Introducing Yoga for Dancers!
My name is Carla Chernencoff and I will be teaching the new yoga program at Argyll School of Celtic Arts. I studied dance at the Goh Ballet and at Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and took numerous other types of dance. Later I added a yoga practice to my life and what struck me was how much of an advantage yoga would have been to my dance training if I had known about its benefits sooner.
Dancers have very specific needs and the classes you will find at Argyll are tailor made. There are as many types of yoga as there are types of dance. Our classes will focus on flexibility, injury prevention, self-esteem, and competition preparation.
These classes are also interactive. With your active participation, I will be better able to assess your abilities and progress. When students give feedback during the class I can adapt real-time to better meet the needs of the class. This is not a class where everyone simply follows the teacher in a set series of poses.
Even though these classes are designed for dancers, everyone can reap the benefits of them. They are open classes and everyone is welcome.
The summer session will run from July 6 to August 26, and students can choose either a Tuesday or Thursday evening class (or, of course, both) from 7:00 – 8:00 pm. Information regarding the fall session will follow. There will be an introductory class available for the month of June on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 pm starting June 1.

Most sincerely,
Carla Chernencoff
