Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center Classes

I have some important news to share. After 20 years of teaching yoga at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, I'm announcing my official retirement. It has been a great run and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Many of you have been coming to my Rec Center classes for a good part of those 20 years and it feels like family. But everything has a season, and for me, it's time to move on and make room for others. I will continue to teach my Monday evening class at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church, located at 367 Cedar Blvd.  Additionally, you can always enjoy Janet Tant yoga classes through the Monthly Subscription Program or private sessions.

This is a meditative flow to include breath, stretch and balance which helps unwind the tensions of the day, getting us ready for a good night's sleep.

Yoga Nidra

Setting aside time to rest and unplug is vital for our well-being especially in these times.  Yoga Nidra is designed to help us relax deeply and completely, benefiting the body’s systems. This ancient technique is a systematic process of deep relaxation that can help remove stress and internal tension. I’ll be offering a Yoga Nidra class on Monday, December 9, 2024, 7-8:15 PM. In-person at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church or on Zoom. Let us know if you would like to take the class on Zoom so we can send you a link. Use your class card or sign up as a walk-in here. All are welcome!

Restorative

Restorative yoga is a practice that reduces stress and improves health. All postures are done in a passive manner with the support of props such as blankets and bolsters. You will have the opportunity to linger quietly in these soothing and well supported postures. The power of restorative yoga lies in its ability to nurture ones own healing processes. This class may be purchased as a private session for one or two people. Please inquire.

Somatics

Somatic movement is one which is performed consciously with the intention of focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or result of the movement. The word somatic means “of or relating to the living body,” and it has long been used in medical terminology. The term somatic education was coined by Thomas Hanna. Hanna used the term somatic education to describe methods of sensory-motor education that use somatic movement to improve motor control and change learned muscular patterns. Many people find somatic movement education methods to be highly effective in relieving chronic pain, improving bodily function, and recovering from common musculoskeletal conditions. My yoga therapy training included Hanna Somatics training. I personally have found this to be a very powerful movement modality. It is so subtle but by doing it on a regular basis I’ve noticed common little aches and pains that have just disappeared over time.

I offer two different trainings on Somatics.

Level One Somatics: This class teaches the Daily Somatic Movement Series as created by Thomas Hanna, the somatics pioneer. Doing this series over time will increase flexibility and ease of movement. Somatic Movement engages your brain and teaches you how to re-educate the muscles to let go of chronic tension brought about by habits, injuries or accidents. The movements are gentle, natural and remarkably effective. Because of Covid and my small studio space I’ll only be offering this as a private training.

Level Two Somatics: Level Two somatic training is for those who have completed the Level One training. In the Level Two class we will introduce a new somatic movement each week focusing on ways of hydrating and releasing facial tension. Each class will begin with the basic somatic movement series as a warm-up and then we will move on to more advanced moves. This class requires a regular practice of the Daily Somatic Movement series. Because of Covid and my small studio space I’ll only be offering this as a private training.
