New Monday Night Class taught by Autumn Bolin

Curious about the new Yoga for Your Type class on Monday evenings from 7-8:15pm? Autumn shares more about it below....

Monday evening’s class “Yoga for Your Type” is an Ayurvedic-based yoga practice that offers an opportunity to learn about and experience the wisdom and healing benefits of the sister sciences, Ayurveda and Yoga. The main focus in one’s Yoga practice is to calm and heal the mind through the meditation, pranayama, and asana to (re)discover self-realization while the main focus in Ayurveda is rooted in one’s physiology to (re)discover self-healing. The intention of this class is to offer healing asanas with an awareness of Ayurvedic aspects such as doshas (body types), gunas (mental qualities), our energy cycles, and more. Ayurveda encourages us to identify and honor our unique physical constitutions; by doing so, we can take the helm of our health and wellness. The focal points of this class will be to balance the doshas, strengthen the condition of the body, enhance our prana, and restore balance to the mind. During this 75-minute practice, we will engage in meditation, pranayama, and various asanas with guidance regarding intention and breath to help restore one’s natural balance. The asanas will include standing, balancing, inversions, backbends, forward bends, twists, and floor poses and will range in intensity, but the physical practice will approached with gentleness to find peace in the evening hours.

*The title of the course comes from one of Dr. David Frawley’s books; I am currently in his program of study to become certified as an Ayurvedic Counselor.
