Wisdom Warriors™ Class,
co-taught by "seasoned" Jim and Kathy Simonik (as concepted by Desiree Rumbaugh)

 

Wisdom Warriors is a new class designed especially for dedicated practitioners over 50 who know what it means to remain youthful through the practice of yoga and other healthy lifestyle activities. Now don’t get fooled when you hear ‘over 50′, as this class is for experienced practitioners who are adept at yoga.


Along with regular yoga classes we will be offering creative activities to choose from such as:

• Regular scheduled pot-luck dinners at someones home or gourmet dinners out

• Gourmet Cooking Classes

• Bowling and Bocce night out at Pinstripes

• Beer and Wine Tastings

• Wisdom Warrior Weekend Excursions with yoga, kayaking, bike riding, hiking, scuba diving and more

• Ravinia, museums

• Botanic Garden



Wisdom Warriors is the perfect elixir of youth for anyone who wants to preserve their high level of health, flexibility and strength throughout their lifetime. It is intended to help people keep their practice strong and vital.

We slow it down to fit our needs while continuing to put forth the effort to understand the changes in our bodies as we go. Rather than saying “I am too old for this”, we ask “what needs to get stronger, longer or softer so this pose feels right for me”?
A full range of poses are always available including standing poses, backbends, hip openers, forward bends, inversions and arm balances. It is not suitable for beginners. Class is physically and spiritually inspiring, has a strong therapeutic focus, and aims to foster community among our 50+ yogis.

If you have been practicing yoga for a while and long to connect with others who will help you stay healthy and fit, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to strengthen your body, mind and friendships. We believe that old dogs can learn new tricks, however with the wisdom that age inspires, our practice becomes intelligent and wise.

The Summer Solstice Yoga Class

Since ancient times, solstices and equinoxes have been essential and sacred points in the year to honor the flow of life on earth. They are times for us to come back into balance and harmony. Right now it is more important than ever to come together to amplify the positive and healing energies. Now is the time to reconnect to the light within ourselves. This light is the essence of our being, and each one of us can share that light with the world.
Each year, the timing of the solstice depends on when the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator. It is the longest day and the shortest night of the earth’s solar year. Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21, 2013, at 1:04 A.M.

Join Kathleen for the 6:15-7:30 PM on the Friday June 21st class to honor the changing of the seasons. This will be an all level class focusing on meditation, the calling of the directions and sun salutations.
