July and August Virtual Classes
3-part Wednesday Series:
GYROKINESIS® Flow with Props (All Levels)
8-9am Pacific Time | Live on Zoom
Join SOURCE STUDIO from the comfort of your own home! The GYROKINESIS® method is a movement method that gently works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original, and unique movement practice which has roots in Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics, and dance.
As part of this package, you'll also receive access to a recording of each class within 24 hours. The recording will be available for 1 week after that.
*Class is recorded using a separate device - it is not a zoom recording. Recording is of higher quality and you can see and hear only the instructor (no students - to maintain student’s privacy.)
**Scroll down for a list of home equipment that you will need to participate in class.

3-part Wednesday Series:
Balance Classes (All Levels)
8-9am Pacific Time | Live on Zoom
Open up your feet and improve your posture, strength, and balance in these hour long classes.
We often take good balance for granted, until it is affected by injury, disease, and/or the aging process. Your sense of balance comes from many different systems working together to create stability of your body. In this class series, we work to challenge and integrate these different components of balance, we work on strengthening and flexibility exercises to improve your balance by working the muscles that keep you stable, and you will learn short sequences you can practice on our own as regular balance training is necessary for improvement. Additionally, you can practice multiple times with the class recording!
Balance exercises can benefit people of any age and can be practiced every day. Improved balance makes daily activities, such as walking on stairs, carrying heavy items, and suddenly changing directions, easier. Developing good balance helps to improve your overall health and fitness levels. Balance exercises are important for reducing injury risk, and for recovering from injuries (such as a sprained ankle). Athletes can benefit from balance training to help them maintain balance during their sport activity. Because a loss of balance is often a normal part of aging, balance training is especially important for seniors to prevent the risk of injury and falls.
As part of this package, you'll also receive access to a recording of each class within 24 hours. The recording will be available for 1 week after that.

The Lotus Journal
A SPECIAL BONUS GIFT WHEN YOU JOIN OUR MAY CLASS SERIES
The Lotus Journal is a year-long practice tool created by artist and life coach Sharna Fabiano. As part of SOURCE STUDIO’s May class packages, you will receive a complementary digital subscription to the Lotus Journal, with one “page” emailed to you every week with one piece of original artwork, one question, and one healing activity like the sample below:
Question 1: What does my body need?
Activity 1: Constructive Rest
Lie down on the floor on a yoga mat or blanket. Bend your knees upward toward the ceiling until your feet are flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Rest your arms down by your sides. If you wish, place a pillow or folded towel under your head. Close your eyes. Imagine the soles of your feet softening and sinking into the floor. Visualize the same for the back of your pelvis, then your middle back, shoulder blades, and head. Relax your jaw. Rest like this for 5-10 minutes.
