Winter Therapeutics Series with Irene Alexander

Sundays: February 5 & March 11
2:00 - 4:00pm

 

Yoga is an incredible tool for health, balance and insight. You'll learn how to adapt the practice specifically for your body and your need. In Irene's words:

 

I am greatly inspired by what I am learning, and so appreciative of the Two Dog community that connects me to wonderful teachers and connects me to you. In the new year I will be continuing my once-a-month Sunday classes with an open format. We'll be practicing yoga as a therapeutic tool for treating injuries, pain, stress, imbalance -- if you've got it, bring it in and learn how to adapt the practice to meet your needs. One of the things I most appreciate about yoga as therapy, is the recognition of the interactions between body, mind and environment that are at the essence of yoga philosophy. Our classes will weave together a practice of whole-being health and support. I'd love to see you there!

Pranayama

Selected Sundays with Leslie Mouton

2:00 - 4:00pm

An art and a science, pranayama is a subtle, inward practice. While the body is supported in reclining or seated postures, specific breath practices will be given. Pranayama practice brings awareness and balance, and deepens the understanding of the body-mind connection.

I have taken yoga classes in Seattle on and off for 30 years, and have experienced a variety of yoga instructors and studios, but my experiences at Two Dog Yoga top it all.
