MONDAY

ADVANCED

A challenging class that concentrates on synchronizing the breath, bandhas, and asanas to create greater focus, strength and flexibility. It is recommended to students that have had at least three months experience with some form of flowing yoga. This class will either be the strict Primary series or some combination of the Primary and Intermediate series.

This intermediate level flowing Vinyasa class pulls from the Ashtanga yoga system, but the sequences vary depending on the general level of the students in the class. This class is open to everyone, but some prior experience with any form of Hatha yoga is recommended. There is more emphasis placed on alignment and the names of the asanas than in the Advanced class and questions are always welcome. This class will give you a feel for the dance-like flow that is unique to Ashtanga yoga.

A one-hour, $7 class designed for everyone from the absolute beginner, who would like to experience first-hand the therapeutic benefits of yoga, to the advanced practitioner who would like to come back to the beginning and move slowly through the fundamental postures and pranayama (breath control). This class is open to everybody, no matter what their level of fitness may be.

In this class we take time to explore our alignment in one particular aspect of our Hatha yoga practice. Each week there is a different theme such as forward bends, backbends, twists, gaze-points, hip-openers and so on. Anatomical terms are introduced so that students might further understand what muscles and bones are responsible for proper alignment in various poses. This class is open to all levels and variations of the more advanced postures are described in detail, it acts as a great complement to the more flowing Ashtanga based classes.
