Restorative Yoga
This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from the body and mind. We use props to support the postures, while gently stretching and strengthening the body. This class is appropriate for students of all levels.
Yoga 1
This class is designed for beginners. Classes introduce the student to the basic principles of alignment,
while stretching and strengthening the body. We emphasis stretching
the hamstrings, hips, shoulders and spine, with focus on the standing poses.
Yoga 1-2
Classes are for students who have completed Level 1. Focus is on refinement
of the basics, and introduction to revolved standing poses, inversions, deeper
backbends and other more advanced postures. We slowly learn and integrate
these postures, gaining confidence to move up to Level 2.
Yoga 2
Classes are designed for students who feel competent in practicing the Level 1-2 asanas and are ready for more advanced postures and variations.
Yoga 2-3
Classes are offered for students having practiced yoga for a minimum
of 2 years and who are ready to move into a deeper, more refined practice.
Emphasis will be on holding postures for longer periods of time, and learning
more advanced postures and variations.
Yin/Yang Yoga
These classes combine yin yoga (a passive practice targeting organ health through gently stressing meridian lines) with yang yoga which builds strength and stamina. These classes weave in yoga philosophy during the practice and close with a short meditation.
Yoga for Men (Please us the "Workshops" tab when purchasing this class)
Is yoga challenging you due to tight hamstrings and tight shoulders? Would you like to add some flexibility into your health maintenance regime? Would you like to reduce your stress level?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, come to this class focused on the specific issues that challenge many men in yoga. We will practice ways to open the shoulders and hamstrings as well as find ways to reduce stress through a variety of postures. Yoga calls on both our strength and flexibility, both of which we will practice. This class is designed for the beginning student to learn how to modify poses appropriately, and for the intermediate student who is working with his edge.
Pre-Natal & Birth Prep
This class is designed specifically for expectant moms. Traditional yoga postures will be used, helping with many of the common aches and pains of pregnancy. Students can join at any stage of their pregnancy and can begin at any time during the session (pro-rated). No prior experience necessary.
Post-Natal
Women who have had a normal delivery can attend 4-6 weeks following the birth. After a caesarian women should wait until 8 weeks following the birth. All babies should come to class with their mothers until they start crawling, at which time the women should switch over to a regular yoga class.
