yogas citta vritti nirodhah

In the west, yoga *posture* practice abounds. It's become quite popular, so wonderful that folks are benefiting from the physical movements of yoga! However, because of the way our culture is oriented, the subtler, richer aspects of this ancient practice are often left behind. This is where we at Exhale step in- seeking to offer you no gimmicks, no latest trend/fad, but a step back to the foundational practices taught to us by Pantanjali and other sages thousands of years ago. 

Our practices are rooted in these foundations. Yoga Sutra 1.2 tell us that "yoga is the calming of the fluctuations of the mind". This is our goal! Everything else we do, from our conscious breathwork to our postures to our meditation, is designed in support of that goal. We invite you to join us for small group yoga or schedule your private session. 

If you're just starting out, the following practice can be a wonderful introduction to yoga: 50 minute introductory practice

 

 

Weekly Small Group Classes

*Schedule via the Mindbody app or right here*

All of our small group classes are designed to be inclusive to all bodies and abilities. We work to calm the mind (Yoga Sutra 1.2), cultivate comfort and stability in the body (YS 2.46), and incorporate the 8 limbs in to a well rounded practice. Nervous system nourishment, conscious breathwork, postures, guided relaxation and meditation are all components. Join us for: All Levels (balance of strength, flexibility and unwinding, customized to the students present that day) and Gentle Yoga (emphasis on soft unwinding within the body, without the focus on strength). 

Schedule:  

Tuesday 9:30 am Gentle Yoga with Sarah Martyn

Thursday 9:30 am All Levels Yoga with Sarah Martyn

Friday 4:15 pm Gentle Yoga with Sarah Martyn

Sunday 2:00 pm All Levels Yoga with Bethany Monday

Price for small group yoga is $23 per class, or purchase a pack of 10 for $190 (use within 12 months). New students may purchase a pack of 3 classes for $46.

 

Specialty Classes

Yin Yoga & Reiki with Sara Burns, CYT

In this 75 minute practice/90 minute experience (limited to 5 students for truly individualized attention), you will be supported by the mat and a variety of props as you sink and breathe into gentle, held asanas for 2-10 minutes each. This gives the body time to truly surrender into each pose, unwinding tension patterns in the fascia and guiding the mind into quiet. In Yin yoga, the focus is on passive sinking, allowing the tissues to lengthen slowly. Some poses can be mildly intense, often giving way to profound release after several minutes. Truly the myofascial release of yoga. 

Reiki will also be offered by Sara during select longer-held postures such as savasana (see the Reiki tab to learn more about this healing energy work modality). This restorative practice is designed to nurture you on every level. The last 15 minutes of your experience is reserved for questions, sipping herbal tea, browsing our lending library, or simply digesting your experience with deep breaths on our beautiful deck. 

Schedule:

2nd Wednesday of each month 5:45-7:15 

1 Sunday a month 11:00-12:30 (upcoming dates: November 24th, December 29th)

Cost for this practice is $40, or save $10 when you purchase a package of 3 for $110 (please plan to use in 6 months)
