Mosaic

Life is about learning.
If you are new to Yoga or an experienced practitioner, it helps to have a wide array of resources to help deepen your practice. Here are our responses to frequently asked questions about Yoga, Reiki, Element Training, and our Mosaic studio. Feel free to contact us if you would like to learn more!

Yoga

I’ve never done Yoga before — would these classes be good for me?
Yoga can be done at any age or physical ability. As a moving meditation, Yoga has been shown to have many positive effects from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual perspective. Just a few benefits include:

• Decreased blood pressure and total cholesterol levels
• Improved flexibility and joint range of motion
• Improved hand-eye coordination
• Improved posture
• Enhanced strength and endurance
• Better sleeping patterns
• Normalized weight
• Decreased anxiety and depression
• Improved self-acceptance and self-actualization
• Improved mood
• Better memory skills

Mosaic offers an array of classes for all levels. Beginners are encouraged to try Hatha and Basic Vinyasa classes to start.

What do I need to get started with Yoga?
You need very little to begin your Yoga practice! Come with an open mind and a readiness to breathe deeply. Simply wear comfortable clothing to class, bring a towel, and if you’d like, a water bottle (we offer filtered water in our studio, though to conserve and preserve the environment, we ask that you bring your own reusable bottles). You can purchase your own mat and bring it with you to class, or borrow one from our studio. Yoga is typically done barefoot.

Do I have to be very flexible to do Yoga?
You do not need to be flexible to do Yoga. In fact, the more you deepen your practice, the more flexible you can become. And, our instructors offer modifications, so that you can adjust each class to suit your specific body.

Who are your instructors?
Our instructors are a diverse group of unique individuals with varied personal and professional backgrounds. We have come together with the shared desire of creating a safe and sacred space for each person to grow to his or her fullest potential. Get to know our teachers today!

What styles of Yoga do you offer?
Mosaic features classes in Basic Vinyasa, Power Vinyasa, Restorative Yoga, Gentle Vinyasa, Advanced Asana, Forrest, and Yin Yoga infused with Reiki.

Can I do Yoga if I have health issues?
Each new student fills out a brief health questionnaire and waiver. As always, please consult your health practitioner before beginning any physical activity and remember that we are not medical professionals and will direct you to the appropriate resources to receive the care you need.

Reiki

What is Reiki?
According to Pamela Miles, author of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide, “Reiki supports our well being and strengthens our natural ability to heal by encouraging balance.” Reiki is the practice of giving subtle balancing energy to the body, in all its expressions (physical, emotional, spiritual) to go where needed for complete well-being. Typically given by trained practitioners through a light touch affecting the subtle vibrational body, Reiki encourages balance and harmony within and around.

How will I feel after receiving Reiki?
The benefits of Reiki can be both subtle and profound. Many people report reduced stress, greater concentration, improved digestion and more restful sleep. In addition, some may find that Reiki assists in deepening their meditation, drawing a deeper sense of connection to the universal source of consciousness and sense of self.

Where can I learn more about Reiki?
Mosaic offers private Reiki sessions, as well as Yoga classes designed to incorporate its healing touch. Please contact us at info@mihd.org to learn more or check out Pamela Miles’ book, Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide.

How much does a session cost?
