३ लेग्गेद दोग

Bunny loves happy puppy pose!

About 3Legged Dog .....
Bunny is my faithful companion of 10 years. Three years ago she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma( bone cancer) and underwent surgery to remove her front leg.
Her healing journey, her courageous heart, her unwavering spirit and her physical grace have been a constant inspiration and motivation for my yoga practice. I am continually learning from her ability to remain steady and experience the simple joys of being alive on this earth in the present moment as well as her non attachment to that which no longer serves.
here's a link to more on bunny and her 'blog'

Vinyasa Flow
Yoga with Donna Jay

This class is designed to enable you to grow and cultivate your yoga practice in a way that is challenging, graceful and honest. Using the fundamentals of vinyasa with creative asana sequencing, universal alignment principles and compassion, the practice becomes a weaving of breath, mindfulness, power, freedom, grace, love, devotion, humor and gratitude.

In this class I offer a creative, dynamic , often rigorous yet always nurturing yoga flow in which emphasis is placed on quality of breath, realigning with trust to our compassionate wise and noble self, connecting authentically to the physical, mental, emotional, and intuitive bodies; the flow becomes a means to build physical strength balance and awareness thus leading to mental clarity, peace and eventually a state of Samadhi - bliss - Oneness . By warming and opening the body, a safe space is created in which to heal and uplift the spirit. I wish to offer space in which to move through mental or physical blocks, and encouragement toward moving within our unbounded creative intelligence, full potential and that which dwells within our hearts.
Class will begin with traditional sanskrit mantra or chanting, meditation and pranayama ( breathing technique). we will move safely through sun salutations, core work, standing poses, seated forward bends, balancing, twists, inversions, arm balancing, backbends and conclude with deep relaxation.

Classes will be of mixed levels so beginners and more seasoned practitioners can learn from each other.
modifications will be given as well as more advanced work for those who are ready.

Yoga is a path of Self study and Self Knowledge. What we learn 'on the mat' can be immediately applied and integrated into all of our relationships and actions.
It is a path that leads to ' healing the estrangement between the self and everything else' - Sri Louise

Anusara with Shalini
This is a gentle class suitable for beginners, those who are recuperating from injuries, enjoy a gentle pace or want to learn more about alignment in the poses. Come open your heart with this easy going fun group which meets every Sunday at 10:30am.



Shalini Latour (E-RYT 500) began her journey into Hatha Yoga while living in an ashram. She practiced yoga, meditation, chanting, studied philosophy, and traveled to India twice during her 10-year stay there. She began the study and practice of Anusara Yoga in 1989, working directly with John Friend.
She was the first Anusara certified teacher in Cincinnati, and has conducted numerous teacher trainings, Immersions and therapeutic trainings in Cincinnati.
Shalini is also a chocolatier, pastry chef and author of Icing on the Cake. Visit her website at www.shaliniscakes.com

Yin
with Sandi
Yin yoga is a powerful practice which targets tendons, ligaments and fascia within the body. Each posture during a Yin yoga class is held for long periods of time to encourage the slow and safe opening of connective tissues, leaving the yogi with an overall feeling of lightness, spaciousness and peace. A Yin yoga class is the perfect antidote to stress and a great counter balance to more active styles of yoga. This class is suitable for all levels of practitioner.

Sandi Carpenter took her first yoga class in 2000. She was hooked from the beginning because of how good she felt. It was how yoga changed her life for the better that made her decide to become a teacher. She eventually obtained her 200 hour certification from Anna Ferguson at Gratitude in Motion. She has been teaching since 2005. Sandi is committed through the teaching of yoga to help others become the best they can be physically, psychologically and spiritually.



Chi (Qi) Flow
....
This class will guide you through Chi Gong* 'based' warm ups with some gentle basic yoga techniques and meditation. A great warming connective practice for anyone. gentle and energizing. Chi gong is a Chinese healing technique that connects the body and spirit by directing breath and movement internally through the body's chakras and meridians- energy channels. the movements are simple and the effects profound.
