Classes
Rose has carefully curated her unique approach to yoga and fitness into three specialized classes that you can learn about below. Rose streams classes online via Zoom and offers select in-person classes at Bonair Winery. Check out the Schedule page for the weekly class schedule and sign-up for a class using MindBody.
Zaha Yoga
The name Zaha came to Rose simply by taking the "ill" out of Zillaha! This class combines the benefits of Subtle Yoga® and the Gokhale Method® of postural awareness. Moving with awareness of the breath and maintaining length in the spine is encouraged during this class. Typical yoga postures are adapted and modified. A yoga sequence includes moving with awareness and with the breath to enhance nervous system regulation and postural alignment to suit everybody. Every class is unique. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself a smile!
Thera Yoga
A chair is used for part of this class. Students are encouraged to place a folded blanket on the seat of their chair, to lift their hips slightly above the knees and make it easier to lengthen the spine. There will be some standing exercises and some floor exercises. You may choose to use a recliner or your bed for the floor work if you prefer. Other props that are encouraged and may be used if available: hand weights, blankets, bolsters, pillows, wall, floor, ledge, stool, or countertop.
Yoga/HIIT
Yoga/HIIT is an exuberant class with Ray's mix of rock and roll music to enhance the pace. Shake, rattle, & roll to your heart's content in intervals between sets of bicep curls and other weight-lifting exercises using your favorite hand weights. We begin class with gentle stretching and a balance pose or two, to ground ourselves with awareness. Any and all props are encouraged in this light-hearted class.
