Yo-Chi with Jo Rytter
Yo-Chi is being offered by Jo Rytter at the Wellness Studio in Tryon every Tuesday at 10 am. http://cloveracupuncture.comJo is a certified Kripalu Movement and Yo-Chi Instructor. She has also completed the Golden Hearts: Senior Fitness Training. Jo has been teaching various exercise/movement classes for the past 18 years. Below is a class description:
A Yo-Chi class begins upright by focusing on the breath, deep yogic breathing, inhaling from the belly, up past the heart center, holding in the throat chakra for 1 second, then exhaling deep and long down the body, down the legs, through the soles of the feet, anchoring the body with Mother Earth. After centering and grounding the body with the breath (Chi, Qi), the body and mind continue to gather the Qi through movement combining yoga and Tai Chi in a fusion flow. The floor component of Yo-Chi merges many yoga asanas together. Sometimes we end the class on the floor and go into Tranquility, other times we work upright and work with more Yo-Chi flows.
A Yo-Chi class is done to beautiful, meditative music created by the instructor.
