Troubleshooting Tips for Virtual Classes:

  • Sign up ahead of time through MindBody if possible. If not, arrive 5 minutes before class to give your info to the teacher and/or to settle any payments.
  • If you have used Zoom before, just click the link for your class and you will be directly taken to the class and be ready to go. OR type the numbers in the link into the “meeting code” box.
  • If you are new to Zoom, check it out on your computer first to see if you need to download any software. If you are using a smartphone or ipad, you need to download the app.
  • Here is a demo that takes you through these steps:
    https://youtu.be/vFhAEoCF7jg
  • Here is a demo if you are having trouble with getting your audio or video working: https://youtu.be/HqncX7RE0wM

Here’s what to expect:

  • You will be on camera so that the teachers can see and respond to you and your needs. If you prefer to not be on camera, you may turn off that feature after checking in, just know that the teacher won’t be able to speak to you personally.
  • Please set up your camera in a way that the teacher can see you during the practice or adjust it accordingly depending on whether you are seated, lying down or standing.
  • Our teachers will be planning sequences that require no additional props or only things that could be generally found at home. If you have your own props such as yoga blocks and blankets, please feel free to use them.
  • Once practice begins, everyone will be muted, so there will be no external noise, only the instruction by the teacher. If you have a question, you can wave (or unmute yourself) to get the teacher’s attention.
  • You will be able to make the teacher the only screen you see or you can have a gallery view to see all your other class mates.

Holland LeDelia

Holland LeDelia

Owner, Yoga & Meditation, GYROTONIC®, GYROKINESIS®, & Pilates Instructor
Born and raised in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Holland spent most of her early life right on the same plot of land where Eastern Livity’s main building is currently under construction! She is happy to return to the South after more than a decade of calling New York City home. Holland earned her full STOTT PILATES® Certification in 2004 as she simultaneously graduated with a degree in Musical Theatre from Missouri State University. Since then, she has been lead further into the field of wellness and in 2011 received her 200 Hour Vinyasa Yoga Certification in NYC. She has been fortunate enough to practice many styles of yoga (Hot, Power, Vinyasas, Hatha, Dynamic Hatha, Anusara, Restorative) with teachers all over the US and draws from her experiences to find what most helps her students deepen their Yoga practice.

In 2013, Holland and Jonathan joined forces and began to live a Zero Waste Lifestyle in St.Thomas, USVI, and continued to carry what they learned with them wherever they traveled or lived. Now they enjoy sharing what they learned with others and they feel that caring for the Earth and living in harmony with nature is at the core of Easter Livity.

Holland has completed additional training in Pre/Post–Natal Yoga (Prenatal Yoga Center NYC 2013) and Meditation (World Yoga Center NYC 2013/14) and 300-hour Advanced Yoga Training (Circle Yoga Shala 2018).

Holland has also been trained in GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercise and is excited to be one of the first to bring these methods to the South!

She is a new mommy and caring for her sweet daughter, Luna, is currently how she spend her time outside of EL! She looks forward to spending more time in their organic garden and learning more foraging wild foods. She is a member of the Jonesboro Chamber Green Business Committee and the NEA Master Naturalist organization.

When taking a class or having a private session with Holland, expect a positive and fun interaction that will take you farther down your path of physical, mental oand spiritual wellness. Read more on Holland’s Mindfulness blog: www.countrygalcitygal.com

People from all walks of life including accomplished athletes, fitness enthusiasts, senior citizens, and people recovering from an injury or dealing with a disability take GYROKINESIS®  classes. By the end of a GYROKINESIS® session, one’s entire system is awakened and brought into greater balance.

In this workshop, all your supplies will be provided for you and you will have the choice of natural wood and seed bead varieties of Rudraksha, Bodhi, Jerusalem Olivewood, Sandelwood, Redwood and Rosewood. We will teach the traditional technique of knotting between each bead or you can choose to string without knots.

You will also receive instruction on how to use your completed necklace for mediation or prayer and will be able to bring it back to EL for future Mala Mediation practices!

The Pyramids of Power will help increase flexibility, improve body awareness and generally get you moving better and with ease. They will help you help yourself!
