This class begins with a warm stretching of the legs, hips and back.
We then move to standing poses and incorporate light weights into the sequence for strength building and toning. There is a lot of cuing of alignment for safety and a chair is encouraged if needed for extra balance support. Balance and posture are also important componenets of our practice. The class ends with a restorative pose for deeper relaxation.
PRIVATE CLASS (USA)
INCREASE YOUR BONE DENSITY!
Date: Ongoing WEdnesday 18:15H
This class will focus on yoga for those with osteoporosis or osteopenia to strengthen normal and weakened bones. Osteoporosis, the loss of bone density, is a natural part of the aging process, but when too much bone is lost the bones become weak and susceptible to fractures or breaks. Osteoporosis can be treated through regular weight bearing exercise such as Yoga. Yoga helps to stimulate bone strengthening for the whole body while being low-impact. This class teaches very safe yoga poses that are beneficial for your bones. Light weights are optional.
PRIVATE CLASS (USA)
VINYASA SEQUENCE
Date: Ongoing Thursday 18H
This Vinyasa class begins with a short centering breath and teaches all the basic yoga poses with an in-depth attention to alignment. These poses are creatively linked with the breath in a flowing sequence. The class includes a series of balance, lengthening and strengthening poses to build stamina and confidence and an overall well-being. This private class allows the student to deepen her practice while avoiding injury.
TESTIMONIALS
In just a few months Ms. Delatour has improved my physical and mental health. Having tried a multitude of trainers and regimes I can honestly say her ability to teach and tailor the most appropriate parts of yoga, breathing and meditation to my needs is truly exceptional.

The Chakra scan has been an interesting exercise for me because my the last year my mind/body/spirit has been going through a lot. Today was very useful to dedicate some time to meditate on the inner meaning and connection that I've been physically aware of throughout my life.
I could really feel the connection of the chakras. It makes me aware of needing to live mindfully. Really the lower chakras I need to work on through mindful living. Thank you.

This was a great experience for me. The Chakra scan meditation made me feel so relaxed, almost sleeping, but not. I felt free, like letting go feeling, I felt the energy expand as we moved on. As we moved up, I felt like I was flying, in the clouds. I enjoyed feeling like I could say what I want. As you spoke, I began to relax more. When you went into the third eye, I'm very relaxed and I felt like a bird with wings. By the last chakra, I nearly fell asleep I was that relaxed, nothing and everything at the same time.

After years of on and off yoga practice, I finally found a home with Dhyana. What I value most in her approach is the way she provides many options, allowing for the fact that all bodies are different and some days are better than others. There is never any judgement, but always many options to push yourself as far as you wish and your body allows or not. I've learned a lot from Dhyana on how to make small changes to improve my form and strength. She also brings a gentle sense of humor to her classes, which I enjoy.

I first experienced Dhyana's teaching several years ago at a Sunday evening Restorative Yoga Class. I saw how Dhyana has a facility to help you lead yourself to complete relaxation. I told her after several weeks that I thought of her as the "Timeless One". I was delighted when Dhyana took on the Saturday morning classes, where I got to see how Dhyana teaches a regular Vinyasa yoga. She is adept at gently correcting your practice in a manner appropriate to your skill level that also encourages you to gently explore your strengths while respecting your body. I appreciate how she continues to study and explore other types of yoga, awareness and growth.

Dhyana was recommended to me by a well known DC studio where my son, who has special needs, had had a 1:1 session with a teacher who moved out west. After several years of missing yoga, he was delighted when I was able to connect with Dhyana. And I was able to join the weekly session at my home with my son as well after my work day, and they have been wonderful for both of us. She is caring, kind, fun, and an expert at gauging different levels of experience and ability. I have had the opportunity to have her to myself a few times as well when my son was out of town and she immediately adopted our sessions exclusively to me. She's great!
