| Open Meditation Come give your mind a mini-retreat, and join us for a session of open meditation. This non-dogmatic class will facilitate open group meditation along with guided imagery and visualization. |
| Yoga for Every Body This class is all about your yoga. It is comprised of classical asanas taught at the individual students’ level and to meet their specific physical and personal needs. Students will have the opportunity to explore yoga tradition and philosophy if they wish with the intention of assisting them to integrate the benefits of yoga into all areas of life. This class is great for novices, those with specific physical issues, and even experienced yogins and yoginis who would like to revisit classical yoga. We will practice asana in a Yin style to balance our usually very Yang lives. Our hope is that this will be an interactive class where we all learn from one another. Chair assists are available. Please join us. |
| Open Yoga Open level classes are appropriate for all levels, including Beginners. The students' 'goal' in an open class is to take their practice level from where it is; into the beyond, by using physical modifications given by the instructor. This class does not follow any specific style of yoga and is an exploration of the body using breathwork and heightened awareness that supports balance in the body. We encompass the stength building and alignment of an Iyengar type approach (long deep holds) balanced with a Yin approach. Yin yoga asana is a releasing into the bodys individual structure and is less focused on classical alignment. Our philosophy is that yoga is not a competition with either ourselves or others. |

| Vinyasa Flow Basics FLOW and YIN. This class is designed for beginners and advanced yogis alike to learn the fundamentals of breathing and transitioning through the Vinyasa (flow) yoga as you begin to build your practice or just refresh the foundations and alignment. Both standing work and movement are incorporated along with serious YIN work. YIN poses are held anywhere from 2-5 minutes and concentrate on hips, hamstring, pelvis and the lower spine. YIN work takes you deeper into the connective tissues of the body in order to maintain mobility and suppleness. FLOW and YIN are opposites that perfectly compliment each other." Taking several weeks of Yin / Flow I classes will better prepare you for the serious movement in the Vinyasa flow classes. This class is regular room temperature. |

| What is a Vinyasa Class? Kim teaches a strongly compassionate yoga that is challenging for advanced students and supportive for beginners. She is strongly influenced by Vinyasa, or a fluid asana practice that purifies, empowers and revitalizes through a creative blend that emphasizes the detail and therapeutic approach brought to us by Iynengar, the energizing merge of breath and challenging asana, influenced by the Ashtanga method and the inherent heart opening and compassion that is the result of any authentic yoga practice. Vinyasa or "flow" yoga is one of the emerging forms of yoga in the West arising from Krishnamacharya's lineage of Ashtanga, Iyengar and Viniyoga. Vinyasa yoga is sequenced to bring balance between ease (sukha) and effort (sthira) while synchronizing the movement with the breath. The sequences of the yoga postures are both physically challenging and spiritually rejuvenating. Each posture is designed to prepare the body for the one that follows. Yoga opens both the chakras and the muscular/skeletal system, stimulates the glandular system, and helps eliminate toxins to rebuild the body from old injuries. With continued yoga practice, what once seemed purely physical slowly transforms the practitioner towards a metaphysical state of being. Kim's intention is to empower each student to discover the teacher within and that these classes transform your thoughts, actions and body from the inside out. |
| Private Yoga Instruction Private Yoga Instruction is perfect for those new to yoga. Several yoga sessions can give you a basic foundation in alignment and breathe to enable you to safely participate in most beginner or intermediate yoga classes. Private yoga is also beneficial for those who want to deepen their practice or work toward rehabilitating old or new* injuries. Please contact Kim to discuss your unique situation and needs. |

| Kim Hudson | |

Kim
is the daughter of a Hindu father and Christian Mother, and a long time
student of diverse spiritual teachings and indigenous wisdom. She began
practicing yoga shortly after an injury to her knee in 1988 left her
unable to walk without a limp.
Years later, while working in Washington, DC, she saw how effective it was for people to reclaim balance thru the simple practice of yoga. Kim now lives in Brewster and is also a massage therapist with interests in herbalism, and simple natural living. |
| Yoga facilitates our inner teacher to wake up and 'help us out of our own way'. Of course, a strong and supple body are nice side effects, but what really happens is an unfolding of the spirit by learning to simply ‘Be in the moment’. Join Kim as her intuitive, compassionate, yet challenging approach helps you to relax, replenish and rebuild. Come feel wonderful and let the sacred happen. | |
“True understanding is found through Compassion"
| Yoga practice brings balance and
restores all bodily systems by creating physical, mental and spiritual
harmony. Through regular practice, the asanas (postures) improves the
heart, spleen, kidneys, liver, and intestines and strenghtens the
ligaments, tendons, joints, and muscles. The mind is also strengthened and regular practice helps to eliminate stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental afflictions. Yoga helps to calm the mind, quiet the brain's chatter, and deepens the relaxation response. As we progress in our practice, we open ourselves up for a transformational experience. This is our intention at Brewster Yoga and Massage. |
