Yoga Class Descriptions - Little Creek Yoga Studio

Yoga Basics ~ with Sally

This is a great class for not only beginners, but anyone wanting to focus on fundamentals. Sally takes you through the basics with focus on proper alignment(she studied under the Iyengar lineage, for those who know and care what that is) and maintaining a working, functional body to take you through life. Her easy going and encouraging teaching style as well as her decades of experience makes her much loved by her students.

Recovery Dharma

Recovery Dharma is a peer-led community that utilizes Buddhist practices and philosophy as the foundation of our process of recovery from addictions and addictive behaviors, whether caused by substance abuse, process addictions, or any obsessive/habitual pattern that creates suffering. We meet each week to practice meditation, self-inquiry, wisdom, compassion, and community building as tools for recovery and healing. For more information visit the website or our local Facebook group.

Mindfulness Meditation Group

The Mindfulness Meditation Group is open to those with an interest in and some experience with meditation. We open with a 25 minute round of sitting meditation followed by a 5-10 minute round of walking meditation. After this, the leader will do a reading/talk followed by a discussion among the group about what was presented. A donation is requested to help support the cost of the space.

Vedic Chanting ~ with Jarrod

Welcome to the art and practice of Vedic Chanting! Through the traditional method of listening and repeating, students will learn and experience, in a group setting, the chanting of Chapter 1 of the Yoga Sutra’s of Patañjali. Chanting is a powerful tool and timeless practice for positively influencing all dimensions of the human system. A dedicated practice of it contains the ability to penetrate to the core of our being, while training the mind and opening the heart for meditation. The outline of this one-hour session will be 40 minutes of call and response Vedic chanting, followed by 20 minutes of guided or silent meditation.

Once a month, Jarrod will take the class time to articulate and explore the the meaning and philosophy behind the Sutras. The first one of these type classes will be on Jan. 14th and will focus on the transliteration of Yoga Sutra’s 1-15. These lectures will be inspired by Jarrod’s practice, research, and yogic education from his teacher, Gary Krafsow.

This weekly class will be led by Jarrod Roy BA, E-RYT500.
