Restorative Yoga with Tabitha
During this class, Tabitha will lead students through a sequence of gentle poses, each fully supported through the use of blankets, blocks, bolsters and other props to help you relax and restore.
IMPORTANT NOTES: We have reduced the capacity for this class to ensure social distance, so book the class early to reserve your spot. However, please do not attend if you have exhibited any signs of COVID-19, such as fever, nausea, cough or body aches, or been in contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 (we will gladly let you reschedule).
We will now require a temperature screen and new waiver completion at the start of each class. We also need all participants to bring their own mats, blankets and blocks until we are past the pandemic. We do have a limited supply of props available for purchase at the studio.
Yoga
The world can be so loud and hectic, but through regular yoga practice you can align and calm your mind, body and spirit. UpLIFT Nola teaches a variety of yoga forms in a non-dogmatic manner that honors and welcomes everyone. From vinyasa, restorative, and yin to hatha and special courses for yoga beginners and kids, we hope you find a practice that meets your needs.
Meditation
Utilizing active yoga postures, breathing techniques and centering methods, our meditation class helps build greater self-awareness and impulse control while allowing students to better manage stress and anxiety. UpLIFT Nola offers a regular weekly group practice as well as specialized training workshops for educators and those working in school settings.
Art
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." -- Picasso
Remember all the hours you spent as a child coloring and letting your imagination go wild? It's never too late to bring back that feeling with our weekly art classes. Using a non-toxic oil painting method, Peggy (who reclaimed her own passion for art after retiring) leads students through a weekly 2-hour class.
