Instructions: Hatha Yoga, Mindfulness & More on ZOOM

Success – You are enrolled in Hatha Yoga (Zoom)

 

♥  Welcome! Click here for the Zoom link needed to start class. This link is for you alone – please invite friends to register for themselves.

♥  The class link above will be emailed to you about 45 minutes prior to class time so it’s on top of the email heap. Look in your spam or promotions folder if you don’t see it.

♥  Use this Zoom Tutorial to get up to speed. If needed, download Zoom your app store now. It’s free & easy. The app has more features than using your browser to open the link.

♥ Please sign in by 6:45 pm if you are new to Zoom.  We will go over a few things like turning off & on audio, video, speaker & gallery view, etc. Here is a Tutorial on using Zoom

♥ Class starts at 7 pm on Tuesday. “Doors” close at 7:07 for security purposes. You will not be able to join if you’re late. You will still get the video after class. Each class recording is available for streaming and is valid for personal, non-commercial use for 14 days after the session happens.

♥ Use this link for yoga info and sequences.

♥ Zoom Etiquette

Before Class

  • Find a good place at home for your device (good Wi-Fi connection, etc.).
  • Charge up the batteries on your device.  Plug it in if possible.
  • Get your mat and yoga props ready.
  • Cut down on distractions by closing the door, etc.
  • Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and say hello, just like a regular class. For security purposes, “Doors” close 5-10 minutes after start time and you will not be able to join in.

During Class

  • Use “Gallery” view if you want to see the others in class who have their ‘video’ turned on. This adds to the community feel. Once class starts, use ‘speaker’ view which just shows my screen. More about this at class.
  • Security measures are in place to keep us safe.

After class

  • Watch for an email with a link to watch class again. The link is valid until the next class meets.
  • Use this link to register for more classes.  It goes to a page to register and pay with either PayPal or a credit card.

Fine Print / Agreement: Sorry, no refunds for missed classes. You will get a recording of the yoga practice (not the discussion) by email within 48 hours after class for streaming for your personal and non-commercial use only that is valid for 14 days. Stuff can happen since this is “live,” (like the Zoom (or similar) connection or audio connection/audio is bad, weather interruptions, etc.). You will be notified by email, if possible and ASAP, if a class you’re scheduled for is canceled or rescheduled.  Julie Lusk cannot be responsible for any risks whatsoever for your class participation. By enrolling and attending class, I voluntarily agree to these policies. It is understood that policies and procedures periodically change and it is the participants responsibility stay up-to-date and will abide and agree whatever is currently in place.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

General Consent / Waiver: I understand and voluntarily agree that it is my responsibility to determine and hereby certify there is no medical reason to prevent my participation in a hatha yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, or classes that focus on specific topics. I agree to take full responsibility for my health and well-being in class and will not exceed my limits. I understand that yoga involves sitting, standing, kneeling, inversions, twists, supine and prone positions, breathing ratios and patterns, and combinations of such. Information given is for information only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure anyone or anything. I do hereby indemnify Julie Lusk and Wholesome Resources from all responsibility for injury of any sort and/or loss of property to others or myself at any time, and from claims, losses or expenses which may arise out of or as a result of my participation in this class, whether it is in person, online, or a recording.  I understand that since online classes are conducted live on Zoom, weird things can happen (i.e. security issues, internet problems, recording mishaps, etc.), and agree not to hold Julie Lusk / Wholesome Resources responsible.  I agree to keep personal information shared by others confidential. I agree that it is acceptable to get periodic announcements via mail, internet, etc. I give permission to be photographed/videoed/ and otherwise recorded, which can be used, free of charge, in advertising, website, social media, audio/video recordings, etc. Sorry, no refunds.

Good luck and see you soon!

What is Meditation?

March 28, 2014 by Julie Lusk

Let’s define meditation. While guided imagery allows thoughts and feelings to occur while directing and focusing the Buddhamind in certain areas, meditation seeks to bring about a state of awareness without thinking.  This is not be to confused with attempting the impossible task of clearing and emptying the mind completely, rather, it is about becoming conscious and aware of our thoughts, feelings, physical distractions, and the other senses.  This awareness helps us cultivate acceptance, compassion and wisdom.  This is the wisdom of self understanding so an appropriate response is revealed.  The goal of meditation includes remembering and experiencing the connection between oneself and the divine.

While there are hundreds of meditation techniques, the basic elements include sitting in an upright manner with a straight, but not stiff, spine.  Taking time to bring the breath into balance and focus, and using a concentration technique are often incorporated.  Concentration calms and clears the mind of distraction making room for the meditative state.

Here are a few fundamental meditation methods.  A mantra, which is a word, sound or phrase can be silently repeated over and again; focusing attention on the sensation of the breath can be used; being mindful of the present moment is another practice; and gazing upon an object, such as a candle flame, nature scenes, or holy picture is another approach.

Coaching / Mentoring / Lessons

Most of us are stymied by stress and would love to learn effective methods to renew our energy. Coaching will help.

Together we will design a customized plan for you. This may include personalized lessons and guidance in yoga postures, yoga nidra relaxation, meditation, personalized guided imagery, visualization and relaxation, and wellness strategies.

For most, it is hard to make time to develop a practical plan and to put it into action. Others can keep to their plan, but only for a while, and then they slip back into old habits. Having information and support from someone else often makes all the difference.

Private lessons on zoom, email, and phone consultations are all options.
