Hatha yoga is the physical practice of using our bodies to focus our awareness. This is what comes to mind when most people think of yoga--but it's not the only type.
Karma yoga is the spiritual practice of serving others in a spirit of humility and offering. Sometimes it's known as selfless action, and it's valued in many spiritual traditions. But just like the physical kind of yoga, it makes you feel great!
Our Spring Day of Yoga will integrate both of these types of yoga for a double dose of goodness:)
I have some exciting news! People have donated some amazing prizes for those of you who plan to collect sponsors for participating in classes. I'll have more information, as well as sponsorship forms, this weekend so you can get started right away. Our Spring Day of Yoga is just one month away!
This all-day yoga event is to support Lindsay Schonfelder's trip to Tajikistan with Habitat for Humanity in June 2008. Email springyoga@gmail.com for more information.

Progressive muscle relaxation is a two-step process in which you systematically tense and relax different muscle groups in the body. With regular practice, it gives you an intimate familiarity with what tension—as well as complete relaxation—feels like in different parts of your body. This can help you react to the first signs of the muscular tension that accompanies stress. And as your body relaxes, so will your mind.
Progressive muscle relaxation can be combined with deep breathing for additional stress relief.
