Yoga
We offer a variety of Yoga classes including: Kripalu Yoga, Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) and Laughter Yoga. Private yoga instruction is also available for those who would prefer individualized attention.
Kripalu Yoga
The Benson-Henry Institute offers daytime and early evening yoga sessions modeled after the Kripalu tradition. You will learn various yoga techniques to relax the body and quiet the mind, including breath awareness, yoga postures and deep relaxation. The overall experience reduces chronic stress and deepens personal awareness. Classes are appropriate for beginners and those who have an ongoing yoga practice. No previous yoga experience is required, just a willingness to relax. All abilities are welcome.
Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep)
One Session Class
Treat yourself to an hour of deep relaxation. Following the principals of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep), you will be guided to relax your body, quiet your mind and set a positive intention for the coming days. Benefits of yoga nidra include: improved sleep, an overall sense of well-being, and an enhanced sense of control over stress. No previous yoga experience is required, just a willingness to relax. All abilities are welcome.
Laughter Yoga
One Session Class
Laughter Yoga combines laughter exercises with relaxing yogic breathing techniques to relieve stress, enhance your mood and improve your health.
