Healix Yoga

The word "yoga" means "to yoke".  This ancient healing practice of Yoga draws our attention inward, through mindful breathing (pranayama) and attention to our body through asana (the poses of yoga).  Through the light-hearted, sangha centered,  therapeutically based practice at healix, students find a new sense of space and ease of being.  The classes are guided skillfully and with humor and human connection by certified yoga instructors Emily Wiadro and Walter Hagedorn.  Here's some of what you can expect from embracing the practice of yoga into your life: 

• Improved posture and balance
• Increased body awareness and strength
• Improved concentration and restful sleep
• Greater flexibility and better range of motion
• Better overall health, energy and vitality
• Natural weight loss
• Lower levels of chronic stress and pain

Perhaps you've been afraid to attend a yoga class, but you are curious.  The safe therapeutic yoga offered at online through healix may be the answer...

"You emerge from each class feeling stronger, more relaxed and happy. Within 6 months of coming to her Vinyasa classes, my breathing improved and I found relief from a decade of sinus problems." Mimi M.

"I left each class feeling somehow lighter, and looser, and also more at ease in the world." Don G

"My daughter gave me a gift certificate for a few classes, and when I had finished them, I immediately signed up for more.  The gentle stretches and deep breathing seem to invigorate the entire body, relieving the stress pockets that I normally carry.  I feel as though she incorporates mind, body, and soul in the restful yet challenging movements."  Rachel B.

Our community has grown outside the bubble of Brattleboro during this year of online classes.  We are a sangha of humans of all ages, shapes, colors and origins.  Our community is one of loving kindness and acceptance of ourselves and one another. 

"...in my past, after taking a yoga class, I would congratulate myself for doing every move at all costs.(even if it meant getting hurt). But now I congratulate myself for NOT doing moves that could risk injury. I’ve learned compassion for my body working with you over the past 2-3 years!" P.F.
