Spotlight on Spiral Flight
Natural Awakenings -- Sep 1, 2005 -- Spotlight On… Spiral Flight! Do you ever feel that life could be better? Are you longing for something to shift life in a positive way (health, prosperity, connection)? We know the place where people find this – Spiral Flight! Georgetown’s first and one of DC’s original yoga and healing arts centers, Spiral Flight is located in a cute two-story row house in Upper Georgetown. The studio is an urban sanctuary, offering ways to promote strength, balance and flexibility through movement, meditation and therapeutic massages to soothe your soul. At Spiral Flight, there’s no heat and no hype. There is an eclectic array of offerings to relax and energize you -- classes, workshops, private or therapy sessions -- in a safe, peaceful place. Wonderful, experienced teachers and licensed, certified therapists help you overcome health challenges or create an enjoyable, proactive wellness plan. Without pressure, you can work at your own pace and have fun! Yoga for You Spiral Flight offers yoga for everyone. To relax and renew, there’s restorative yoga, where you are draped over blankets, supported as if on a cloud; and gentle yoga with easeful breathing and stretches. If you’re seeking balance or alignment, Spiral Flight offers classical Hatha yoga and heart-opening Anusara yoga. For those who prefer sweat, vinyasa classes flow you through practice. And, not for the faint of heart, Spiral Flight offers an expanded program of powerful, centering Kundalini Yoga – the “mother of yogas.” Students are guided through strong breathwork, wonderful chanting and challenging meditations. This practice cuts right to the point where you challenge yourself -- mind over matter -- a great way to shift your thoughts and, some will attest, transform you life. And for specific populations like kids, pregnant moms and seniors? Spiral Flight provides many ways to share the gift of yoga with your children. The comprehensive Radiant Child Yoga program includes classes for toddlers to teens and for families, as well as birthday parties and private sessions. The Conscious Pregnancy program supports moms with prenatal classes, classes for new babies with their moms, workshops (some for couples) and therapies for moms during the transformational, joyful journey of motherhood. Last, Spiral Flight has offerings appropriate for seniors, including gentle and senior yoga, Feldenkrais classes and sessions, and geriatric massage. Let’s Meditate Meditation is rich and varied at Spiral Flight, providing spirit-opening opportunities for new or practiced meditators. Two Swamis teach the Kriya Yoga Mediation class; this ancient predecessor to most current mediation practices exposes you to visualizations, breathwork and posture to shift energy and help your mind be more neutral and focused. There is also Mindfulness Meditation, so you can learn one-pointed focus and calm thoughts, helping you to apply mindful practice to every aspect of life. Last, in Mantra & Meditation, you experience 31-minute mediations with chanting, that focus on healing, creating prosperity or other life-enhancing topics. Along with yoga and meditation, Spiral Flight has core strengthening Pilates and therapeutic Feldenkrais for subtle body awareness. Whatever class, Spiral Flight teachers guide from the heart, opening ways for you to enjoy the juiciness of your body and spirit. People say they feel they’re at home at Spiral Flight, including the staff. After visiting, you walk out feeling good – in your body and your life.
