HERE yoga & mindfulness center

The mission of HERE yoga & mindfulness center is to support students in cultivating an awakened presence within a caring and inclusive community. The classes we offer emphasize the inner yoga arts. Meditation, pranayama and self-reflection are integrated with yoga’s physical practice. It is our highest priority to create a safe and supportive space for each student’s journey and growth.
I believe the yoga postures (asanas) are a gateway to bringing the mind into calm awareness. Classes weave together the asanas with breathing techniques called pranayama, meditation, and Ayurvedic wisdom.
Classes are temporarily suspended at Open Space.

Description of Classes:
mindful flow:
This class integrates mindfulness with the asana practice. This means we flow from one pose to the next slowly and deliberately with keen interest and care. We pause throughout class to notice the effects the movement has on the mind and body and to adjust appropriately. Sometimes music is used to help enliven our inner graceful dancer while at other times we simply flow with the breath. All levels are welcome, but some introductory experience with yoga is recommended.
Open & Align:
yoga & meditation:
This class is a great entry level yoga and meditation class. We practice sitting, standing, lying and movement based meditation. The movement is slow and simple and is accompanied by breath awareness and practices.

“Ronly is an exquisite teacher. She holds a sacred space and place for both the individual and group. Yoga with Ronly continues to be extraordinary. I attribute much of my gained confidence, vibrancy, poise and sometimes even moments of elegance to what I now call, “Soul Yoga with Ronly.” – Louise Dorfman Olsen
May we be protected, May we be nourished, May we together be mentally strong. May we be luminous and filled with joy. May we work well together and not oppose each other. Let there be peace and serenity.
