Yoga at Harbin

 

Three free yoga classes daily
8:00 am – Intermediate
10:00 am – Beginning
5:00 pm – Open

Harbin Yoga is a yoga of heart consciousness. In class, students have the opportunity to experience yoga as a spiritual practice centered in self-awareness. With this awareness, we explore breath, alignment, balance and symmetry in asana. Our classes inspire lightness, humor and self-acceptance through cultivating an open atmosphere within which studentscan deepen into their practice.

Classes begin with setting a spiritual moodthrough chanting, silence, visualization or meditation. This is followed by breath practice, pranayama. From this initial place of softness and stillness, asana is explored. All of the yogis and yoginis who share practice at Harbin are also involved in therapeutic touch. We use hands-on touch in the classes to facilitate awareness in asana. This yoga is a practice influenced by diverse paths including Standing Wave, Iyengar, Jivamukti, and Integral Yoga.

yogaIn all classes, increasing range of motion,releasing the spine and pelvic girdle and addressing the therapeutic needs of the students are primary areas of focus. The beginners’ practice at 10 am is a floor practice adaptable to anyone in any physical condition. The intermediate practice at 8 am is more vigorous and cultivates the experience of asana on a deeper level. There is also an open level class at 5 pm. We look to hold the yoga space sacred and safe for all students, supporting in the moment whatever arises from the practice.

Each class is unique depending on the personal style of the person sharing. Each class is similar in its focus on supporting the unfoldment of consciousness through the sharing of yoga. Come celebrate the heart with us!
