Yoga at CJCC

10/19/2025

Hello,
I am offering a free online group yoga practice for those who wish to be on my mailing list. and for those who are already on my mailing list.

The free practice is going to be on next Thursday, October 23rd. The practice starts at 7:00 p.m. (EST) and it is for 1 hour. My practice is on the gentle side.

If you would like to join this free yoga practice on Oct. 23rd please email me by Oct. 22nd at makikajiura@gmail.com with the subject line "CJCC Thursday Evening Yoga Oct. 23" . I will send you a Zoom link on Oct. 23rd and add you on my mailing list.

I would suggest the participants have props handy, such as blankets, towels, strap(s), a yoga block, massage balls or tennis balls and a chair. If you don't have props such as a yoga block and a massage ball, do not worry, you might be able to use nultiple towels, blankets, or pillows and cushions instead. Even a box of facial tissues, books for a yoga block, a bathrobe strap for a yoga strap, could work depending on what we are using the props for.
Hope to see you at the practice!
Maki

Hello,
This is an invitation for online Yoga Nidra sessions.

Yoga Nidra is a guided relaxation/meditation. It calms your nervous system into parasympathetic dominance that is similar to pre-sleep rest. All you have to do is to be in your comfortable position (often in a laying down position but could be seated, standing, or even in walking) and follow my voice. I will guide you through different levels of your being (i.e. body, breath, and mind) to help you go deep into relaxation and meditation. You will be both awake and deeply relaxed at once.
Not only as a part of yoga sessions, Yoga Nidra is also used in therapeutic settings with people suffering from their past traumatic experiences.

A session will take approximately 1 hour (the guided meditation will be roughly about 30-40 minutes). The same fee for the CJCC Thursday Evening Yoga will apply but in May and June 2025 (total 10 sessions for me) I will offer sessions for free.

If you are interested, please contact me at makikajiura@gmail.com to book an appointment.

I am also offering private yoga therapy sessions either online or in-person. I will help you move with reduced compensations or without compensatory movement, by looking at your movement by how your parts relate to each other and utilising the principles of the ancient wisdom of yoga. The clients I have seen so far have increased ease in their movement, range of motion, reduced their pain, and improved their sleep. If you would like to see how you will benefit from the practice, please also contact me at makikajiura@gmail.com

Have a good weekend,
Maki

Hello,
After much thought, I would like to increase the fee for the CJCC Weekly group yoga practice.
Prices are doubled and it may seem to be a major increase. However, this is due to the rise in the costs. The costs for the Zoom Workplace account, insurance for online yoga classes, 40% donation to CJCC, and the preparation and delivery time are taken into consideration. Some of these consts were not included in the past prices.
This will take effect starting in February, 2025.

The new prices are listed below.
Member Drop in: $14
Member Prepaid Card (for 10 plus 1 bonus classes): $140
Non-Member Drop in: $16
Non-Member Prepaid Card (for 10 plus 1 bonus classes): $160

I appreciate your understanding.
