Yoga and Paddleboarding starts this Thursday!

Evolution Yoga — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:15:25 +0000

Paddleboarding is an ancient Hawaiian sport making a comeback in the fitness and meditation worlds. Evolution links the ancient science and art of yoga with paddleboarding in this exciting new series with Bill O’Connor that creates lean strong muscles, gives you peace of mind, and an energized body!

Come and see the beauty of Lake Champlain in a unique way as we glide across the water. Class starts with specific Yoga poses to strengthen and center the body. Then we move on to the docks for a dry land lesson of Paddle boarding. Then finally we move on to the water to experience the gentle yet physical practice of SUP. Ultimately, in our final lesson we will be doing Yoga on the surf board in the water to develop skills of concentration, awareness and balance.
No problem if you have no experience at yoga or paddleboarding. Sign up online now or Call 802.864.YOGA to book your spot! Please join us for this special experience.

Low Back Pain Research at evolution

Janet Carscadden — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:35:08 +0000

For the past five years I have had the pleasure treating patients in low back pain studies run by Dr. Sharon Henry at the University of Vermont. If you have been at the studio, you may have noticed the study recruitment posters on the walls. This spring we started recruiting and treating clients in a study that compares two different types of treatment for low back pain. If you have low back pain, please consider being a participant in the study. Not only do you help contribute to the body of science that hopes to better understand and improve outcomes for people with low back pain, but you get six free physical therapy sessions and are compensated $100 for your time. Your treatment can be provided at Evolution PT and Yoga or one of the other treatment sites. I’ve attached the contact information below regarding the study recruitment information. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish to be considered for treatment.

Sincerely,

Janet Carscadden PT

Dr. Sharon M. Henry R01 “Mechanisms of Specific Trunk Exercises in Low Back Pain”

Are you between 21-55 years old and suffer from chronic, low back pain?

You may be eligible to participate in a research study, conducted by the University of Vermont, that includes the following benefits:

- Pre and post-treatment testing sessions at the UVM Human Motion Analysis Lab (includes a free physical therapy evaluation)

- 6 physical therapy treatment sessions with a physical therapist at no charge to you or your health insurance

- $100 total compensation upon completion of study

The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not matching treatment to your specific symptoms is better at decreasing your pain and increasing your function than a non-specific strengthening/conditioning program.

This study is being conducted by Dr. Sharon M. Henry, Professor and Associate Dean of Research at the University of Vermont, College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

For more information or to sign-up, please call 802-656-1478, or e mail HLBPS@uvm.edu

Don’t Miss Acoustic Asana, this Friday!

Jamie — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:23:02 +0000

This Friday, don’t miss Jane and Patrick’s special one-night Acoustic Asana workshop. If you aren’t sure, check out this interview with Jane and get excited for this unique event!

Q: What are you most excited about ?

Jane: The space created by the combined practice and rhythms of music and yoga.

Q: What makes this workshop unique?

Jane: The live music and tuning fork and high vibrations help students easily access present moment awareness and santosha contentment. If you’re someone who likes to dance or plays an instrument, or simply likes to listen to music, then come notice the freedom available to you in your yoga practice when you combine those two elements. It is the mind-body link.

“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. “ ~Kahlil Gibran

Yoga on the Lake is an awakening experience

Jane — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:20:25 +0000

Traditionally, the connection between yoga and the outdoors is strong. For instance, there’s sun salutation, mountain pose, tree pose, breath of fire, Ocean Breath and much more. Practicing these asanas and pranayam outdoors creates a sense of connection with the Universe. Morning is an especially soft and quiet time to practice. Inward focus and the lake environment will calm the nerves; nature and yoga postures will invigorate your body. Feel clean air oxygenate your body and yogic breath infuse your lungs with openness.

Check out this new article in Yoga Journal about yoga outdoors, featuring Jane Jarecki, who teaches Yoga on the Lake: Back To Nature, Taking Yoga Outdoors.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7-8:15 am
20 out of 28 classes for $200 (only $10 per class!)

Curious about “Do Yoga with Your Mom?”

Evolution Yoga — Thu, 20 May 2010 15:26:17 +0000

evolution yoga asks Danielle Vardakas Ducko a few questions about her upcoming workshop: Do Yoga with Your Mom. Learn more about how it was created and how you would benefit from trying it out!

what motivated you to create do yoga with your mom?
My pregnancy really motivated me and the first time I taught the workshop I was several months pregnant. I really witnessed the connection to my child and it impacted the connection to my own mother. Meditating on breath with Garnet in my womb was amazing! Feeling his movement and moving with him in unison inspired me to create this sequence.

what if one or both people are new to yoga?
There are always modifications and I improvise for the group in front of me as needed. We will be taking postures slowly with lots of verbal cues, assists and demonstrations.

what is the age range of participants?
5-85

how would you sum up do yoga with your mom in 1 sentence?
Revisit your precious connection through breath, intention, and playfulness.
