Upcoming event, Beginner Yoga Series, September 9th from 9:45 - 11:00 a.m.
at Illuminate Space
All classes at the Illuminate Space are for all levels! Even if you feel confident flowing along with the movements—this series of classes with Cathy will improve your practice in a big way to know that —this practice is way more than the movements. The physical body is just one thread of the whole strand.
This series will offer you a solid introduction to the eight limbs of yoga:
yamas (do good)
niyamas (be good)
asana (the movement)
pranayama (the breath)
pratyhara (withdrawal of the senses)
dharana (concentration)
dhyana (meditation)
samadhi (bliss)
We will review two limbs each week before moving into a practice. Journaling questions will be offered. Final class to have tea and a special ceremony of our own. The foundation for a home practice will be set but it is my hope that you will find a new home in this space together.
Come connect to your own strength, intelligence and light.
Mondays for four consecutive weeks beginning September 9. 9:45-11am
Investment is $85.00.

"Cathy's teaching is practical, confident, appropriately lighthearted, and extremely helpful to athletes of any sport. Her language is crystal clear, her modifications are geared to each student's unique gifts, and her sequences respect the needs of the athlete at various points in the training cycle. I give her the highest recommendation--if you are anywhere near Roanoke, seek her out! " ~ Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT 500 + Author, Sage Yoga Teacher Training
Flow & GlowA one hour Flow of unbroken sequences of movement linked with breath to build heat in the physical body by focusing on strength and balance followed by gentle stretches, a brief guided meditation and final relaxation. Glow! As we enable our own true light to shine. |
Restorative Yoga
Props to relaxation! This class is for anyone suffering from being overstimulated, overdone, overworked, overloaded--or over "it." No stops to the props in this class to help you feel supported and cozy. Typically 75 minutes, this class includes a mere 5 or 6 poses which allow time for breath and ease and true restoration to the body, mind, spirit. |
Yoga Nidra
Get cozy and be guided into a deep relaxation through breathing and following a set of verbal instructions to lead you to surrender to the state where your senses are all internalized and you experience a state of spaciousness, greater awareness and ease. Regular practice can reduce stress and anxiety, helps alleviate chronic pain, improve sleep and activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is our "rest and digest" system of the physical body. Blankets will be available to keep you warm. Bring something light to cover your eyes. Don't underestimate the healing that can be gained through relaxation.
Freeform Yoga Flow
You won't find any warrior poses in this class. Tap into your own instinctual movements to move energy in the body which is the same goal as in any yoga asana practice! Basic movements of the spine will be led by the teacher to progressively warm the body and breath will be cued as a reminder to further encourage movement of energy. This is an internal practice as is all yoga--as class progresses the only "right" way to move is how you feel instinctually. As the freeform movement winds down you will be directed to a final relaxation. Don't doubt your ability to LOVE this class--there is NO way to come with experience or coordination or knowledge--just come. This is a class inspired by ecstatic dance and tantric dance and is the best cure for stagnation, low energy or any bad mood.
Hot Hatha
90 minutes of breath and sweat infuse this heated vinyasa flow. A quote, lesson or inspirational reading along with chanting and a relevant playlist set a focus for the duration. Meditation and Savasana with a cold towel seal it in before the end.
