I will be offering FREE Yoga Classes for Brain and Nerve Health (neurological conditions) at the Lake Travis Library, Lakeway (512.263.2885). Mark your calendars for the dates: Lake Travis Library, Lakeway - July 9 @ 6 pm, August 13 @ 6 pm AND Lake Travis West Library, Spicewood - August 11 @ 10:30 am. AND MORE TO COME!

This very beneficial yoga program emphasizes how movement with yoga poses increases and improves the connection with the body/mind pathways. Research shows that yoga can help with conditions like Parkinson’s, Cognitive Impairment, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injuries, ADHD, and Anxiety. Yoga further enhances balance, flexibility, strength, blood flow, relaxation and an overall feeling of well-being. This special yoga session will be done using a chair and yoga props (yoga blocks and straps). If you have yoga props, please bring them. Wear comfortable clothing. For more details use the Contact page or text 512.893.3203. See you soon!

An Integrative Therapeutic Approach for Yoga

Yoga restores health, strength, and a feeling of well-being. Adrian’s Yoga is done with gentle movements, rest and breath work as well as guided meditation (to close your sessions). This therapeutic and gentle approach is invaluable for accessing a deep self-care and healing work for teachers and students alike. It is an approach that I use for the yoga classes I teach and my own yoga practice. I have found that my students gain many benefits and awaken to a yoga practice that becomes more than a lifestyle; it becomes an integral part of their well being.

Adrian’s Yoga is for those seeking a more integrative approach and gentle paced yoga that is designed to restore a calm to the body and mind. The challenges we meet in life are in a sense symbolic of a yoga practice: we meet the challenges on the mat focusing our mind on the poses and using the breath to release the tension from the body and the stress from the mind.  My yoga classes end in a guided meditation or body scan to give the student complete access to a calmer body and mind and seal in the good work after the session.

Getting Ready for Your Yoga Practice

Props we typically use in yoga class are: a blanket or bolster or cushions, yoga blocks and strap and a yoga mat. Consider a good yoga mat that gives you cushioning and traction on the floor or rug so it won’t slip. Have your props handy before class so you can grab them when needed. It’s best to wear comfortable clothing and find a quiet place to have your yoga session where you won’t be interrupted for an hour.

For Chair Yoga, a chair without arms is best that is stationary on the floor. For yoga using a mat, have one that has good grip and good cushioning. Find a quiet place where you will not be interrupted during our class.

I will give you an alternative or modified pose as often as I can to help you adapt the pose to your current needs. Please listen to your own body when doing any yoga class and stay with a poses only if your body wants you to – use another pose or pause and come back into a pose whenever you need to. For those with high blood pressure, it’s best to keep your head elevated above or at waist level when doing inversions or bending forward/backward.

Please consult your health practitioner whenever beginning any new fitness class such as a yoga practice or any fitness program.

For online classes, if there are technical problems with your internet service or computer or other device such that you cannot hear and/or see me teaching the class or technical problems are on my end, please be assured that you can make the class up at a later time (eventually recorded classes will be available). I will make every effort to provide a full visual and clear audio during our classes online. If you have a question or immediate concern, please let me know before class begins. Always do a volume and visual check once on Zoom to make sure you will get the full live stream of class.

More About Adrian’s Yoga Classes

• You will be hearing my verbal cues to help you transition into and out of a pose or from one pose to another. Take your time with your yoga practice. I will cue you periodically and guide you to check in with your breath and to bring the mind back into the experience and to be present. If you are new to yoga class or have not done a yoga practice for a while, remember that real presence and awareness happens when you ‘go with the flow’ of the whole experience.  I will encourage you to explore the poses on your own and if you find a pose too challenging, please do another pose that you are familiar with and feel confident about doing – or take a pause and rejoin the pose when you are ready or do a pose that works for you. If you have signed up for Chair Yoga or Yoga for Brain and Nerve Health, your class will be done while in a chair.

• In the beginning of each class and the end of each class, I always do a series of gentle stretches to help relax our bodies for the poses and help our bodies release any tension from doing the poses. 

• About breathing -- do it! I will cue the class about inhaling as we go into a pose and exhaling as we come out of a pose. Breathe naturally whenever you need to rather than get caught up with when to inhale or exhale with poses. It’s best to simply breathe naturally until you get use to the poses rather than lose your focus on what you are doing.

• The last 6 minutes I lead my yoga students in a guided meditation body scan with soft music or silence in the background. You will get verbal cues to help you release stress and tension in the body and the last few minutes you will rest quietly until the meditation or Savasana ends. This guided meditation is done in a supine position or chair and typically ends our yoga practice as it helps to gradually relax one body-part at a time, one muscle at a time and release thoughts or quiet the mind.

Together we can build a support system, design a yoga routine (consistency), with expert guidance and proven health results using therapeutic yoga and stretching. I will design a personal Yoga Program that is tailor made for you and will get you moving (gently) and yes, help you to once again touch your toes without pain and breathe deeply and restoratively in your body.
