It's been awhile since I've posted here. I hope you all are doing well! I'm writing with some updates about yoga classes that I'm teaching at the Loft, in case you can make it. Would love to see you!
First, starting tonight, I'm teaching a Gentle Yoga 4-Week Series on Thursdays, for the month of August. A good way to unwind & feel at home in your body. If you can't take all 4 classes, you're welcome to drop-in for any of them!! You can signup at http://theloftsf.com/ under the Workshops/Events section.
Gentle Yoga 4-Week Series (Drop-Ins Welcome)
Thursdays 8/4/2011 - 8/25/2011
6-7:30 PM
Thursdays 8/4/2011 - 8/25/2011
6-7:30 PM
Cost: $50 Series/$17 drop-in or regular class card
@ the Loft, 321 Divisadero St. @ Page
The series will be a meditative movement exploration, a slower-paced yoga experience fitting for beginners and those who want a gentle and less physically challenging class for any reason. While the classes will be accessible to everyone, they still provide a strong base for starting and sustaining a regular practice. Each class will build on the last, but for those who can't take the whole series, drop-ins are welcome. We will focus on breath, feeling comfortable in the body, and grounding, while revealing stillness and space in the body. Through this practice we can quiet the mind, heal, and move with intuition and safe alignment.

WEEKEND CLASS SCHEDULE:
SATURDAYS10:45-12pm
Gentle Hatha Yoga at the Yoga Loft
321 Divisadero St. @ Page St.
$10 community class. all levels are welcome.
This class is a meditative movement exploration, a slower-paced introduction to the practice that is good for beginners as well as those who would like a gentle & less physically challenging class for any reason. Focus is on getting into the body, grounding, and bringing acceptance to the body in the present moment. Students are encouraged to quiet the mind, breathe, and use intuition in moving in conjunction with guidance on safe alignment.
SUNDAYS
6:30-8pm
Restorative Yoga at the Yoga Loft
321 Divisadero St. @ Page St.
$10 community class. all levels are welcome.
This is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply. Focus is on the breath and gentle softening of places where we hold extra tension and stress... and on re-setting, exploring, and rejuvenating intentions.

Jessie teaches gentle hatha & restorative yoga in San Francisco. Her mother was her first yoga teacher, and this early experience of yoga led to a continued exploration and fascination of yoga. In 2006, she trained to teach Beginner's Hatha Yoga (with a large emphasis on the gentle Integral Yoga method), through the guidance of Jeannie Laslo (Red Door Yoga Co-Owner). In 2008, to continue her studies, she took the Yoga Loft's Advanced Studies/Teacher Training, and in 2010 she took Judith Hanson Lasater's Relax & Renew Restorative Yoga training. She enthusiastically welcomes new practitioners to yoga and supports the continuation of a yoga practice at any time or phase of one's life, with an awe of how yoga can heal us. Jessie intends to facilitate the experience of yoga, or union, by allowing space for the breath, emotions, observing patterns of thought and thus habits of movement, and encouraging overall comfort in the body in its current state. Jessie teaches with care for each student and believes in the power of yoga to bring about a deep peace and ease of mind, heart, and body, that can allow us to fulfill our innermost intentions. She is also interested in the intersection of yoga and music, and sings in a community women's choir, Conspiracy of Venus, as well as organizes and promotes shows via a project called SeaweedSway.
