Sandy Conway has started a new 10 week Yoga session at the Academy on Tues and Thurs at 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. Each session is 90 minutes. Continuing students can attend any session and beginning students on Thursdays only. Classes are very informative and instructional for the beginner, making it a very comfortable, educational and enjoyable experience.
Typically the sign up for this 10 week session would have been this week only, but Sandy has been gracious to extend registration for another week for those who were not able to make it this week.
Below is a little information about the benefits of practicing Yoga followed by Sandy’s bio. Hope to see you there.
Why Is Hatha Yoga Such A Good Form Of Exercise
The first benefit is that it’s a fitness routine that can be used by people of all ages and levels of fitness. It can get you into shape and keep you that way if used regularly. Yoga differs from other forms of exercise in that it involves motions that don’t cause strain on the body. When performed correctly, the asanas have no negative effects on the body or mind.
It isn’t an aerobic exercise but it uses almost every muscle. It can help to develop and improve balance, coordination and a feeling of being centered. The limbs are used like free weights and the body’s center of gravity is moved to create resistance. Over time, the limbs become stronger and the focus then shifts to endurance as the asanas are held for increasing periods of time.
The aim is quality of movement rather than quantity. Regular practice of hatha yoga can bring peace and happiness to the mind and improved health and relaxation to the body.
How Hatha Yoga Can Help At Any Age
——————————————————————————
Sandy has studied yoga since 1971 and taught since 1992. She is certified from the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy www.himalayaninstitute.org and I am a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance www.yogaalliance.org
Currently, she teaches Hatha Yoga which is an experience based style including asana(postures), pranayama(breathing techniques), and dhyana(relaxation).
Her background includes, but is not limited to, study and practice in Kundalini, Raja, and Tantric Yogas.
Yoga can be practiced by anyone with any size, shape or age. Class includes instruction and demonstration in basic anatomy, structure, and alignment. Everyone proceeds at their own level of understanding and comfort. There is NO hurry and never any expectations on my part. Alternative postures are offered throughout the course.
Contact me with any specific questions, comments, or concerns. Thanks for your time.
