Kids Yoga Classes in Morningside Gardens are about to start!

Hi!!

Kids yoga in Morningside Gardens is about to start!  These classes are for 4-7 years old.
It will take place Fridays 4:00-4:45 pm in 80 80 Lasalle St., Thurgood Marshall Room. (Between Broadway and Amsterdam)

The classes have a strong emphasis on music as a way to make yoga really fun. Songs are choreographed with yoga poses.  Children jump like rocket ships, stand like trees, fly like butterflies and swim like fish, whales and sharks. The classes incorporate individual, partner and group poses and games as well as breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation.

Kids yoga has numerous benefits. On the physical level, it develops coordination, strength, flexibility and balance. But it can also contribute to improved focus, concentration, ability to stay calm and relaxed and it can develop imaginative play, self-esteem and body awareness.


Tuition: $150 for the 10 weeks ($100 for second child). Pay by Check (Sonia Pereira) or cash.
Dates: Classes start on Friday September 20th and run for 10 weeks. First class is free. (Sept. 27th; Oct., 4,11,18, 25;  Nov. 1, 8, 15, 22,29)

Email: magasonia@yahoo.com to register for the trial class to ensure your spot (also let me know if you will need a yoga mat).

Gentle Yoga at Morningside Gardens June and July (except June 23)

During June and July:


I am teaching Gentle yoga classes 10-11am (by donation).  
These are gentle enough yoga classes for those who want to get back to exercising. Modifications are offered for those who already have a regular practice to feel they get a workout out of the class. But whatever the fitness level, the goal is for everyone to leave feeling lighter, relaxed, stronger and inspired.
Came and join me in starting your weekends with the right yogic foot!

Adress: 80 LaSalle st., Thurgood Marshall room (ground floor, back of the building).
(LaSalle st. is between 123rd and 125th streets, between Broadway and Amsterdam Av.) 

Namaste,

Sonia

PS: PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO CLASS ON JUNE 23.

Gentle Yoga at Trinity Church - Fridays 11am

I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching yoga on Fridays at Trinity Lutheran church at 11-12:15pm starting March 30th. The address is: 164 W100th st. and the church is very close to Amsterdam Av.

I will not charge for the classes. However, if you would like to offer a donation, that is welcome.

As I complete the last hours of my 200 hour teacher training I am very excited to share what I have learnt and to do it for a community I care so much about!

My intention is to offer a class that is gentle enough for those who want to get back to exercising again. I will offer modifications so that if you have a regular yoga practice you can feel you get workout out of it. But whatever your physical activity level, I hope you leave each class feeling lighter, relaxed, stronger and inspired.

I will also offer suggestions for students to develop their home practice.

Hope to see you there!!

Namaste!

Sonia

After the first weekend of my 200 hour training with 3 Sisters Yoga

I finished the first of the 7 weekends of my 200 hour yoga training today. My body feels great. My spirit fells great. My nervous system feels great. The physical exercises, the meditation and the breathing exercises do change the way I am able to stay calm. That is no small feat with the two adorable but high energy children I have. This may be just what I needed in my own life, my own practice, perhaps even my own marriage, since my husband will be my primary student! Check my blog: inspirationforchange.org for more…
