Welcome to Red Mountain!

About Red Mountain
We warmly invite you to our Greene Street studio. It is a beautiful space with hardwood floors, high ceilings and lots of natural light. The skylights and mezzanines add a special quality to the character of the space.

The Yoga room is open, spacious and serene. You enter it through an interior doorway with hand-carved Indian woodwork. Leaving your cares (and shoes) behind, you walk into a sanctuary complete with large gong, sari curtains, plants, candles and pictures of saints. A world away located just minutes from your neighborhood.

The Pilates room is active & colorful. Your attention goes right away to the equipment. If you're new to Pilates (as many people are), then the equipment names may sound funny: Cadillac, Reformer/Pole Combos, Chair, Barrel, etc. Don't worry, you will learn it all over time and soon you will join the ever-growing league of Pilates fans. Like them, you will love the way Pilates makes you feel: long, lean, toned, flexible, open, strong and energized.


		The story behind the name "Red Mountain Yoga"

Patrick:		"The story behind our name is like the story behind much of what we do together. Namely, Deborah's insight and intuition lead us to 'just the right thing' that later turns out to be logical and sensible."

Deborah:		"Patrick wanted to call it 'Inner Light Yoga.' It sounded good but somehow it didn't quite fit. Then, while driving past the red earth of the Northern California hillsides, I thought of the name 'Red Mountain Yoga'."

Patrick:		"After Deborah suggested 'Red Mountain Yoga,' I told her that my 7th-grade Latin teacher had said that our last name, Redmond, is 'Rubrimontanus' or 'Red Mountain.' Therefore, I thought it was a great name."

Deborah:		"I like the name because it sounds earthy & majestic and that's what Yoga is like. In Yoga, we work to become grounded in the world (earthy) and inspired towards a higher purpose (majestic)."

Patrick:		"After choosing our name, we learned that the great Indian saint & yogi - Ramana Maharshi - lived most of his life in a cave in the "Red Hill" or "Red Mountain" called Arunachala. To this day, Arunachala remains one of India's sacred pilgrimage sites. Surely an auspicious sign."

Deborah Redmond, MA, MFT
Deborah grew up in Los Angeles as a contemplative child. She yearned to understand the nature of the human condition. Encouraged by her spiritual grandfather, she spent many hours studying philosophy, psychology and religion. In 1985, her father introduced her to an Indian Yoga teacher. After 8 years with her first teacher, Deborah studied and practiced with other teachers and developed her own teaching style. Using heart, intuition and a keen ability to integrate and simplify healing arts, she helps people experience lasting personal transformations.

Patrick Redmond
As a teenager, Patrick longed for deeper meaning in life. Then, his father died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 49. This led Patrick to become a vegetarian. A few years later, while buying his groceries at Avatar's Golden Temple in New Cumberland, PA, he saw a flyer for Siri Neel Singh Khalsa's Kundalini Yoga classes. Feeling a "natural high" from his first class, he found that Yoga offered a holistic way to inner peace. Now in his 40's himself, Patrick teaches Yoga and Pilates.

What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient and living science of personal development that can be approached on many levels.


	•	A Dynamic Practice to Strengthen & Tone the Body
	•	A Method to Manage Stress & Steady the Mind
	•	A Therapy for Healing Acute & Chronic Conditions
	•	A Spiritual Path to Higher States of Consciousness

Yoga can include flowing movements, still postures, breath control and techniques of healing, relaxation & meditation. Yoga is a science that asks us to explore and experiment for ourselves with our own personal practices. From the mundane to the miraculous, in Yoga we are guided to find our own truth of its effectiveness.

What is Pilates?
Pilates is a mindful, precise form of progressive, low impact exercise developed by the late Joseph Pilates. In Pilates, we focus on uniform development of the body. We emphasize abdominal control and pelvic stabilization as foundational support for the other work. With regular practice, we develop long, strong & flexible muscles, core power and improved posture. Pilates promotes a healthy spine, remedies physical imbalances and often alleviates chronic physical conditions. There are over 500 Pilates exercises that are performed either on a mat or on various pieces of spring-based equipment including The Cadillac, The Reformer, The Pole System, The Barrel and The Chair.

