oin Michael for this deeply nourishing practice that will provide you with the guidance and tools you need to learn how to release tension and regain space and ease.

We will begin sitting in chairs addressing the tight muscles in the upper arms and shoulders with gentle exercises using stretch bands.

Next moving to the wall introducing you to self massage using tune up balls on the upper back, shoulder blades and upper arms.

Now that we are relaxed and things are beginning to move, we go to the mat and the foam roller for some lovely healing for the neck and shoulders.

Yoga Challenge

All I can say is “what a week!!!” I did all the classes except Tuesday morning when I had to go for service appointment for my car. Here are some of my thoughts:
- The class I look forward to the most and I find it so entertaining: “Yoga on the ball”
- The class I don’t want to miss: “Body rolling”
- The class that I started to love: “Qigong” (especially in the evening)
- The class that was a nice surprise and I like it (unfortunately I missed it on Tuesday): “Stretch band yoga”
- The class that is a classic and one should always attend: “Restore and align”
- The class that is a nice add on: “Hatha yoga”
- The class that is new and still have to figure out: “Chill yoga” (love different poses like “pigeon” etc.), and finally
- New kid on the block “Standing yoga” (enjoyable, but hard to do in the evening after Yoga on the ball).

I think I’ve got them all…
And as you said, at each class I discover something new, some better position, new angle, new muscles… When choosing which class to attend it comes down to my availability at a specific time of the day. I plan on playing golf and
sailing when allowed, summer is so short.

I think the attendance at classes is outstanding, self isolation is working well…
Thank you so much for helping me to discover world of yoga, I think I learnt last week more than ever!!!!

Innovative

Michael brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his yoga classes. He is an excellent teacher. His ability to adapt his teaching to the variety of needs presented by his students, building on their strengths and helping them with their weaknesses keep his classes interesting and challenging.

After attending his classes for over ten years, I'm always impressed with the variety of poses he presents in every class.

His sense of humor and his relaxed easy manner added to the enjoyment of his classes.

It's about You

We've come to know, love an respect you as our yoga instructor and we're going to miss you terribly. We've vowed to continue with Yoga. However our challenge will be to recognize and appreciate the gifts of a different instructor. Your patience, gentleness, understanding ,good humor, dedication, knowledge,caring and expertise make you a hard act to follow.

Restorative yoga

Restorative yoga relies on passive poses using blocks and bolsters for support. If you have lower back/shoulder pains or fatigue, this is a fruitful therapy to explore.

Restorative yoga targets lower back and shoulder pains with passive poses using blocks and bolsters for support. If you're experiencing fatigue due to adrenal or thyroid problems, restorative yoga is also beneficial.

Yoga ball

This class incorporates yoga postures together with the strengthening benefits of the ball. Not only is it a great core workout but it also enables you to stabilize and work deeper layers of muscle. Most of these muscles are underused, resulting in the most common injuries of the knee, ankle, shoulder or back. Using the support of the ball also makes inverted poses and back bends more accessible. This class is appropriate for all levels of practice.
