Gentle Yoga with Steve Unger and Darren Shartle, RYT200

Start your morning with relaxation and renewal at Gentle Yoga.

Every Tuesday at 9 AM, instructors Steve Unger and Darren Shartle lead a gentle, all-level yoga session in the museum galleries, designed for mindfulness and well-being. Participants may practice with a chair or a mat.

$8 donations suggested; a portion of every donation supports CAM’s Museum School Scholarship program for adults and youth.

Each class follows a foundational flow that builds awareness, balance, and natural movement through Heaven → Earth → Wu Ji (stillness). We open with a warm-up sequence: - Heaven (upper awareness): light posture, spinal alignment, crown openness, and relaxed breath - Earth (grounding): rooting through the feet, weight shifting, stability, and connection to the ground - Wu Ji (stillness): deep relaxation, internal quiet, and deep "ocean" breathing to center the system From there, we build the practice: - Simple foundational Tai Chi movements introduced slowly and clearly — soft stepping, relaxed coordination, natural flow - Emphasis on Wu Wei (effortless action) — movement without force or tension - Gradual linking of movements into smooth, continuous flow - Ongoing focus on balance, grounding, and whole-body awareness - Breathwork maintained throughout as a steady internal rhythm As the series progresses, we expand into deeper layers: - Energy and internal awareness development - Healing sound practices - Broader education on life force (Qi) and its relationship to the body and human experience - Deeper integration of mindfulness, breath, and movement as one unified system We close each class by returning to Wu Ji stillness — integrating the practice into everyday life: walking, standing, and daily awareness.

The goal is to build not just movement skill, but a deeper understanding of balance, internal calm, and the living energy that animates the body and human experience. ✦ Stay on for more: Pat Ulacco's Tranquil Tuesdays guided meditation begins right after at 6:00 PM in the same space — making Tuesday evenings at Station No. 2 a beautiful full practice from movement to stillness.

Beach Yoga (April - November)

Beach yoga is great for all levels. We meet on the beach at the Ocean Front Park Beach access just north of the Kure Beach Pier. The GPS address for the beach access is 110 Atlantic Avenue. Bring your own beach towel to enjoy an all levels yoga flow class on the beach. Breathe in the breath of the ocean, stretch, strengthen, and enjoy our beautiful beach with the soundtrack of the waves crashing to shore.

Take in the scenic river views while practicing exercises, breathing, and meditation designed to support balance and overall mental and physical well-being. No experience or yoga mat is needed. This is a standing-only class, with chairs available for participants who prefer them. Where the river flows, your mind slows. Registration is required here.

Feel the flow every Sunday morning at our Yoga Flow class with Jessica at 11am in the taproom. This upbeat class is open to all individuals and levels with a focus on balance, strength, and mindfulness. Each class is $10 and includes a pint for after.⁣

Namaste.

**Blue Lotus Tea**: Known for its calming and mildly euphoric effects, blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) has been revered for centuries as a sacred flower in ancient rituals. When brewed into a tea, it has a gentle sedative quality promoting relaxation and mental clarity. This tea will help open your heart and mind, facilitating a deeper connection to intuition and emotional well-being. It is often associated with the third eye chakra (Ajna) and the crown chakra (Sahasrara), however, it is capable of removing blockages throughout the chakra system.

**Meditation**: Following the tea consumption, our session leads into a guided meditation, designed to center your thoughts. The meditation involves techniques aimed at quieting the mind and facilitating a deeper connection to the present moment, inviting clarity and insight into our space.

**Sound Bath**: This sound bath uses a variety of instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums to foster harmonic vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the body’s energy centers, clearing blockages and promoting energetic balance. This resonance will help induce a deep meditative state, encouraging emotional release and healing. The gentle sounds allow for a more profound experience of peace and inner stillness.
