Yoga is the language of breath and movement.  In a basic power vinyasa class, students learn the Ujjayi breathing technique and how to use it in the varying parts of a yoga practice.  A power practice can be challenging and taking rest when your body calls for it is of utmost importance.  In breath, movement, and rest we all participate in the process of self-discovery; getting to know our limits and furthering them at our own comfort level with full awareness of mind, body and breath.

Understanding the Cause of Health with Amanda Maloney. 
Natural Hygiene is literally the science of health. It is about identifying the cause or causes of a disease, as opposed to simply diagnosing and attempting (futilely) to cover up symptoms. By addressing the causes, it is therefore the next logical step to stop doing what is causing the problems, whether it be rooted emotionally, physically, spiritually, or mentally. A common factor in many people's dis-ease is diet, a close second being exercise, and a third certainly being sleep/meditation.  There are many factors that create (or destroy) health, and they all need to be addressed. Sunshine, fresh air, connection with others and relationships, love of nature, are all important examples.
--5:40-6:40--
Improvisational Dance with Anna Thompson and Taylor Knight
