need any “reason” to laugh, and joining a Laughter Club makes it easy. It provides a platform which helps to break psychological barriers and shed all inhibitions. One can actually feel ‘fake’ laughter turn into ‘real’ and contagious laughter.  More info on Laughter Yoga.
