Yoga Conditioning

Sri Yoga Center‘s Yoga Conditioning class is designed to condition your body and mind for the deeper aspects of yoga. I know I was tired and sweaty after the first class. In her classes, Melissa usually places a lot of emphasis on the core so I wasn’t surprised that there was plenty of core [...]

Sri Summer Schedule

I’m excited about the summer schedule at Sri Yoga Center. Michael and Melissa have added some new classes and are offering others more often. I’ll be able to attend a class six days a week and do something different each time. Some days I’ll have to decide which class to attend. Having choices is [...]

Mike Cohen Kirtan

This evening I attended my first Kirtan. Michael and Melissa at Sri Yoga Center hosted Mike Cohen and Friends. It was a new and different experience for me and I enjoyed it very much. I particularly enjoyed the rhythms, tonality, and vibrations of the music. Myself, I’m not much of a chanter but I’ll [...]

Opening up

Recently I was thinking about the apparent lack of progress in my yoga practice despite attending four or five classes a week. I felt that I was less supple, less capable of holding certain poses and experiencing more discomfort in some poses. There also seemed to be a lack of progress in calming my [...]

Home Practice (04-05-10)

Abi has really been enjoying the kids’ yoga class at Sri Yoga Center. It’s becoming out “night out.”. She’s disappointed that April 8th class has been canceled because Chris is away on spring break but I’m thinking about taking her with me to the Slow Flow Stretch class upstairs. She can follow along and [...]

Slow Flow

Abi had been on me for quite a while to take her with me to a yoga class. When I learned that Sri Yoga Center was going to offer kids’ classes I made plans to take her. The first class was this evening and she enjoyed it and she’s informed me that she intends [...]

Climb by Kristin Luna Ray

I love having this song playing in the background during Savasana. I find it very calming and inspiring. I’ve attended two of the Bhakti Vinyasa Project performances at Sri Yoga Center in Dayton and I’m looking forward to the one coming up in [...]

Bryan Kest Power Yoga

The Bryan Kest Power Yoga Master Class at the Sri Yoga Center was simply awesome. There was a lot of yoga packed into three-plus hours. The large studio upstairs was packed to capacity with nearly every square foot of floor space covered by a yoga mat. I’m guessing the distance between mats was, at [...]

Power Yoga Prelude

The Bryan Kest Power Yoga class at Sri Yoga Center is tomorrow evening and I’ve been looking forward to it for months. I’ve been signed up for it since December. Tonight I thought it might be a good idea to learn a little more about Bryan Kest and Power Yoga.

Hot Yoga (02-22)

Tonight’s hot yoga class was very small with only two students and a substitute teacher. Meleah stood in for Jessica this evening. Having a different teacher provides a nice change of pace and a little variety. Of course, there is always a chance to learn something new such as a different variation or modification [...]
