New Classes!

Effective April 1st, 2013 Planet Granite Belmont will be adding two new lunchtime classes to the schedule.

Mat Pilates with Donesa on Wednesday, 12pm-12:45pm.
Need a quick lunchtime break; this class is a great core workout. The use of additional equipment such as stability balls, resistance bands and foam rollers are often used to enhance movements in this amazing class.

Yin with Edwina on Tuesday, 12pm – 1pm.

Come unwind, relax and release the stresses of the day! Yin yoga opens up the deep, dense, connective tissues and joints through a series of poses held for a considerable length allowing for a complete and passive release.

Yin Yoga is designed to unwind and de-clutter you body and support your over all well being both physically and mentally. Yin Yoga is a complimentary practice that balances the effects of more active forms of yoga and exercise. Poses are held for longer periods of time than typical and attention is drawn to the connective tissues of your muscles aiding in increased circulation and flexibility.

Instructor and Time changes

We have also made a few instructor changes and time adjustments starting April 1st:

Vinyasa on Thursday evenings is now taught by Natalie Safra.
Core Yoga with Amy jumped to Thursday from 12pm -1pm.
Morning Power with JoAnneh moved to a start time of 7:15am on Wednesday and Friday. Not an early morning person, join us for a great 60 minutes yoga class before work!

Coming in May 2013

Partner Yoga with Emily will be the first Friday of every month starting in May. Experience the unity of partner yoga through flow, flight and fun together. Bring a partner or come by yourself and meet a fellow yogi or yogini. Emily will guide you on an enriching journey as she encourages you to tune into the vibrations of your true self, your partner, your community and your universe. All levels welcome with advanced options for the adventurous at heart.
