We are happy to announce our newest yoga class, called Active Stretch. An “active stretch” is performed by actively contracting the muscle as you lengthen it. Using this technique and variety of yoga poses, our Active Stretch class helps to relieve soreness, tension and stiffness in the body.

The class takes you through poses that target the major areas of tension in the body and access and release multiple layers of tissue and muscle. It will help improve joint stability and functionality while deepening kinesthetic awareness. This a good class for students with pain, poor flexibility, or muscle tension.

The Active Stretch class is great for all levels. It is available each Monday from 5-6 pm.

I was very excited last month to join the team at Two Hands offering some of the new yoga classes, as well as Reiki sessions. Now I am excited to bring a new workshop to the Two Hands community. On Tuesday, May 6th I will be teaching a Yoga For Desk Junkies special event from 6pm-7:30pm and it is not to be missed!

This will be different from the weekly noon classes that I teach. In this special 90-min event you will not only move through a refreshing practice but get specific guidance on what you can do at your desk to alleviate discomfort while you work. We will also go through some amazing self-massage techniques with Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls to relieve tension and reset your body.

This event is $25 and spaces are very limited so don’t wait to register. Get all the details and sign up here: http://bit.ly/1hPuTMC

Read a full description of this special class below:
“Get away from your desk and unglue yourself from your computer! It’s time to get up, get moving and get back into your body. If you spend much of your day chained to your desk you may not even realize how much damage all that sitting is doing to you.

Don’t fret! Yoga for Desk Junkies is your path to revive, repair and enliven your body and mind. With particular focus on chest, back, neck and hips this class will rebalance and realign your body while clearing the clutter from your mind. It doesn’t stop there. You’ll also learn simple self-massage techniques using the Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls (provided) to help release tension and relieve the especially tight or stuck areas of your body leaving you feeling free and refreshed in every way.

You will leave this class with many easy techniques you can do ON YOUR OWN at your desk or in your office for instant and ongoing relief even when you’re not on a yoga mat!

Please arrive 15 mins early for check in and a prompt start time.”
