SOAK & STRETCH YOGA
In honor of the Spring Equinox, we're proud to announce our new Soak & Stretch Yoga Program.
The Spring Equinox is one of the 4 great solar festivals of the year. Equal parts of light appear during the day and night. Just as the dawn is the time of new light, so the Vernal Equinox is the time of new life.
Beginning Saturday, March 20, 2010, Hatha Yoga classes will be offered 7 days a week with additional Restorative Yoga classes available on Saturday and Sunday.
The new program is intended to combine the traditions of the Springs' sacred and healing waters with the ancient practice of yoga, which calms body and mind.
All classes are $14 per person.

HATHA YOGA
Hatha Yoga or Sun and Moon Yoga is a series of postures combined with the breath designed to improve flexibility, balance, strength, focus, and produces a sense of well being. Benefits of yoga include increased strength and stamina, relief of stress and anxiety, and lower blood pressure. Hatha Yoga classes at Ojo are 80-minutes and available for all levels. Modifications and personal attention will be given to make your yoga experience positive and FUN!
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Restore, renew, and revitalize with this gentle yoga practice. Based in ancient Hatha Yoga traditions and practices, this 80-minute class is for all levels and integrates traditional yoga asanas (poses), relaxation techniques, and pranayama (breathing) exercises. Inhale renewed energy and exhale out tension. This is a slow-paced class designed for stress reduction and is a great “rejuvenator.”
