A few things to remind you...

• Please arrive on time. You'll need time to park, pay, sign in and get ready for class.

• You can wear comfortable, stretchy clothes.

• It's better to do yoga on an empty stomach (unless you are pregnant and need to eat often).

•Please bring your own mat or purchase one here. We carry only PVC free mats.

• Please do not wear parfume, cologne, essential oil, scented hair products as some students are very sensitive and allegic to chemicals or even "natural" products.

• Help us keep the place neat by putting all the props back in the prop room. Thank you!

• If you have any injuries or have any specific questions to address before class, come early or call prior to attending. If you aren't sure which class would be best for you, give us a call!

• Most of our classes are appropriate for beginner and are mixed levels.

• Have fun in class!

All of our classes are drop in, and you can come without having to register beforehand.

Exception to that are one-time events and the Yin Yoga series. While you can drop in to the yin yoga classes, you don't get the discounted rate unless you pay up front.

To pre-register, you can send a check to Om Base (or drop one off when you come to class) for the total amount of the event/series or a deposit of $30. You can also call in with a credit card, or pay online here.

The yin practice is a great balance for those who are more active and or athletic, as well as a great segue for those new to yoga.

It is an approach to using yoga to counter some of what the Taoist believe tends to happen with many of us as we age, namely that from the waist down we tend to get tighter and tighter, and from the waist up we tend to grow weaker...

The yin approach utilizes long, supported, postures, that you simply relax into... when the muscles are relaxed, then the myofascial tissue surrounding them can begin to stretch and also strengthen.

The postures are designed to help you move each joint in its full range of motion through its natural range... this is done through gentle but persistent compression of the joints as one hangs out in, and melts into a stretch, so most of the practice is on the floor, and most of it is passive.

Sun 12-1:15 pm w/Adriana

The benefits of bellydancing in pregnancy include a safe, natural way to open & strengthen the muscles of the pelvis, hips, thighs and lower back. It promotes relaxation, grace & balance and also provides you an enjoyable way to embrace the beauty of your beguiling belly.

Classes consist of opening with prenatal yoga postures, instruction in basic bellydance moves particularly helpful in relieving common discomforts and to assist women in labor, choreographies created specifically for pregnancy and ends with a deep, guided relaxation.

Classes are taught in a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment by Adriana.

Thur 7:30-8:30 pm w/Dagmar

by donation - starts 2/4/10

During this weekly offering, we start with a sound meditation, where you simply sit or lie quietly and allow the gentle sounds of bells, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls and chimes to soothe your body and mind. Then you are invited to tone together as a group, where you are encouraged to use your voice and let sounds come through you.

Toning is the elongation of a note or tone using breath and voice. It is an active vocal healing meditation that can help you re-discover your authentic voice, reduce stress, restore balance and connect you with the deeper rhythms and vibrations of your being. No singing experience is required.

Dagmar is a gifted sound and energy healer with a private practice in SW Portland. Trained in shamanic work, sound healing, Spiritual Response Therapy and Reiki, she helps individuals come into balance and connect more deeply to their soul’s path.
