Monthly Series

Restore Yourself with Restorative Yoga - online & in-studio

Wednesday, July 31, 6:30 - 7:30pm
online: $20
in-studio: $25

Join me of an evening class of relaxation, healing, and rejuvenation. We will use several yoga props such as blankets, yoga blocks, bolster, pillows, etc. to set up the practiced yoga poses so that they become comfortable. Unlike more vigorous forms of yoga, this practice involves holding poses for extended periods, allowing the body to enter a state of deep relaxation and healing. Some of the key benefits are:

  • Stress Relief: By promoting relaxation, Restorative Yoga helps reduce stress and anxiety levels.

  • Improved Sleep: The deep relaxation techniques used can improve sleep quality.

  • Enhanced Flexibility: Gentle stretching over time can increase flexibility without straining the muscles.

  • Mental Clarity: This practice encourages mindfulness and mental clarity.

  • Physical Healing: It can aid in recovery from illness or injury by promoting overall well-being and balance in the body.

This is an all levels class. Pre-registration for this session is required: katrinelia13@yahoo.com

Group Online Classes - How does it work? (read more)

Sunday, January 1 - Sunday, December 31, check schedule
$20

Since March 2020, the studio offers its group yoga classes as well in an online format. If you are interested to join a class, please send an email to katrinelia13@yahoo.com to receive the dial-in information or for further questions. Please read the following information below. 

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 that a laptop or computer (bigger screen) is better than a smart phone for the presentation of the class. If the system ask you for Meeting ID and/or Password, please use the information that was emailed to you or click on the link in the invite. 

It would be good if you could join the class 5 minutes before the session starts, in case there are questions in regard of the set up, audio, adjustment of your screen, etc. Also please have your practice space prepared before the class. The following yoga props are recommended for yoga online classes at Katrin Elia Yoga: a yoga mat, 2 same size yoga blocks, 1 strap and 2 blankets. For your first class, alternatives are ok. If you don’t have yoga props and you would like to purchase some, please contact the studio via email for further information. 

Costs & Payment: All the online group classes are 60 minutes long (often a bit longer). Each class costs $20 per person. If an extra person joins your session, please let me know. Venmo (using the katrin-elia account) is recommended for class payment if you are a new student. Please send the payment before the class.
