Hatha yoga is a practice that combines physical movements and postures with breathing techniques, with a focus on a healthy physical body and a sound, calm mind. All of the yoga classes offered at Roots and Wings are based on the Hatha Yoga practice, including Svaroopa Yoga, Kripalu Yoga, and Synergy Yoga. Some teachers prefer to use the name of the specific style of Hatha yoga that they teach, and others prefer to use the original name of Hatha yoga as their description.
Therapeutic Yoga

8:00—9:00 am |
(Remote, zoom classes, + a 15 min. free assessment)
Therapeutic yoga gives you the opportunity to create more ease in your body and mind by exploring and integrating components of mindful movement, breathwork and meditation. Discover how to release compensation patterns in your body by moving more freely with functional movement and breath. Everyone feels some level of stress in the body and mind. With therapeutic yoga, you can cultivate greater self-awareness and appreciation for all of you. Building on the mind-body connection, you will begin to uncover what you need physically and mentally to be more stable, balanced and clear in your mind and body.
Also, sign up for a Free 15-minute online consultation of your functional movement to assess how you move and compensate in your body. Before our session, you will complete a brief questionnaire about your areas of concern. During our online session, we will do some simple body movements and discuss ways to adjust your practice to move with more ease. Your free 15-minute session will be a great addition to the ongoing therapeutic yoga class.

Quiet your mind. Feel your body open in ways it is truly able. Reconnect to who you are on a deep spiritual level.
Explore yoga in a way that takes you back to the fundamentals of life. As a teacher, I guide this unfolding in each class, listening to and trusting what is needed in each moment. Experience what it feels like to connect with a greater energy flow as you learn how to be in body, mind and a felt sense of spirit.
Stretch and strengthen your body, learn breathing techniques, feel how yoga can uplift you. Occasionally we get moved to dance, often I read poetry or spiritual quotes. In responding to the now, the classes are fresh. Some classes are slow and meditative, others are energetic and strength building. The classes unfold like life unfolds. The yoga learning restores and renews.
Each week this class unfolds differently. We come together and drop into the moment.

There's plenty of time in this 1.5 hr class...time to help us all unwind from the stresses of the week.
This is a class to help us let go of the accumulated tensions in our bodies. It's a class to
help us stretch and strengthen the body, yes. But, also to open us to the spiritual dimension of ourselves. The postures not only work on our bodies...but they open up our
energy pathways. And when our energy pathways begin to flow again, we feel the depth of ourselves. A return to our truth.
Sometimes we dance. In other classes listen to poetry or spiritual quotes. Practice different breathing techniques to move beyond the chattering mind...and always with the purpose to uplift.
In each class there is time for individual, self-led practice so that everybody can learn to connect with and honor their
inner teacher. Finally we have an extended savassana, 15-20 minutes of nurturing relaxation with guided meditation and deepening silence.
