Gentle Yoga
This class is taught by:
Debbie Arnell
After High School, Debbie was offered scholarships to dance at the University of Utah. A year later she transferred to Brigham Young University where she earned a BS. She performed with many different dance companies. Later, while raising her family and still loving to move she taught Aerobics and Spinning classes. Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue in 2000, Debbie underwent a major change, unable to continue her traditional way of moving. She started down the path of healing herself! What she found has changed her For the Better! Over the past 20 years, She's helped many people, including herself find new avenues of living a life filled with activity, health, passion and hope. She discovered for herself that when we continuously look for our flaws, eventually, the body begins to break down. What we create within manifests what is happening without. Yoga became a lifeline. True nutrition that comes from the Earth became a staple habit. Thoughts have become dream building! A few years she passionately studied the art of Teaching Yoga! It opened her mind to new possibilities in the way she processed information! What has followed has left her grinning with an excitement that bubbles up from deep within! She's a wife and mother to 5 adult children. She has 17 grandchildren. She loves moving in almost anyway! (running to run is the exception!). The outdoor calls to her often. She can be found in lakes, on mountain trails, tandem biking with her hubby and in her yard.
This 75 minute class is available to everyone at any skill level. This is a great class for beginners and seasoned yogis looking for a quiet calm space to connect to their inner stillness. It is for people needing healing, restorative, relaxing, and supported poses. It's a change of pace for your mind and body as well as safe for prenatal mamas. In each class you always go at your own pace and listen to your body. Gentle yoga begins with a short meditation to help you engage in conscious breathing. A series of basic yoga postures will follow to warm and strengthen the body. Some classes will include restorative postures. These poses open and relax the muscles through passive stretching. They also facilitate deep relaxation of the mind. All classes will end with savasana, however some gentle classes will offer a longer supported savasana (15-20 minutes). Savasana is a key component of almost every yoga practice for relaxation and integration as it aids in the calming of the body, mind and nervous system.
