    Breathwork , Reiki & Yogic Stretching with Strength - for overall wellbeing

    This is not a standard yoga class. And that is a good thing. It is mostly a breathing and meditation class. If you want a regular posing or even restorative class, this is not it. But Rich is truly an expert at the breathing techniques that he teaches. You spend the first half of the class working on stretching your body using tension and body weight, and working on breathing. Breathing technique is in a diaphragmatic style, which can be quite tough to do in the beginning, but if you do your best to keep at it, it ends up being an extremely effective way of releasing tension. After stretching and breathing, the rest of the class is a deep calming form of guided meditation, using music, all done with the headphones provided. This is where the breathing and stretching come together to put you in a state of flow, giving yourself space for a very different and profound meditative state and experience. If you are open-minded and walk in with an open heart, you will have a very special hour, surrounded by people who are also working on bringing their best self. Just go and show up with your real self, no pretense, and you will have a wonderful experience.
