The principles of balance and integration are the basis of all yoga. Hatha yoga uses physical poses or asanas. This class will focus on exploring and adapting yoga poses to find a practice that balances your flexibility, strength and stamina.
You may want to bring writing materials to make your own notes during class. Wear clothes you can move in, and extra warm layers for relaxation. Bring a small pillow as well as a sticky mat. If notified in advance, Linda is able to bring an extra supply. Other props will be provided as required.
Linda's teaching integrates 30 years of study and practice in a variety of yoga and body work methods. She believes that physical postures are powerful tools for both equilibrium and change and finds that learning to move with awareness and attention to alignment is the essence of yoga.

In a futuristic, fascist society, a car made of organic material hits a mechanical deer dislodging its spirit from its body. The driver of the car engages with the spirit deer through a series of dialogues, dances, and musical interludes, a kind of Pas de Deux between the organic and the mechanical, between the spirit and the flesh, between nature and culture, between the past and the future. Show is held at Neutral Ground & Tickets are $10.00 at the door.
We at New Dance Horizons would like to send a huge thank you to everyone involved in this year's Secret Gardens Tour. It was a fantastic experience and truly, we could not have done it without you.
