Come out and dive a little deeper into your practice with this Yurt Yoga class that will offer a bit more vigor. This weekly offering will take the physical poses, or asanas, a bit deeper as you are reminded of your own strength and patience. Melissa will take you through an exploration towards a peak pose, warming up your mind and body, exploring different ways to access more challenging poses, followed by time to cool down and rest. This class will be filled with modifications welcoming all yogis to join! With emphasis on keeping yoga accessible for every body, Melissa will safely guide you through a yoga practice as you reunite with your breath and welcome mindful movements into your body, quieting your mind and finding your way into the present moment.

Find your way to soften and release into relaxation as Melissa leads you through a gentle and restorative yoga practice. This class focuses on gentle yoga poses and sinking into restorative and supported poses for extended periods, allowing the body to release tension and deeply relax. Using props for support, you'll gently open and stretch, encouraging a sense of calm and balance. Perfect for all levels, this practice promotes rejuvenation and stress relief.

We will dive into the roots of classic hatha raja yoga, incorporating physical postures, meditation, breathwork, deep relaxation and chanting into each class. This class is inspired by Gena's time in New York City studying with yoga master, Sri Dharma Mittra. Dharma opened the first independent yoga studio in the US in 1975 and his teachings are centered around ahimsa, or non-harming. Class will be heart centered and devotional in practice. All levels welcome!

A little more about Gena;

Gena Rockwell has been teaching yoga since 2009. She received her 200 hour teaching certification at Asheville Yoga Center in Asheville, NC, Ayurvedic Yoga Certification from the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, Pa and 500 hour Dharma Yoga certification from the Dharma Yoga center in New York City. Gena also has training in yin yoga and therapeutic yoga. Gena taught at Harmony Healing Arts Center in Shepherdstown for 7 years before opening her own studio, Shakti Yoga and Arts Center in 2016. In 2018 she felt called to pursue her passion for the performing arts and moved to Austin, TX where she played music and danced professionally. The birth of her child brought her back to WV in 2023. She couldn't be happier to be reconnected with the healing arts community in her hometown. Gena is also a massage therapist, adult ballet teacher and recently completed a masters degree program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Prescott College. For fun, Gena likes to dance, cook fun meals with her husband, throw the ball for her wild Texas Heeler pup and snuggle with her sweet little boy, Brian.
