Basic Level I is designed to introduce basic yoga postures, breath and concentration techniques. Students are encouraged to work within their own unique ability and limitations. Basic with Meditation offers a mild asana (posture) flow with guided meditation. Basic Level II/Slow Flow classes build on the foundation established in Basic Level I classes by linking posture and breath into a more vigorous, moving flow. Sun salutations, backbends and inversions are explored. Vinyasa-style but in a cooler environment. Basic Backs is designed for the student looking to create and maintain a healthy spine through balance. Emphasis is on the physical, emotional and energetic characteristics that directly influence the core region of the body (back and stomach). Attention will be directed to individual needs. Dharma Classes are “by donation” community classes intended to share the essentials of mediation, basic and advanced yoga according to Buddhist traditions. Intro to Yoga Series is a system of eight (8) classes designed specifically to help introduce new students to the benefits and practice of yoga. The Series builds on each lesson to create a sense of confidence and self-reliance in the student who wants to make yoga an integral part of his or her life. Intro to Meditation Series is a system of five (5) classes designed to help introduce new and experienced students to the noble practice of seated meditation. The Series builds on each lesson to create a sense of balance, peace and calm. Perfect for students of all levels. Restorative Yoga/RestoraYin© use props to modify postures and gently open the body to deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Restorative is held the first Friday of each month; RestoraYin© held approximately every other month. Recommended for all levels. Advanced registration required. TheraYoga© is a therapeutic style of yoga designed to assist students with specific health issues and limitations, as well as those who seek to deepen their regular practices by mindfully balancing their mental and physical states through yoga therapy. Vinyasa Yoga combines breath and movement into a vigorous, challenging flow. For anyone looking to sweat, move to the music, and kick their asana up a notch or two, this class is for you (advance levels recommended). NOTE: NOTE: Class is NOT heated for “cool Vinyasa” or “Slow Flow Vinyasa.” Workshops are offered on a weekly and monthly basis to help students expand their practices, gain insight into new traditions and techniques, and fine-tune their existing understanding of yoga. Workshops include Restorative, RestoraYin©, Kundalini, Rock Asana, Yin, Iyengar, Meditation and more! Yin Yoga is a deep, soft, yet challenging practice that focuses on deeper, longer stretching and holding of postures to help open the lower back, hips and sacrum. This guided flowing class helps work with the posture to open and heal sciatica, lower back and hip muscles and joints, and serves as the perfect compliment to a Basic I, II or Flow class. Yoga for Athletes is designed to apply yoga to support faster speeds, greater mobility, fewer injuries, greater body awareness, and a calmer, sharper mind. Students will learn physical yoga postures to reach their optimum strength and flexibility for sports training.
