Tomariken Yoga

Introduction: Tomariken Yoga is a yoga business in Andover, MA. Tomariken Yoga is run by Chris Miyachi, a registered yoga teacher at the 500-hour level and is currently enrolled in an Iyengar teacher training program. Chris's classes awaken the core of your body with a strong focus on body alignment. Overused and underused tissues of the body will be cared for in each class. Alignment-based yoga is a study which uses movement, stillness, concentration, release and abandon to help you get and stay in touch with yourself. There is detailed instruction, intelligence and a deep awareness of alignment. Teachers use props to help beginners or those with physical limitations to experience the poses more fully. In this class, we will learn correct alignment and breathing while introducing a full-range of yoga postures – standing, seated, twists, forward bends and back bends. Inversions will be introduced when the student is ready. Rejuvenation Sundays: 8:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. at Union Studio Yoga in Andover, MA. Start your week with the perfect combination of self massage, hands-on adjustments, strengthening and deep restorative relaxation. This class combines Yoga Tune Up® Fitness Therapy for Everyday Living and classical yoga poses. This 'whole body' longevity fitness system integrates a blend of innovative sequences derived from classical yoga, calisthenics and body therapy. Designed to tone, stretch and strengthen, as well as regenerate and heal damaged or aging muscle fibers, this unique program is focused on keeping you strong, healthy and active. Learn the nuts and bolts of human movement and anatomy in this challenging, but accessible practice that's not just for yogis!   Private instruction: Yoga classes are a very effective way of learning and practicing yoga, though yoga remains very much an individual practice. There are times when it is appropriate for a student of yoga to consider private instruction. Such times include when a student is just getting started with yoga, has concerns about previous injuries or is recovering from illness, seeks to overcome plateaus in their practice, or is pregnant and would like to learn asana modifications. Individual or group yoga instruction is available by appointment with Chris at UUCIA or at your home or office. What you get: A pre-consultation over the phone or in-person class designed for your individual needs with individual adjustments specific to what you want to work on. A typed-up 1 or 1 1/2-hour class that we will do together that you can do again on your own is available for an additional $50. Rates: $70/hour; $100 for 1 1/2 hours.
