Use your class card or drop in for $15

Saturday, June 3: 4:30 PM Low Back & Hip
In this class we will do a series of routines using 6- to 10-inch balls to work specific muscles in detail to create suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion. In order to release and balance the muscles that affect your low back and hips we will work muscles from the top of your pelvis down: muscles of your legs, your buttocks and your hip rotators. We’ll also work from the top of your pelvis up: your abdominals and back muscles. Separating, elongating and toning these muscles will create space, relieving pressure on your hips and low back.

Saturday, June 24: 4:30 PM Body Rolling for Yoga
Through Yamuna Body Rolling, you can more easily master asanas while preventing injury. Learn to go deeper in your yoga postures, hold them longer and feel more graceful and powerful while doing so. Create a true crescent shape in half moon! Go all the way up on your toes for awkward pose! Yamuna Body Rolling can help you advance in your yoga routine no matter what your level of fitness or style of yoga practice.

A ball, the floor and you---we will use the special Yamuna balls and target specific muscle groups (sides and back of the body as well as muscles in the legs and feet) with routines to increase flexibility and remove obstacles and restrictions from the body. Come ‘breathe into the ball’ and experience a unique workout for Yoga practitioners---and anyone interested in a longer, freer and more relaxed body.

May 6    Yamuna Body Rolling -Neck, Shoulders and Spine Neck and shoulder problems usually begin in the hip; to resolve them you must elongate all the muscles of your torso that attach to your neck and shoulders.  The neck and torso muscles also affect your posture, which is key to resolving neck and shoulder problems.  In this class we will use 6- to 10-inch balls to work specific muscles in detail.   

May 13 & 27   Pilates Basic/Intermediate

This system of exercise that focuses on the deep muscles of the abdomen and spine compliments your yoga practice!  Simultaneously strengthened and lengthened, your muscles become longer and leaner, acquiring optimal strength and flexibility.  The result is a body that is upright, balanced, and agile.

May 20     Yamuna Body Rolling  -Feet & Knees

This class will teach you to use plastic half-spheres called Foot Wakers, which are a powerful tool for improving foot function and preventing your feet from restricting you at any time of life.

May '06  Vacuum Technology As a Hot Yoga Studio with carpet, we are always exploring new ways to keep our carpet as clean and fresh as possible. We recently discovered a German made air and carpet cleaning system that worked SO WELL that we had to share it with you!  The product is Hyla and the technology is a water-based electronic filtering system for cleaning your carpets, hardwoods and the air in your home.  It is extremely easy to use and you can see what you pull out of your carpets right in the water.  Seeing is believing, and we are now in the process of buying a system for the studio.  If you struggle with allergies, have animals or just want to use the best cleaning system available, check out Pure LIfe, a local environmental home store near Whole Foods on Briarcliff and then link to the Hyla website.  To prepare you, the product is expensive; however, depending on your situation, it may be the best money you ever spend (aside from your yoga classes of course).  Call Audrey @404-634-5590 if you would like to schedule a demo at your home and tell her that Debbie from DHY sent you.

In this class we will do a series of routines using 6 to 10 inch balls to work specific muscles in detail, to create suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion.  YBR reeducates muscles and stimulates bone, creating positive, permanent changes in your body.  It works the way a hands on practitioner works, only the ball replaces hands as it moves on muscles to stretch them, dislodge tension and discomfort, increase blood flow, and promote healing.  We will focus in this class on muscles that affect your low back and hips.

Saturday March 25 YAMUNA BODY ROLLING for NECK, SHOULDERS, AND BACK

The class will be presented by Elizabeth Sundby, CNMT.  Elizabeth has been teaching Anatomy classes at ASHA and other schools for over 10 years.  She has a BS in Biology from North Georgia College and State University.  She has a reputation for making things fun, and for making difficult concepts seem easier.

The bill would require that Georgia's children receive more education and instruction in the areas of nutrition, physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices. Among other measures, the bill would require 30 minutes of physical education each day in elementary schools and 45 minutes in middle schools. Currently, physical education is currently not required in Georgia's middle schools, and most elementary students only receive physical education 2 or 3 days a week.

 The American Cancer Society, in collaboration with the American  Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, has launched a campaign to encourage Americans to make healthier choices with regard to diet and exercise. According to the American Cancer Society, obesity is related to an increased risk of several forms of cancer, including breast, endometrial, esophagus, and kidney. According to the Centers for disease control, 26% of Georgia's youth are overweight or at the threshold of being considered overweight. Senate Bill 474 will ensure that Georgia's children are given opportunities to make healthy choices everyday with regard to diet and exercise.

Feb '06 Yamuna Body Rolling for Foot & Knee Saturday, February 11th  4:30-6:00pm
* Takes the place of the Basic/Internediate Pilates class on our regular schedule.

