Heartwood Drop in Classes
Open Classes
Heartwood offers two traditional yoga classes a week, appropriate for all levels. Due to covid concerns, these classes are currently taught on our sun-shade covered, outdoor labyrinth to assure safety and space for all to social distance, yet still enjoy a dynamic yoga experience. In cases where the weather is less than inviting or if we have 10 or less participants, the class may move into our air conditioned pavilion, a beautiful natural space with healthy airflow situated by the labyrinth. Students need not wear masks during class, but we do ask them to wear masks when in the office or using the bathroom, as these are more confined spaces. Heartwood follows careful cleaning procedures. We do have mats students can borrow, but it is advisable to bring your own mat if possible.
Students can pay a drop in rate of $18.00 per class, or purchase a 5 class pack for $70.00.
At this time, our open classes are Saturdays and Tuesdays from 10:00-11:15am. All other classes offered are in 5 week sessions (listed below).

With Ginny Shaddock
The holidays presents many challenges (as well as opportunities) to honor gifts of the spirit (patience, love and nonattachment). We will "go with the flow" in this class learning yoga of the mind and yoga of the body to add meaning and understanding to our holiday season. This 5 week, all-levels gentle flow class provides an opportunity to discover how a harmonious relationship with one's inner and outer life can promote balance and peace to our days while enriching one's generosity of spirit.

With Ginny Shaddock
This 5 session course focuses on yoga as a pathway to connecting to nature, both our inner nature and the beauty of the natural world. Nature can be an instrument of healing and personal vitality so to explore this, we enjoy class in different areas of Heartwood, the medicine wheel, the labyrinth, near the firepit, etc. each class featuring the theme of grounding, nature's energies, the elements, and honoring the silence of the earth. (We move indoors when the weather makes this necessary.)
