Kriya to Open the Heart with Breath to Build Compassion & Self Love
Prana is the vital energy sustaining all life. Prana powers the body and the mind with an innate wisdom and intelligence. These breath practices are designed to enliven, balance and stabilize this energy. A dedicated practice elevates us, expands our consciousness, opens us to a state of connection, where we can experience more feelings of kindness, compassion, empathy, and love. We can move away from the constant feelings of stress, anxiety, depression and disconnection from ourselves and others.
This Pranayama Yoga class is a dynamic blend of movement, breath, mantra and meditation. Classes will leave you feeling grounded, energized and deeply connected within. All bodies, all levels are welcome. Bring your mat, props provided. Students will leave with an info sheet to continue your practice at home.

Sivananda Sunday Series with Nickole Every Sunday in June, 5-6:30pm
Join Nickole Thornton Gonzales each Sunday in June, from 5-6:30PM for a Sivananda Yoga Sequence in The Loft (unheated).
A Sivananada yoga sequence is a classical and holistic approach to Hatha Yoga. This 90-minute session consists of a comprehensive series of pranayama and asanas that are performed in a specific sequence. There is an open and closing chant that you can participate in or just let the sounds in the room transcend through you. The poses themselves are designed to bend and rotate the spine, lubricate the joints and lengthen the muscles. The progression of these poses leaves the entire body toned, balanced, supple and properly aligned.
This is an all-levels class; each asana has simplified, intermediate, and advanced variations. When you sign up for the full series you’ll leave being able to incorporate headstand, full wheel, shoulder stand, and crow. If these asanas are in your practice, then Nickole can guide you through the steps for scorpion, variations of wheel, lotus shoulder stand, side crow, crane, mermaid, and many more advanced asanas.
