Preteen and Teen Yoga Ages: 11-17 years old. 

Students will practice pose sequences designed to help them to discover greater strength, flexibility, and comfort in their bodies. As they practice, they will naturally experience greater confidence and self-acceptance. Specific breathing techniques taught in class can come in handy during the school day at home, whenever there’s a need to calm down and hit the reset button. Yoga practice can help tweens/teens learn to regulate their mental and emotional states, and in turn relieve stress to promote better focus, clarity, and creativity. Focus will be placed on alignment, improving balance, coordination, and concentration, and each class will conclude with a brief guided relaxation, giving tweens/teens techniques they can use in daily life to find a sense of calm and well-being whenever they need it. No previous yoga experience necessary. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a refillable water bottle. Parent or guardian must register child for yoga.

Class always begins by grounding the body and breath to feel the support of the earth.  We use fluid movements to warm up and take a slow approach to traditional vinyasa yoga.  There is emphasis on balancing our effort and ease and usually an opportunity to find some free flowing expression in your whole body!  Come ride the gentles of slow flow with me

About Lauren:

One of my primary ways of existing in the world is movement.  My yoga practice first developed in high school to compliment the abrasiveness of my dance training and it hasn’t left my side since.  I moved to New York in 2014 to pursue work as a modern dancer and this is when my yoga and healing arts education truly began.  My studies include dance kinesiology and pedagogy, somatic movement practices, alignment based vinyasa yoga, therapeutics of yoga, breathwork and meditation.  I began my studying Thai Massage in 2017 and continue to deepen my bodywork practice through ongoing curiosity and self-study of the body and our conscious connection to it.   

My teaching is inspired by the elements— the expressive nature of being human— in my classes there is ample space to be yourself and attune to that which is already inside of you.  When I’m not teaching or offering bodywork, I am likely spending time with my little tiger cat Moku, cooking, and taking nature walks with my partner Alex. The intensity of this land allows for quietude and reflection, life in the desert reminds us of fortitude, an element we can unveil within our practice and throughout our lives.

THIS CLASS IS A MEDITATION CLASS!!

Primordial Sound Meditation, or PSM, is a healing practice that allows us to experience inner calm and deep relaxation. If you’d like to start or deepen a meditation practice, there is no time like the present to begin. Primordial Sound Meditation is rooted in ancient Vedic Teachings of India and similar to Transcendental Meditation (T.M.)

For thousands of years, people have used meditation to move beyond the mind’s busy activity and emotional turbulence into profound peace and expanded awareness. In the age of digital devices, social media, and busy schedules, the restful awareness we experience during meditation is more valuable than ever. Not surprisingly, the number of people suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic health problems is on the rise—and many are searching for peace of mind.

The most direct way to experience inner silence and well-being is through meditation; a tool to rediscover the body’s own inner intelligence. Scientific research reveals that when you meditate, your breathing slows, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormone levels fall.

Class always begins by grounding the body and breath to feel the support of the earth.  We use fluid movements to warm up and take a slow approach to traditional vinyasa yoga.  There is emphasis on balancing our effort and ease and usually an opportunity to find some free flowing expression in your whole body!  Come ride the gentles of slow flow with me

About Lauren:

One of my primary ways of existing in the world is movement.  My yoga practice first developed in high school to compliment the abrasiveness of my dance training and it hasn’t left my side since.  I moved to New York in 2014 to pursue work as a modern dancer and this is when my yoga and healing arts education truly began.  My studies include dance kinesiology and pedagogy, somatic movement practices, alignment based vinyasa yoga, therapeutics of yoga, breathwork and meditation.  I began my studying Thai Massage in 2017 and continue to deepen my bodywork practice through ongoing curiosity and self-study of the body and our conscious connection to it.   

My teaching is inspired by the elements— the expressive nature of being human— in my classes there is ample space to be yourself and attune to that which is already inside of you.  When I’m not teaching or offering bodywork, I am likely spending time with my little tiger cat Moku, cooking, and taking nature walks with my partner Alex. The intensity of this land allows for quietude and reflection, life in the desert reminds us of fortitude, an element we can unveil within our practice and throughout our lives.

About the teacher:

Rev. Hanna Neumann, Ordained Preceptor of “The Science of Mentalphysics”

In the mid-1960’s I began the practice of Meditation and Yoga and pursued the study and spiritual discovery of the deeper Christian Philosophy, Confucianism and Buddhism. I supported, taught and helped develop spiritual teaching centers in Asia and Europe. In the 80’s and 90’s I raised my family and took College Business and Real Estate courses.

In 2014 I was ordained as Ministers and Preceptors of The Science of Mentalphysics by Rev. Dr. F. Haggard and Rev. E. Haggard, both ordained at the Institute of Mentalphysics. I regularly teach the Mentalphysics Courses and the 8 Key Breaths practice. Ding Le Mei the founder of the Science of Mentalphysics, asks that in All Things “Be Happy and Give Thanks”

One of my many passions besides the pursuit of Spirituality is playing singles tennis matches for the USTA women tennis league since 1994 under the guidance of my accomplished tennis professional.

East meets West with this fun fusion of pilates and yoga. 

With the yogic focus on enhanced mind and body awareness, strength, stamina, flexibility and balance, with Pilates techniques to improve posture and create a strong, stable foundation for movement. 

Amber has dedicated her entire life towards somatic practices. Dancing from an early age and eventually as a profession, movement has been a grounding force in her life, allowing her to be introspective, mindful, and curious about the mind-body connection. After working with several ballet companies and having been a yoga student for more than a decade, she felt a shift within to seek more understanding of the subtle energies of life. She completed her 200hr yoga teacher training in 2017 and immediately began teaching and sharing her practices. Amber specializes in teaching vinyasa and yin classes, in which she often blends aspects of The 8 Limbs of Yoga, integrates dance-like flows, and visualization to help guide students towards inner peace and collective connection.

Amber continues to dance and also holds a certification in personal training. She enjoys hiking, spending time with her husband, and immersing herself in nature.
