Yoga at Balancing Arts Studio, working

collaboratively with NSAALocated in the beautiful historic

Arts Mill Gallery on the river.Instructor: Sheri M. Bestor, ERYT

For the class schedule, please visit: www.balancingartsstudio.com

What we offer at our studioYou are warmly invited to experience the yoga at Balancing Arts Studio. It is an infusion

of classical eastern style Hatha with an approach that comes from philosophies and experiences in nature and other modalities that I have come to know. Unifying mind,

body and spirit, an intention is offered to nurture awareness during our time together in the studio. I hope that your own unique practice will strengthen as you lose all definitions

of yoga and embrace the discovery and expression of your creativity, on your path of living your light.

Our classic class- Yoganic Arts (offering both private and group)

This practice is designed to unify the body, mind and spirit by building strength, balance and flexibility on a new level; toning the body, focusing the mind, nurturing creativity, and recharging the spirit. Letting go of definitions and expectations of a certain style

of yoga, our classes are organic, giving you the freedom to have new experiences each time you come to the mat, while embracing the many aspects of your Self. Breathe, discover and express what yoga means to you on your path of living your light. I will teach from and integrate into class, my experiences and studies in: somatics, hatha, nada, (sound) yoga, nidra yoga, thai yoga, reiki, eastern tradition, modern scientific

research, and nature. All experience levels are welcomed and honored as modifications will be presented. Students are guided to practice mindfully and within his/her

capacity. “To perform every action artfully is yoga.“ Swami Kripalu.

Soma-Nidra-Nada-Meditation ClassA way to “work in” vs. work out.

Join others who want to develop or advance a meditation practice in this group setting. We’ll begin with somatics, a gentle form of yoga done primarily in a reclined position that promotes sensory awareness and freedom of movement and prepares the Self for further inner work. We’ll then experience Yoga Nidra, an ancient practice from the yoga tradition.

Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is an effortless state of being, experienced in a reclined position, that invites complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. With its many profound benefits, we will use it to further deepen our practice. Class will include Nada

yoga, using crystal singing bowls, gong baths and other sound/music designed to unify. Seated breathing exercises and an extended session of meditation conclude the class.

This class is designed for those interested in developing their creativity, personal insights, unification in mind body and breath, and spiritual transformation.

Somatics “Somatics is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that connects body sciences and

movement to help each person understand more about his or her body/mind and move toward greater integration.” This gentle movement modality, focused on releasing habitual muscle contraction, is designed to foster an internal sensory awareness to re-

educate the body, releasing tension and promoting freedom of movement.

Nada YogaThis private or semi-private session is based on the science and art of inner

transformation through tone and sound. Designed to unify through sound, a variety of techniques, instruments and music are used including: gong baths, crystal singing bowls,

sound therapy music, tuning forks, etc.

Teen Yoga (Not currently offered-if you have a small group of teens interested, call to schedule your

own session) Teens are always welcome at any group class. Cost for teens: $3 per class

Focusing on developing flexibility, strength and balance, this class is perfect for all teens, especially those participating in a sport or those interested in relieving stress and gaining

flexibility. In a down to earth atmosphere, we’ll move through asanas, breathe, focus, balance, relax and have fun.

Yoga RhythmA one hour “yoga dance” class inspired by invigorating and soothing music, with a

sequence of longer holds, strength building, stretching, balancing work and relaxation. Meditation, singing bowls and gong sounds conclude the class. Based on the science of sound and music and the ancient practice of yoga. No dance experience necessary!

“The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.” -BKS Iyengar

Firefly YogaThis Preschool Parent Yoga class is a wonderful way to spend quality time with your child.

We will joyfully explore the art of yoga through story, music, and movement. Nurturing mind, body and the creative spirit, the young and young at heart will enjoy these special

moments together.

Private Reiki SessionsReiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique from Japan that can also promote

healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us through a “laying of the hands.” Reiki treats the whole person leaving them feeling

relaxed, peaceful, secure and with a feeling of well being.

Group Thai-Yoga ClassExperience this special form of yoga that infuses restorative yoga poses and breathing

with Thai yoga techniques. Designed to improve posture, flexibility, digestion and circulation, this restorative class will reduce both physical and emotional tension while working to remove blocked energy and provide a new found freedom in mind, body

and breath. With the benefit of two qualified instructors during one class, you will move into asanas and then receive hands-on adjustments that feel as relaxing as a massage. Craniosacral and Reiki therapies will be offered during the class to give you the feeling

of complete relaxation. Instructors: Julie Prochnow (Cyga Grafton,) and Sheri Bestor (Balancing Arts Studio)

RELAX and RESTORETaught by Teresa Morrison

Taking time to allow the body/mind to relax is essential to living well. This class is designed to counter the effects of daily stress through the use of breath, gentle

movement and poses supported by a variety of props. Benefits of restorative postures include increased energy, better digestion, improved sleep and a calmer mind. Give

yourself the gift of time to restore, recharge and rediscover your body and your spirit. Wear comfortable clothes that allow freedom to move and relax. Appropriate for all

levels. No prior yoga experience necessary.
