FITCHBURG | GROUND | RESTORE


This class is taught by:

Carla Coleman

Carla arrived in Perennial's Earth studio in 2012 and often says she was “born there”. The transformational practice of breath and body brought her Home to her self again. It has been her joy and pleasure to teach yoga at Perennial since her certification in 2014 from Perennial’s very first teacher training program. She is a yogi born and raised at Perennial Yoga!
 
Her classes are carefully crafted to provide a strong foundation in the basics of yoga asana in a vinyasa flow experience. Weaving yoga philosophy, dharma, poetry, and guidance into opportunities for relaxation, meditation, breath work, and physical movements, the fabric of her classes take form. Wide-ranging musical selections from traditional mantra to classic rock provide rhythm and support for energies to shift, rise, rest, float, and dance. Crystal bowls and koshi bells accompany savasana, bringing you home to yourself once again.
 
Carla’s intention is to introduce new students and reacquaint seasoned practitioners to a simple yet dynamic experience crafted to open the heart, rest the weary, soothe the soul, and energize the spirit in community. In this way we ready ourselves to shine our light into the world.
 
Carla is a lover of dogs, horses, travel, time in nature, in solitude, in friendship in community, and in the sanctuary of Home.
GROUND | RESTORE is a practice designed to calm the mind, balance emotions, and release tension from the body. Restorative poses are often held for a longer duration, allowing the nervous system to switch from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest" mode. Using props - bolsters, blankets, blocks, straps, and the wall - and the body's weight, these supportive poses create space in the body and encourage us to do less and be more present. For students who are new to yoga or have an established practice; who wish to experience the deep healing, grounding, and centering aspects of the practice.

The element of EARTH is stabilizing and calming. Our GROUND Yoga Classes will help you slow down, find nourishment and restoration, and experience self-care. If you are feeling overwhelmed, over-extended or in need of some revitalization, come to a GROUND class.
