Hi everyone, In this unsafe times, I decided to offer my group classes and Privates online until this nightmare is over and we are safe again. If you want to join a class, please send an email to katrin@katrineliayoga.com ahead of time so that the dial-in information can be send to you.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU START THE ONLINE YOGA SESSION:

Before joining the class YOU need to download the Zoom Meeting App. on your device. It doesn’t need to be an apple device, however it seems for the yoga online presentation a laptop or computer (bigger screen) is better than a smart phone. If the system ask you for Meeting ID and/or Password, please use the information that was emailed to you.

It would be good if you could join the class 10 minutes before the session starts in case there are questions for set up, sound etc. Also have your practice space set up before the class.  For all my classes it is recommended to have a mat, 2 same size blocks, 1 strap (8 feet length for normal body size, 10 feet for taller students), 2 blankets. If you don’t have yoga props and you would like to purchase some, please contact me via email further information. 

Costs & Payment: All the online group classes are 60min. long (often a bit longer). Each class will cost  $15. If an extra person joins the session, please let me know and I add a charge of $15. For the payment you can send a check to Katrin Elia Yoga, 158 Montgomery Ave., Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004 or use Venmo (using Katrin Elia, my email: katrinelia13@yahoo.com or phone number).  If you have a class card, yes, you can use it up. 

So, let’s make this online yoga practice work. It is not forever! Thank you all for your support of the Studio during these times and in general. We will beat this virus and Yoga is a great tool to keep the body & mind balanced and certain poses are even super immune booster in itself.  

STAY HEALTHY – DO YOGA WITH ME (my mantra).

In this workshop, we will practice together Restorative Yoga poses that  are designed to boost the immunity of your system as a prevention for COVID 19 or any other virus that surrounds us. In this style of yoga  we use several props such as blankets, blocks, yoga eggs, and bolsters. Since this is an online session see what you can find in your home in terms of props (blankets, several pillows and 2 yoga blocks would be great).

Hormone Yoga Therapy (HYT), invented by Dinah Rodrigues, is a holistic form of yoga that offers a natural alternative approach. Its focus is to reactivate the hormone production through a designed sequence of yoga postures (asana), specific breathing exercises (pranayama), Tibetan energy technique, and yoga nidra (visualization during meditation). Disagreeable Symptoms during menopause such as hot flashes, insomnia, depression, headache, tiredness, hair loss, migraine, emotional instability, and many others are indicators that the hormone level in a woman’s body is low and needs to be increased. Results show as well that HYT also helps in preventing osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and assists in infertility, peri-menopausal symptoms, stress, and panic symptoms. A short break will be included in this four hour practice.

For more information or for sign up, please contact katrin@katrineliayoga.com.

Join Adina Ghen for this unique workshop in which she teaches the “Ball Work Method”. This body mind ball work method with its very special isolated movements of body parts encourages breathing, focus, and body awareness.  The gravity of your own body weight on a ball or two combined with the focus on a certain location in your body relieves stress, muscle aches and pain. It also brings deep relaxation to body and mind. This technique is a self-healing practice, a self-help aide that releases the fascia that is wrap tightly around our muscles. During this workshop we will use different sizes of balls. 

Adina is a certified yoga teacher for over 20 years. She is also a certified Iyengar yoga teacher for 15 years. She studied as well with Ellen Saltonstall in New York City who is the author of “The Body Mind Ball Work Method.” Adina was introduced into ball work in 2015, and presently studies with Ellen through her intense workshops/classes on a regular basis.

This session was designed for students who are interested in learning about the basics of meditation. But now with this COVID-19 in our backyards, we should learn and practice meditation on a regular basis even more so as a prevention since it is proven that a regular practice helps to strengthen the immune function. Besides learning about the “proper” sitting position in this practice (which is very important so that the mind can rest and is not getting distracted by a bad sitting posture), we will talk about physical and mental benefits of this ancient practice. Together, we will practice several different meditation techniques/ styles to see which one works best for you. No meditation background is needed.
