Namaste Ya'll


So, no doubt you've heard the term "Namaste" spoken by teachers and students at the end of a class. And perhaps you've noticed that certain movements seem to go along with it...closing the eyes with hands in prayer, a bowing of the head or body, a general demeanor of respect and acceptance. But what does "Namaste" mean? Literally translated, it means "I bow to you." It is accepted as a humble greeting straight from the heart. The gesture is representative of the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us. To learn more, click here.

New to yoga and not sure where to start? Confused as to why all those postures you hear about have animal names? Want to do something good for your body, mind and spirit? We have a 6-week Intro to Hatha Yoga session beginning Monday, August 21. This class will introduce students to basic postures and alignment, as well as various breathing techniques used in yoga. Participants will learn associated anatomical movements and grow to understand their own bodies, including its strengths, weaknesses and limitations. Students will gain the knowledge and confidence necessary for participating in a variety of yoga styles. This class meets every Monday night at 7:30. Cost for the 6-week session is $75. Call 614.265.9642 to begin your own yoga journey.

FYI: Donna's 9:30 Vinyasa and 11:30 Pranayama/Yin classes are cancelled on Sept. 16 due to the Dianne Kadonaga anatomy workshop!
