SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Yin Yoga - All Levels
DESCRIPTION:A complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating yoga styles that are predominant today. Some call it the “other half of yoga.” In Yin Yoga\, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body. \nPhysically\, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints\, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically\, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system\, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. As this practice emphasizes stillness and silence\, Yin Yoga prepares both the body and the mind for deeper experiences in meditation

SUMMARY:Beginner Guitar (Ages 15+)
DESCRIPTION:Join our beginning guitar class and get hooked on guitar! Students will need their own acoustic guitars – they’ll be learning simple chords and songs in no time. Level 1 classes begin with an introductory section for 8 weeks. Students may then continue and register for an additional 8 weeks.  \nThis program grows into the a Level 2 and 3 classes meet for 16 weeks and explore more advanced chord fingerings and a broader repertoire of material. Levels 4 and 5 also meet for 16 weeks\, and incorporate songwriting with guitar instruction. As students advance\, they can transition at any time to private lessons. \nStudents must have a guitar for the class – and for practicing! We recommend purchasing a guitar\, since buying a beginner-level instrument is nearly the same cost as renting. These are quality instruments that are a good investment and can be used for years.
