GUITAR FLOW

A yoga flow class led by Evon, accompanied by live guitar of acclaimed musician Michael Krassner. Known for his deeply intuitive and exploratory approach to music, Michael creates a shifting soundscape that is atmospheric, spontaneous and entirely in the moment.

Friends for many years, Michael and Evon have shared this unique collaboration over the past two decades, weaving live music and movement together in a way that is never the same and always deeply soulful. An avid music lover, Evon enjoys creative ways to weave it into the yoga class experience without distracting students from the depth of the practice.

During our weekly Gentle yoga class, long-time student and lifetime cellist Stefanie Vartabedian will provide the enchanting sounds of the cello for our practice. Classically trained as cellist, Stefanie enjoys playing a variety of music and the healing power it brings.

THE MAGIC OF BREATH

Mary Beth Markus, CYI E-RYT 500
Saturday, September 19 • 2-4pm • $40

The breath is an elixir for body and mind, essential for healing and thriving. Explore a variety of breathing techniques designed to calm the nervous system, increase vitality, sharpen awareness, and support a more conscious and vibrant way of living. There will be a few gentle postures to support fuller breathing and chest openers.

There are certain teachers who shape an entire yoga community, and Mary Beth is one of them. As the longtime director of Desert Song Yoga, which served the community for close to 40 years, she guided generations of students and teachers.

TRANSITIONS

A mixed-level class co-led by Evon Hart, Ellen Martinoni & Jane Mayer
Sunday, September 20
10-11:30am • $25

As Community Yoga transitions from Evon’s ownership to Jane’s and becomes Centered, join us for a class exploring how yoga can help us move through change and transition with greater awareness, curiosity and ease.

This unique co-led class moves through three distinct phases: Evon opens with 30 minutes of grounding and warm-up; Ellen leads the dynamic asana practice; and Jane, the new owner of Centered, guides the final 30 minutes of winding down, Nidra and Savasana.

A practice that mirrors the transition itself—honoring what has been, embracing what is unfolding, and making space for what comes next.
