Class Descriptions and Fees

Meditative Yoga is a class that weaves Sarah's experience in Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, Ashtanga, Agama, and Restorative yoga with meditation and relaxation techniques, to provide a deeply relaxing, yet potentially invigorating, practice. This class will leave you feeling harmonized throughout your system, offering you a fresh and positive start to your week.
Sarah Lamb has been studying and practicing yoga and meditation for over 10 years. She received her teacher training from Prana Yoga College in Vancouver, BC, in 2005 and founded Inner Bloom Yoga in 2007. She holds a B.A. in English and Psychology from SUNY Geneseo.
Sarah has just returned from 11 months of travel and work in Korea and Thailand, where she studied Agama Yoga with Swami Vivekananda. This form of yoga emphasizes the yin principle of stillness. The practice is done with the eyes closed, and each posture is held for 3 to 5 minutes to bring the self inward and foster a more meditative practice. Sarah also offers her mastery of Reiki by giving students gentle treatments when in relaxation, if they so desire.

Yoga and Ayurveda for the Uninitiated, with Heidi Friederich & Molly Oliver September only, three Mondays, 10 a.m.-12 noon, September 14, 21 & 28
Join Heidi Friederich and Molly Oliver in a welcoming environment to learn yoga’s beginning poses and the basics of Ayurveda, the ancient system of self-healing. This class is especially designed to introduce very beginning students to these proven wellness tools. If you ever have wanted to try yoga but thought you couldn’t because you would be too inflexible, uncoordinated, out of shape, not strong enough, not cute enough, etc. … well, this is the class for you. Yoga and Ayurveda can be applied almost anywhere, anytime, with great results. All you need for this class is the desire to try something new.
About the class: Each class is two hours long. The first hour will include gentle yoga poses and relaxation techniques taught by Heidi. In the second hour, Molly will explain individual Ayurvedic body types, as well as simple ways to increase energy and rest more deeply. Please come to class with an empty belly (3 hours after a big meal, 1-2 hours after a snack). Wear comfortable, loose, stretchy clothes you can move in. We will be barefoot for the yoga practice, but you will want a pair of cozy socks for the resting poses. All the yoga props you need are available at the studio, no need to buy any special equipment. (If you do have your own yoga or Pilates mat, feel free to bring it.)
Cost: $20 for individual classes or $50 for all 3. In order to give each participant individual attention, class size may be limited. If you are interested, contact Heidi at heidihihi@juno.com or 585.244.3262.
About the instructors: Heidi Friederich is a long-time student of yoga and philosophy. She recently completed yoga teacher training with Francios Raoult of Open Sky Yoga.

NEW PARADIGMS OF MOVEMENT Movement holds a mirror to the psyche, reflects inner and outer life issues, and if one is so inclined, it becomes a path toward wholeness. The following classes explore a new paradigm of movement, drawing on the teaching of Emilie Conrad, Susan Harper,Deborah Raoult, and others. This work offers as much to beginners as to persons experienced in yoga, dance, sports, or martial arts. It is ideal for body workers. Movement In Vivo,
with Priscilla Auchincloss. Wednesdays 9:30-11:30 am The body is the path.
This class is an exploration into the life of the body, developing attention, breath, sound, and
micromovement as tools of inquiry and processes of nourishment. As the intelligence of the body awakens, it reveals its
capacity to reshape patterns of thought, feeling, and action, and to
open channels of subtle perceiving and deep resourcing. The work goes
where it is needed, towards a state of health, resilience, and
body-mind congruence. Open to everyone. Newcomers, please contact Priscilla for an individual session prior to joining this class. Pay securely online! or bring payment to first class. $15 for single class, $85 for 6-class pass, $125 for 10-class pass.

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS with Priscilla Auchincloss. $25 An individual or very small group session is often the location for the subtle "break through", the catapult into a new way of sensing, moving, and understanding in the body. If you intend to take classes, an introductory session is recommended and is offered at no charge. Contact psax@frontiernet.net or 585 721 4220.
