Valencia offers Two Different Yoga Classes as well as a Revolutionary Core training class called B2P2. Our classes are limited to a small group of participants to make the class much more personal. Our instructors are then able to give as close personal instructional to each individual as much as possible. Valencia trues to make each class as rewarding to the member the best we can.
Our classes are very reasonably priced at $12.50 for a member and $15.00 for a non-member. Our classes are as close to a one on one training with a certified trainer/instructor as you can get.
YOGA WITH VALARIE
HATHA & VINYASA FLOW YOGA FOR
MIND, BODY & SPIRIT
Our teacher, Ms. Valerie Nichols, is a yoga practitioner for more than thirty years. She is both a 500 Hour Certified Yoga Instructor and a Reiki Practitioner who has taught classes for the last twenty years. Ms., Nichols also trains yoga teachers at the Yoga Teachers Institute and the Yoga Shakti Ashram.
Yoga is an ancient discipline over 2,000 years old. It is a philosophy to improve the mind, body and spirit. Hatha Yoga is a series of exercises (or asanas) that assists in understanding the connection between mind and body.
The benefits of hatha yoga include not only flexibility, but also strengthening/ building muscle tissue and increasing body stamina and endurance. Yoga exercise can also assist the body to completely relax. Regular yoga practice can be very helpful with problems of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stress, and insomnia.
You will be taught asanas for strength, stamina and flexibility and proper bio-mechanical alignment in both the traditional hatha style and the vinyasa flow technique. You will also learn proper breathing exercises (praanayam) and techniques for relaxation and meditation.
Please wear loose clothing suitable for exercise and bring a yoga mat. All asanas are done barefoot.
We look forward to seeing you in class!
Om Shanti
YOGA WITH JAMES
Evening Yoga on Mondays at 8:30PM
This class includes a Vinyasa flow, which is a style of yoga that pairs movement with breathing. It also involves a Yin style of yoga, which encourages yogis to hold poses for one minute or longer. Together with breathing exercises they encourage meditation and relaxation which is ideal for an evening yoga practice. James Jennings has been practicing yoga for over eight years. He found yoga to be helpful in dealing with his asthma, which led to his interest in using yoga as part of integrative treatment with traditional medicine.
