The Holiday Season is a time to rejoice and spend time with family and friends. Unfortunately, with the holidays comes stress! Attend a special 2 hour Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra class and feel energized and ready to handle what this wonderful time of the year has to offer. It is believed that Yoga Nidra can be equivalent to 4 hours of sleep, however, the true nature of Yoga Nirda goes well beyond deep relaxation.

What is Yoga Nidra?

Yoga Nidra means yogic sleep. The yoga nidra practice has three distinct aspects – the first of them being a systematic method of inducing complete mental, physical and emotional relaxation while maintaining awareness at deeper levels. The second aspect is that the practice of yoga nidra is a tool used to manifest desires (mental, material or spiritual). This is accomplished through the implanting of an affirmation or sankalpa into the sub conscious mind which controls our existence and how we move through the world. The last aspect of yoga nidra is in understanding that it is a practice that helps us find liberation or moksha in Sanskrit.

Come join me for a deeply relaxing class where you can leave that stressful life behind or put it on hold temporarily. The Nidra session will start with a Restorative Yoga practice to prepare your body for this deep, awakened relaxation. Please note that this is a 2 hour session that includes a 45 minute Nidra practice.

All evening classes at PGSF have been cancelled for 11/23.  The only yoga class we will have tomorrow is the noon class.

We are then closed Thanksgiving day, and classes resume as scheduled on Friday, November 25th.

Join Lowen Cattolico, PT, OCS (and abs&core instructor at PGSF!) on Wednesday, October 19th from 7-7:30pm @ PG Belmont for an interactive exercise talk and learn how to train your body to support your climbing, work, and other activities.  Whether you are a runner, swimmer, yogi, or dedicated climber, core training incorporates your trunk, hips, and shoulders to maximize full body strength, flexibility, coordination, and prevent injuries.  Come with your specific questions regarding activities and injuries.

Lowen specializes in human movement and rehabilitation as an orthopedic physical therapist at San Mateo Sport and Spine Physical Therapy.  She enjoys working wtih athletes of all ages and abilities and strives to help others achieve their personal goals.

Check out our new classes starting this week at Planet Granite Sunnyvale!

Calling all new students and those looking to fine tune their asana’s and breath work. Please join us for this workshop to become comfortable doing basic yoga poses found in all our PG yoga classes.  There will be time for questions as we breakdown each asana (pose) and slowly move between them. The slower pace of this workshop allows you to take your time and learn the correct way to enter, be in, and exit a pose safely. 

 Cost: $30 members, $40 non-members

When: October 9th at PG Belmont from 1:30-3:30pm

Please email Emily Galvin to reserve your spot and make payment: emily.galvin555@gmail.com

 Join Diana Estey for a peaceful, rejuvenating, candelight Restorative Yoga Class. 

Restoratives are meditative poses in which the body is supported with props and held for extended periods of time.  From this still place, the body is more able to access its natural ability to cleanse, heal, rest, sleep, grow, and build immunities.

Restorative Yoga is open to all levels of students and is an excellent compliment to our active lifestyles.  Whether you are looking to gear up for an active weekend and/or wind down after a long week, this class is for you!
