Whether you are experiencing Yoga for the first time or fine tuning your practice, you will find these sessions to be gentle and a slower-paced approach to the ancient art of Hatha Yoga. Focus on breathing techniques and proper alignment and find harmony and balance from the inside out. Experience the benefits of yoga without the physical demands of the flowing classes. All levels welcome.
vinyasa flow
Practitioners are guided through a dynamic, physical, and powerful flowing sequence of Ashtanga-based poses that blend breath and movement. Each session is unique, designed as a meditation in motion, and accompanied by music. These sessions are kept light-hearted, are fast paced and challenging – in a good way! Be prepared to sweat! Verbal cueing is kept to a minimum, prior yoga experience is necessary, and familiarity with the Ashtanga Primary Series is recommended.
ashtanga yoga I
An introduction to Ashtanga Yoga, a style of Hatha Yoga from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. Ashtanga Yoga I emphasizes the fundamentals of the Primary Series. Begin with Ujjayi Pranayama (breathing), move through Surya Namaskara A and B (sun salutations), standing and seated poses, finishing poses, and complete the session with Savasana (final relaxation pose). This style of Yoga can be physically intense, so you will learn to modify more challenging poses and adjust them to your comfort level. Adventurous beginners on up.
ashtanga II
Experience the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga – sun salutations, standing and seated poses, back bends, inversions, finishing poses, and Savasana. Progressive techniques of breath and movement will cleanse, stretch and strengthen the body as well as focus and calm the mind. This style of Yoga is physically intense so be prepared to sweat and have fun! You will increase your flexibility, stamina, strength, and awareness. Intermediate to advanced practitioners welcome.
