CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

ALL LEVEL

Students of all levels are invited to join these classes.  Clear instruction is given in breathing technique, warm-up and posture flow.  New students will develop body awareness, posture alignment and core strength in basic poses, while experienced students are encouraged to explore advanced variations in familiar postures.  Everyone works to his or her own ability and comfort level.

ASHTANGA ALL LEVEL

Ashtanga Yoga is a vigorous, flowing vinyasa practice. While not a more "advanced" style of yoga, (beginners are welcome) it often draws those looking for a more physically challenging pace.  Ashtanga Yoga connects movement with breadth in a dynamic series of postures done with a calm focused attention, for strength, flexibility and a quiet mind. 

BEGINNER

This class is designed as an introduction to the practice of  yoga. Class is slower paced than an all-levels class, and focused on developing clear and safe alignment in foundational poses.

BEGINNER FUNDAMENTALS

We are all on a different path--whether you are brand new to yoga or trying to reawaken your "beginner's mind," Take the time to build your yoga foundation and enjoy the journey!
INTERMEDIATE
Go beyond the basics and discover new challenges in our intermediate level yoga classes.  You will be guided through postures that require sustained concentration and muscle support.  You will learn the correlation between breath and movement, adding vitality to your practice and help you build strength, flexibility and balance.

PURE YIN

Pure yin is a healthy, mindful complement to more rigorous flow yoga, and an ideal starting place for new practitioners. Yin postures are practiced seated or laying on the floor and held for 3-5 minutes, allowing the musculature to relax and release into each pose. Beginning exactly where you are feels different for every body, and dedication to yin practice transforms flexibility over time by freeing up the tight connective tissue capsules that form around the muscles and joints. Guided holds in each posture offer an opportunity for inner reflection, meditation, and peace. Emerge from this practice feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually renewed. Suitable for all levels.

RESTORATIVE

Restorative yoga is a gentle, calming, therapeutic kind of yoga that uses props to support the body as it eases into relaxation and balance. This meditative practice cultivates a necessary balance between body and mind while dissolving physical and mental tension. For any level student seeking to reduce the effects of stress, including students working with injury, or sensitivity.