This class will teach you to use plastic half-spheres called Foot Wakers, which are an intense, powerful tool for improving foot function and preventing your feet from restricting you at any time of life.  Foot Wakers actually re-educate feet.  They improve gait, alignment, and muscle tone, stimulate reflexology points, strengthen arches, increase range of motion, and stimulate and elongate the muscles of the calves, thighs, hips, and lower back.  Working intensively with Foot Wakers, you can rehabilitate foot problems and literally work your body all the way to your head. 

Workshop presented by our Pilates Director, Melissa Wirsig, who is also a certified Yamuna Body Rolling instructor and has just returned from a week-long internship at the flagship Yamuna studio in New York. 

A pair of Foot Wakers is available for $35.00; Foot DVD: $14.00; Wakers and DVD set: $44.00.

Use your DHY class card or drop in for $15.00

Feb '06 Yamuna Body Rolling for Neck, Shoulders and Back Saturday, February 25th  4:30-6:00pm
* Takes the place of the Basic/Internediate Pilates class on our regular schedule.

In this class we will do a series of routines using 6 to 10-inch balls to work specific muscles in detail, to create suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion.  Yamuna Body Rolling reeducates muscles and stimulates bone, creating positive, permanent changes in the body.  Yamuna Body Rolling works the way a hands-on practitioner works, only the ball replaces hands as it moves on muscles to stretch them, dislodge tension and discomfort, increase blood flow, and promote healing.

This class is also presented by Melissa Wirsig, Pilates Director at DHY.

Sets and individual balls range in price from $29.00-$68.00; please see our display of
Yamuna Body Rolling Products in the studio.

Feb '06 Introduction to Ayurveda Free Workshop Saturday, February 18th  12:30-1:30pm
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing system which dates back almost 5,000 years.  Meaning the science of life, Ayurveda is making a comeback after being lost for many centuries.  In the West, doctors Deepak Chopra and David Simon have played a large part in the resurrection of this wonderful, gentle, comprehensive, self-care, conscious-based healing system.  Ayurveda looks at not only the physical symptoms of illness, but also the body type, emotions, lifestyle, stress levels and the environment in which we live.

Presented by Daniel Bastacky, Chopra Certified Instructor

Yamuna Body Rolling Class
Presenter: Melissa Wirsig
Saturday, January 28th 4:30-6:00pm.
Drop in for $15 or use your DHY class card
After our first Body Rolling class in December, we have had several requests to offer this on a regular basis. Our intention is to offer this at least once a month.

Yamuna Body Rolling allows you to condition and lengthen your muscles as you realign your spine and joints. You will use a 6 to 10 inch ball to learn to do your own deep-tissue massage and myofascial release. Yamuna Body Rolling is a wonderful tool for self-healing and often helps you to relieve existing pain. It also helps you to discover imbalances and correct them before they become a more serious problem. Body Rolling is easy and it feels so good that you will get hooked. Your body will only ask for more.

The 6 inch foam roller is an excellent tool to challenge your proprioception and balance. Learn to use it to strengthen your core muscles as we adapt several Pilates exercises to be done on the foam roller.

Kundalini Workshop: “Flexibility and the Spine”
Presenter: Sedef Dion
January 28th 12:30-3:00pm
DHY Zen Room
$45.00
This kriya is an example of a series which would not be given in a routine Kundalini Yoga class. It is for students who have attained a moderate degree of flexibility and coordination in regular Kundalini classes and who need a challenge, a deeper practice, and want to eject residual poisons and drugs from the muscle tissue. If this set is done every morning, the spine will be adjusted so well that many chiropractic bills will be unnecessary. Before attempting this set, be sure you have no major physical problems that will prevent you from doing any of the exercises. Unlike most kundalini Yoga kriyas, there is no rest between each exercise, unless it is explicitly stated. Not recommended for someone who has never experienced Kundalini yoga.

8 week Anatomy Course: Building the Muscles with Clay
Presenter: Elizabeth Sundby, CNMT
Thursdays, 11:30am- 3:00pm February 2nd- March 30th (no class on March 2nd)
Cost: $450
The anatomy class you’ve always wanted! True, hands-on, interactive, musculoskeletal anatomy that you won’t forget because you learned it with your own hands. We will be building the muscles onto a special, small-scale model of a skeleton. Using and oil-based clay, we build from the inside out, so you get to see the body take shape, over the weeks, right under your hands. Great for yoga instructors, personal trainers, artists or dancers… even sixth graders! No artistic ability is necessary.

Elizabeth has been teaching Anatomy classes as ASHA and other schools for over 10 years. She has a BS in Biology from North Georgia College and State University. She has a reputation for making things fun, and for making difficult concepts seem easier.
