3 consecutive Sundays: January 14th, 21st and 28th
2 pm to 330 pm
Starting a yoga practice may feel intimidating with the strange names of poses, coordinating breath and movement, and feeling like others know more than you...but here at Chi-Town Shakti, we welcome newbies to the practice with our In-Person, In-Studio Introduction to Yoga Series!
Join us for 3 consecutive weeks to learn how yoga is about MUCH more than just stretching!
In this workshop-style class, we will explain the physical postures to help you understand your own alignment, work with understanding and experiencing how the breath moves in the body, and begin to touch on some simple meditation techniques to help calm the thought waves of the mind.
As students, you are encouraged to ask questions, take notes and/or experiment with different variations of a posture to help support and nourish your practice! We believe yoga is for everyone. Each person's expression and experience of each yoga posture is unique and we celebrate this diversity. Yoga is truly about connecting within, embodying breath and movement and feeling into one's own unique expression through practice.
Beginners are welcome to join as well as those looking for a refresher or a workshop-style class where alignment and basic yogic concepts are discussed in more detail. We hope you will leave this class feeling confident and ready to attend a group yoga class while also beginning to explore and experience how yoga uniquely supports YOU.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Pamela Diaz
Pam was introduced to yoga in 2008 and was quickly drawn in by the physical and energetic benefits after just a few classes. She loves that yoga is a very individual practice and the idea that wherever you are in your practice is exactly where you are meant to be. She recently completed her 200-Hour Certification at Chi-Town Shakti and is appreciative of the kind, supportive community here.
Off the mat, Pam works full time in the Environmental Sustainability field and enjoys running, stand up paddle boarding, and spending quality time with friends and family.
