Come join veteran yoga instructor Marcia Greene. Suggested Donation: $5 – $10 (Free for BloomBars volunteers). Yoga mats available.

Marcia’s practice is grounded in Hatha yoga in the Sivananda tradition:

HATHA: Hatha is a very general term that encompasses many of the physical types of yoga. Generally, if a class is described as Hatha style, it is likely to be slow-paced and gentle and provide a good introduction to the basic yoga poses. SIVANANDA: Sivananda yoga is based upon five principles:

1. Proper exercise (Asana, focusing on 12 poses in particular)

2. Proper breathing (Pranayama)

3. Proper relaxation (Savasana)

4. Proper diet (Vegetarian)

5. Positive thinking (Vedanta) and meditation (Dhyana)

Her practice will offer instruction on the First 3 principles – Asana, Pranayama & Savasana. Marcia has completed her training and accumulated the required teaching hours pursuant to the standards of the Yoga Alliance for status as a Senior/Advanced Registered Yoga Teacher (“RYT”), known in the yoga world as a “Yoga Acharya.”

Some yoga thoughts to which she subscribes:

“The primary benefits of yoga are increased strength and flexibility of both body and mind, as well as an increased sense of focus and clarity.”

“Yoga philosophy teaches that we are allocated only a certain number of breaths between our first inhalation at birth and our last exhalation at death. So the more slowly you draw each breath, the longer – and calmer – you will live.”
