Outdoor Yoga and Walking Meditation      Instructor:  Jill      $10   $2 from each $10 will be donated to Sierra Club

Join Jill at her home in north Huntley for a fun way to practice yoga, outdoors!  Each class will have a different theme for the day, and will reflect that in the pose work, visualizations, seated meditation and walking meditation.  Walking meditation will be practiced either before or after the asana practice depending on the theme.  Participants are asked to bring shoes appropriate for walking in the grass, a mat if you have one, a beach towel or blanket to go under your mat, and a small hand towel.  We will be practicing our poses on a large concrete patio which overlooks an expanse of lawn with a pond, or on the grass if everyone wishes.  It’s a beautiful setting for contemplation, quiet, and reflection.

Tuesday, September 14   9:00-10:30 am            Please register for these classes, 3 minimum to hold the class, will be cancelled otherwise. 

Saturday, September 25   9:30-11:00 am           You must call or email to register.

 Men's Yoga Class  

More to be added soon!

$15 each class, please pre-register/pre-pay for these classes.  Classes will not run if there is not enough interest.                Instructor:  Michael Hedrick

This class is for men only!  Would you like to try a yoga class but haven't because you were concerned you might be the only man in class?  We at Kalitrea Yoga Studio believe that there are many of you out there who would like to try yoga but for many reasons have not yet made the first step.  You may try one of both of these classes to see what yoga is all about or maybe you are a current student of yoga but would like to be have a different kind of class.  Michael would like to share his knowledge and love of yoga with you.  He would like to show you that yoga can calm and center, but also stretch and strengthen.   It is our hope that if there are enough men who would like a men's only class we can offer it on a permanent basis.  We welcome your input!