With regular practice, Yoga & Pilates helps you:

	•	Increase Your Energy Level
	•	Improve Your Ability To Relax
	•	Balance and Stabilize Your Emotions
	•	Improve Your Posture and Alignment
	•	Develop Your Awareness of How You Are Patterned
	•	Work for Beneficial Changes in Your Patterning
	•	Increase Muscular and Joint Flexibility
	•	Increase Mental Clarity and Focus
	•	Strengthen and Tone Your Muscles
	•	Improve Your Balance and Coordination
	•	Create a Feeling of Well-Being and Inner Peace
	•	Stimulate the Internal Organs
	•	Improve Your Digestion
	•	Increase Oxygen and Blood Circulation
	•	Reduce High Blood Pressure

What is Red Mountain Yoga?
Red Mountain Yoga is a joyful, spiritual blend of Hatha, Raja & Tantra Yoga that focuses on individual experience, personal growth & integrating Yoga into daily life. The physical practices, grounded in Hatha Yoga & Pilates, are designed in elegant, flowing sequences with functional adaptations to accommodate different needs & body conditions. These practices result in a healthy body, clear mind and balanced emotions. Working from this stable base, we can integrate the lasting effects of Yoga's deeper spiritual practices and experiences. Whether in private sessions or group classes, Red Mountain Yoga emphasizes the eight-limbed path of Raja Yoga and the subtle energy teachings of classical Tantra Yoga.

Class Schedules

Red Mountain Yoga Sadhana
Yoga originated in India as a living art & science to purify, transform & integrate body, mind & spirit. It is a deeply spiritual path, yet it is not a religion. It strengthens connection to self, others & the mystical truths of enlightenment. Yoga in America has been popularized as a mindful form of exercise. This is helpful, yet Yoga is so much more. In Classical Raja Yoga, asanas or postures are only one of the eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

At Red Mountain, you will learn Yoga Philosophy & Yoga Psychology; methods to purify your physical & subtle energy bodies; Tantra Yoga concepts including resonance, energy pathways & chakras; sacred Sanskrit chants; breathing techniques that calm, energize and/or balance; techniques of sense withdrawal, concentration & meditation; and plenty of Yoga postures to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, immunity, etc.

Your instructors, Deborah Redmond, Patrick Redmond & Michelle Donah are devoted to studying, practicing and teaching all aspects of Yoga. Deborah has been practicing Yoga since 1985, teaching since 1993 and training teachers since 1999. Patrick has been practicing since 1987 and teaching since 1999. Michelle has been practicing since 1997 and teaching since 2005.

These classes are ongoing and you may see experienced students performing the various practices. This can help because often learning is a visual process and seeing more experienced students can help motivate you as you begin or resume your own practice. We recommend new students attend a Foundations Class (information below).

Class Descriptions


Foundations:		If you are new to Yoga and/or Red Mountain, then we highly recommend you schedule one of these 45-minute Saturday morning classes (offered at 12 Noon by appointment.) You will learn how to feel comfortable as you get started into the regular classes including: how to customize classes for your body by using props such as knee pads, blankets, pillows, support lifts, etc. and how to perform the four purifications. You will have the opportunity to learn sacred Sanskrit chants. You will learn some asanas and modifications. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions. If time allows, then you will learn a brief overview of the major texts used for Classical Yoga Philosophy & Integrated Yoga Psychology. Cost is $20. By appointment on Saturdays at 12 Noon. From 1 to 5 students.

Gentle:		Increase your energy and soothe your soul. These slower-paced classes are for students who prefer a softer approach. Also excellent for people working to get back into shape and/or lose weight as well as active older adults. (NOTE: You must be able to sit down on a mat, stand up from a mat, move into and out of positions & hold your body in positions without assistance.)

Intermediate:		Intensify your practice. These classes are for students in good shape who can learn at a steady pace and who are ready to try more challenging asanas including sun salutations & inversions.


Going Deeper:		Expand and deepen your practice with this more inward-focused class. Flow-style sequences are adapted to accommodate seasoned regulars and fit beginners. Come celebrate the amazing transformations that are possible through Yoga. (Not suitable for students who physically require our Gentle Level class.)

PILATES REFORMER/HALF CADDIE CLASSES
Discover Your Optimum Body!
The late Joseph Pilates (1880-1967) grew up as a sickly child with rickets and asthma. With persistent effort, he pursued various forms of fitness until he not only completely healed & strengthened himself but also became a model of health, strength and vitality. Along the way, he created the equipment & the precise, mindful form of exercise known today as Pilates (he called it Contrology). In New York, he and his wife Clara worked with many dancers & actors. After his death, his protégés continued his work. Today people from all walks of life practice Pilates for health, strength & vitality.

At Red Mountain, Clinical Director Deborah Redmond carefully designs and/or approves all class sequences and continuously works to improve the exercises & instructions.
