"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." - Joseph Campbell
In order to do something, you have to first believe that you can do it! Once you believe in yourself, so many doors will open up for you. Take that first step today by doing something outside your comfort zone, like a new Beginners Yoga Class, a new Friday Night Circuit, Insanity Live or a Kettlebell class! A lot of fun is happening here at MSP this Summer, come join us!
We believe in you and we're here to help you achieve your goals!

108 Summer Solstice Celebration
|
|
Sunday, June 21 
Celebrate the Summer Solstice by practicing 108 Sun Salutations with Jen Stratakis.
The notion of a salutation to the sun is to pay your respects and surrender to the universe." This is a metaphor to let go physically. The mind follows the actions of the body; in short, it is a moving meditation.
As a practice, the tradition of 108 Sun Salutations is healing and energizing. The flow of poses will be accompanied by the traditional mantras for this classical series. Participants do NOT need to complete every sun salutation. Pausing to rest is acceptable and encouraged. Simply stay in the spirit of the practice, with the option of resting in Mountain Pose or Child's Pose. (No prior yoga experience required!)
Please bring a mat, a full bottle of water, and a hand towel to this practice.
We look forward to seeing you.

New 4 Week Beginners Yoga Series
|
|
Starts, Wednesday August 5
Meets at 7:30 - 8:30pm
Every Wednesday for 4 Weeks
New to yoga? This a great way to start your yoga practice! This 4-week series teaches brand new beginners yoga fundamentals and provides students with the guidance they need to develop a safe and beneficial yoga practice. In this series, students will receive individual attention while learning basic yoga postures, yogic breathing, and relaxation techniques. Individuals will also be introduced to yoga philosophy and meditation. Different from other beginner classes, the Beginner Series is taught in a sequential manner which provides an ideal environment for learning. Perfect for people who like to learn sequentially with the same teacher in a small group.
This Beginner Series at Movement Studio will teach you how to move safely into and out of poses, as well as how to modify the poses for your body. You will gain a basic understanding of the language of the practice and - most importantly - you will learn to control your actions and to steady your body, your breath and your mind.
Please arrive early to start each class promptly and to discuss existing conditions with your teacher.
If you miss a class you can take it the next time it is offered. Bring a friend. This will help you with your journey into yoga.
