What we offer at our studio
You are warmly invited to experience the yoga at Balancing Arts Studio. It is an infusion
of classical eastern style Hatha with an approach that comes from philosophies and
experiences in nature and other modalities that I have come to know. Unifying mind,
body and spirit, an intention is offered to nurture awareness during our time together in
the studio. I hope that your own unique practice will strengthen as you lose all definitions
of yoga and embrace the discovery and expression of your creativity, on your path of
living your light.
Our classic class- Yoganic Arts
(offering both private and group)
This practice is designed to unify the body, mind and spirit by building strength, balance
and flexibility on a new level; toning the body, focusing the mind, nurturing creativity,
and recharging the spirit. Letting go of definitions and expectations of a certain style
of yoga, our classes are organic, giving you the freedom to have new experiences each
time you come to the mat, while embracing the many aspects of your Self. Breathe,
discover and express what yoga means to you on your path of living your light. I will
teach from and integrate into class, my experiences and studies in: somatics, hatha,
nada, (sound) yoga, nidra yoga, thai yoga, reiki, eastern tradition, modern scientific
research, and nature. All experience levels are welcomed and honored as modifications
will be presented. Students are guided to practice mindfully and within his/her
capacity. “To perform every action artfully is yoga.“ Swami Kripalu.

North Shore Academy of the Arts, Inc.
Soma-Nidra-Nada-Meditation Class
A way to “work in” vs. work out.
Join others who want to develop or advance a meditation practice in this group setting.
We’ll begin with somatics, a gentle form of yoga done primarily in a reclined position that
promotes sensory awareness and freedom of movement and prepares the Self for further
inner work. We’ll then experience Yoga Nidra, an ancient practice from the yoga tradition.
Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is an effortless state of being, experienced in a reclined
position, that invites complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. With its many
profound benefits, we will use it to further deepen our practice. Class will include Nada
yoga, using crystal singing bowls, gong baths and other sound/music designed to unify. Seated breathing exercises and an extended session of meditation conclude the class.
This class is designed for those interested in developing their creativity, personal insights,
unification in mind body and breath, and spiritual transformation.
Somatics
“Somatics is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach that connects body sciences and
movement to help each person understand more about his or her body/mind and
move toward greater integration.” This gentle movement modality, focused on releasing
habitual muscle contraction, is designed to foster an internal sensory awareness to reeducate the body, releasing tension and promoting freedom of movement.
Nada Yoga
This private or semi-private session is based on the science and art of inner
transformation through tone and sound. Designed to unify through sound, a variety of
techniques, instruments and music are used including: gong baths, crystal singing bowls,
sound therapy music, tuning forks, etc.
Teen Yoga
(Not currently offered-if you have a small group of teens interested, call to schedule your
own session) Teens are always welcome at any group class. Cost for teens: $3 per class
Focusing on developing flexibility, strength and balance, this class is perfect for all teens,
especially those participating in a sport or those interested in relieving stress and gaining
flexibility. In a down to earth atmosphere, we’ll move through asanas, breathe, focus,
balance, relax and have fun.
Yoga Rhythm
A one hour “yoga dance” class inspired by invigorating and soothing music, with a
sequence of longer holds, strength building, stretching, balancing work and relaxation.
Meditation, singing bowls and gong sounds conclude the class. Based on the science
of sound and music and the ancient practice of yoga. No dance experience necessary!
“The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the
symphony of life.” -BKS Iyengar

Private Reiki Sessions
Reiki is a stress reduction and relaxation technique from Japan that can also promote
healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us
through a “laying of the hands.” Reiki treats the whole person leaving them feeling
relaxed, peaceful, secure and with a feeling of well being.
Group Thai-Yoga Class
Experience this special form of yoga that infuses restorative yoga poses and breathing
with Thai yoga techniques. Designed to improve posture, flexibility, digestion and
circulation, this restorative class will reduce both physical and emotional tension while
working to remove blocked energy and provide a new found freedom in mind, body
and breath. With the benefit of two qualified instructors during one class, you will move
into asanas and then receive hands-on adjustments that feel as relaxing as a massage.
Craniosacral and Reiki therapies will be offered during the class to give you the feeling
of complete relaxation. Instructors: Julie Prochnow (Cyga Grafton,) and Sheri Bestor
