“We are all seeking an ongoing quality of life and in this class we challenge, encourage, and support each other to stay healthy and moving.

Vinyasa I/II
Vinyasa I/II Beginner & Intermediate Flow
This practice will leave you energized and with a sense of well-being about your day.
Each practice begins with awareness of our breath, creating a connection to fuel the focus of the mind and to fuel the power and flexibility of the body. Many athletes do not use the full capacity of their breath and thus limit their performance.
Emphasis is on safe alignment for building strength to develop core, legs, arm, shoulder, and back strength. These elements help prevent injuries and balance the front and back of muscle groups.
Learn to bring your practice from your center, that place of comfort and stability.
Modifications are provided during the work phase of our practice to allow students to move to their personal depth and edge of practice with a focus on anatomy and alignment. Level I/II postures explored depending on the experience of yogis attending.

COREYO
COREYO – Do you know which abs are the most important for core strength and stability?
Reach deep into the full core. Our core is not just the search for the six pack in the front of the belly. In our CoreYo practice we’ll work on the core related to the belly itself but also on the core related to standing balance and arm balances and just pure strength. We’ll learn a little anatomy along the way.

From the doctor on Back Pain.
Doctors now realize that lying around is actually counterproductive, leading to a decrease in conditioning and an increase in pain. The longer you stay in bed the more muscle mass you lose (up to 3 percent per day) and the resulting loss of strength can interfere with your rehabilitation, and force you to overwork other muscles to compensate. Rather than babying a back injury, doctors now recommend people start gentle activities the first day.

Yoga STRETCH
Yoga STRETCH
This combo class not only stretches muscle but also targets the other part of stretching…the connective tissue, such as the myofascia, ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body, that normally are not exercised with much intention in a more active style of asana practice.
This practice is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles.
Class is suitable for almost all levels of students*.

Ashley B recommends Yogachelan – Facebook and Tripadvisor.
Yoga Chelan has been a truly life changing experience for me. I’ve been going for 2 months at this point and have never felt more strong mentally and physically. The instructors are all amazing and so in-tune with each of their students. All the classes have a great supportive community of people who welcome you in at all levels. I’ve finally pushed past weight loss barriers that I’ve struggled with for years. The progression I’ve seen in my body and mental well-being has been amazing. By giving myself the self-care it needed, my whole life has improved. I am someone who has suffered from anxiety, depression, high stress, achy body, and weight gain for as long as I can remember, but these lovely instructors have helped me in more ways than I could have imagined. Thank you so much! I’m so happy to make Yogachelan apart of my weekly (sometimes daily) regimen. I highly recommend you trying a variety of classes. Yoga Circuit, Core Yo and Yin Yoga are a few of my favorites right now.
Olivia B recommends Yogachelan – Facebook
I live in Redmond, WA and plan my family vacations around Yogachelan’s class schedule (seriously). I discovered this studio two years ago and it has been transformative. Lynda’s guidance has allowed my body to move in new and different ways, opened up areas I didn’t realize were closed, and deepend my yoga practice in ways that are difficult to describe. The classes are challenging yet even a new practitioner will feel supported and guided through each pose. The icing on the cake is the joy that oozes from the studio – it is both contagious and inspiring! I cannot wait to return.

“If you are looking for a great place in Chelan Wa to do yoga, check out Yoga Chelan!! Lynda Kennedy is phenomenal and has such a wealth of knowledge in yoga, breathing, and kinesiology. I have met many of the other instructors who have been trained by Lynda and have been so impressed! Thanks for providing quality yoga instruction and just a wonderful place to be!”
