Advent Yoga Class

Yoga to Celebrate the Advent Season

 “Advent” is from the Latin word Adventus which signifies “coming.” Advent is a season of spiritual preparation, reflection, cheer, and anticipation of the Nativity.

Emily Large, PT, CYT, ERYT-500 (www.livinglargetherapy.com) offers a four week yoga series to celebrate the Advent season.  Expect to experience yoga practices that incorporate each week’s theme of hope, peace, love and joy.  Take time each week to prepare your body, mind and heart for the celebration of Christmas.  

Each class will consist of:

• Asana (postures)
• Pranayama (breathing)
• Relaxation
• Reflection
• Prayer
• Progressive lighting of each candle in the Advent wreath

No previous yoga experience is necessary.  Anyone ages 12 to 112 can participate.  If you can breathe, then you can do this yoga!  Emily has practiced physical therapy since 1994 and yoga therapy in the Viniyoga tradition since 2006.  Viniyoga translates to “yoga with appropriate application” and is easy to learn with a strong emphasis on safety.  Viniyoga can be applied to the Christian tradition as a form of worship and prayer.
