Yoga Class Descriptions

Alignment Based Yoga

Classical yoga poses and breathing techniques to enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and reduce stress. Special attention paid to alignment to promote healing and build body awareness.

Gentle Yoga

Serious athletes, people with chronic conditions or limited mobility, and everyone in between can benefit from the gentle stretching, careful strengthening and breath awareness of these classes. Poses are modified to accommodate all levels, and props are used to both support and challenge students.

Yoga

A heart-centered style which powerfully blends the Universal Principles of Alignment™ with an uplifting philosophy celebrating the uniqueness of students of all levels of ability and experience.

Kundalini

Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul. No previous experience in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your very first class.

Hatha Transformation

Classes have a weekly focus on a specific theme related to the practice and experience of Hatha Yoga. Each week will emphasize a particular posture, movement or philosophy. Classes are intelligently designed to draw the practitioner deeper into the understanding of the Art and Science of Yoga.

Hatha Awareness

Particular emphasis on alignment, sequencing, and breath awareness. The effort and attention is drawn to detail within the postures, which increases concentration and focus, helping to relieve the mind and body of stress. Props may be used to help students experience the postures more fully.

Hatha Aware and Restore

Our “Hatha Awareness” class with an emphasis on restorative postures in the second half of class. Restorative postures are supportive and aide in conscious body/mind relaxation.

All Levels

Students of all levels and abilities can participate and enjoy these classes.

Level I

Focuses on basic classical yoga postures, alignment principles and breathing techniques. Newcomers to yoga should start here. Level I is also recommended for those who may wish to strengthen the foundation of their practice or who may simply want an ongoing practice that is in harmony with their level of ability.

Level II

Emphasis on deepening awareness of the body, and understanding of alignment principles. Should be able to perform the Sun Salutation series. Movements between postures are more fluid than in beginning level classes. Knowledge of the basic poses is assumed, with posture variations and breathing practices to help you deepen your experience.

Level III

For intermediate and advanced practitioners. A challenging class for those with an ongoing yoga practice. The room may be warmer. We will explore more challenging postures including: inversions, arm balances, back bends and deeper twists. Participants should already have a good understanding of proper bodily alignment and familiarity of modifications. No beginners please.
