Honey Flow Yin/Restorative Yoga–
This class combines restorative and yin yoga to promote deep relaxation and release tension. Restorative yoga uses props to support the body in passive poses, encouraging a state of relaxation. Yin yoga targets deeper connective tissues with long-held poses, fostering a deep sense of calm and flexibility. Together, they help the body and mind unwind, allowing stress to dissolve and facilitating a profound rejuvenation.
Aikido–
This is a very physical martial art designed to disarm an attacker without causing permanent harm. It is considered a pacifist martial art.
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies and philosophy.
Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba’s involvement with the Omoto-Kyo religion.
Based on natural motions of the body, Aikido training develops a calm mind, relaxed body, flexibility, strength without aggression, and a vibrant integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Aikido does not focus on punching or kicking opponents and does not rely on physical size or strength. Its techniques enable practitioners to subdue opponents much stronger than themselves without the necessity of inflicting injury. This is nearly impossible in other martial arts.
Based on natural motions of the body, Aikido training develops a calm mind, relaxed body, flexibility, strength without aggression, and a vibrant integration of body, mind, and spirit.
We practice techniques against a variety of attacks such as kicks, punches, strikes, single-hand or two-hand grabs from the front or rear, chokes, multiple-person attacks, and attacks with weapons. In all of these, we strive to resolve the conflict in a non-lethal, non-disruptive, yet effective manner.
Today, aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques formulated by Ueshiba and most have concern for the well-being of the attacker.
Zen Meditation–
