Ongoing Weekly Class Descriptions:
Iyengar Yoga *All new students *MUST* contact AnnaRainYoga@gmail.com prior to coming to class. Iyengar yoga is characterized by dynamic, precise instruction and careful attention to the individual needs of each student. The practice of asana (poses) teaches control of the body. That control allows us to achieve greater sensitivity, awareness, and focus within ourselves, which we then use in further study of yoga (control of the breath; concentration; meditation). Classes offered are as follows: Level I - explores the basic categories of poses Level II - for students who have extensive Iyengar experience and a dedicated home practice. 60+ and Friends is open to all students who appreciate more deliberate guidance Yoga Therapy sessions (one-on-one private sessions) on appointment and by request REGISTER TODAY with Anna Rain AnnaRainYoga@gmail.com Fitness Over 40 - 6pm Wednesdays Low impact Cardio, Simple Strength Training, Gentle Stretching These elements are essential for 40-something women looking for gentle, heart-strengthening workouts that are dynamic and fun, gentle on the joints, and help them look and feel good and soar.

Mycoremediation and Forest Inoculation:
In the Level 1 classes, Foragers are exposed to a wide variety of plants and skills, and began to build the concept of reciprocity. In Level 2, we take those lessons and put them into action by designing and stewarding a Foragers Patch that will ground us in our ecosystem and the complex relationships within it. This class will involve installing a mushroom based installation into the local creek to help filter water which flows downstream. We will also be installing a wood chip based Wine Cap bed which will also help filter incoming water.
