What features/facilities does your Center offer that others do not?
Corinne Friesen's Serenity Yoga. We have a unique approach using Breathing Themes, a new way of practicing yoga. We apply our breathing in different ways to get different kinds of results, depending on our goals for our practice. For example, the first Breathing Theme is to explore your Relaxation Response, that your body relaxes as you breathe out. Since a relaxed body stretches better, you'll notice that the stretch automatically goes deeper as you breathe out, without you having to force it. In this way you get a deep stretch without pain or injury and you learn how to be more relaxed, even while working hard.
So in your first classes, we use this Breathing Theme to work with the connection between breathing, relaxation and stretching. Other Breathing Themes develop your Relaxation Response so it goes very deep and lasts a long time. Others work with your breathing in other ways, so that you can achieve other goals. In doing this, Serenity Yoga brings you to deep levels of practice very quickly. What used to take years of practice can take only months to understand and achieve.
We're also very good at modifying poses for your present level of skill. Our philosophy is that you don't have to do amazingly complex yoga poses to get the benefits. There are over 8000 official yoga poses, not included the ones you can make up on your own, so there's always some pose that can produce the benefits you're looking for within your level of ability. "Start where you are."
Does your center offer Yoga instruction in areas other than asana/pranayama?
Yes. Serenity Yoga Breathing Themes easily apply to hatha yoga practice, and to pranayama, (obviously) and to energy flow in the energy body. It's also very good for helping you cultivate different states of heart and mind. So, what we do becomes a blend that can encompass all yoga types. Most people start with the Hatha compoment, hoping to rebuild their bodies, learn how to relax and regain the energy they once had. From there, their practice develops to encompass a wider range of benefits.
What is/are the cost of a class/series of classes?
Group classes are based on $10 per class hour with discounts for pre-paid punch cards. Private classes vary on a sliding scale, ranging from $30 to $100 per session.
