CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Yoga Basics - 4 week intro to yoga series
This series of classes is geared towards students new to yoga- more experienced yogis are welcome to attend to relearn the basics of yoga. Students will learn about the structure of a yoga class, breathing techniques to deepen awareness and relaxation, and basic poses to increase flexibility and strength. After taking this series, students are encouraged to take Level 1 yoga.
Level 1
Learn the fundamentals of basic postures and yogic breathing. Class begins on the floor with a centering and is marked by a soft flowing style. Special attention is paid to easing into postures and finding proper alignment. Class ends with a final, deep relaxation.
Level 1-2
A moderately-paced class that focuses on proper alignment and blending breath with movement. Previous yoga experience is required.
Level 2
For those wishing to deepen their practice. Using a flowing style, emphasis will be on moving into backbends, arm balances, and inversions. Deeper versions of poses will be offered for more advanced practitioners. Recommended for students with at least 6 month previous yoga training.

Flow Yoga
Flow Yoga links poses together in a fluid style with a focus on alignment to create maximum benefit and ease in each posture. The class provides a well-balanced practice of standing and seated postures, breathing, and meditation. Variations will be provided for students of various levels and abilities.
Gentle/Restorative Yoga
Suitable for any level student wanting to unwind quietly in the middle of the work week, beginners, and students with some restricted movement or minor health conditions (with doctor's approval). Incorporating the Anusara principles of alignment, this class will focus on mindful stretching, breathing techniques, and use of props to allow us to release, relax, and gently bring ourselves into alignment with our true nature.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga includes a vigorous workout that differs each week, and ends
with a meditation that also differs each week. Through rapid movements, deep
stretching, challenging poses, working with sound vibrations, healing breathwork
and deep meditation, we will rejuvenate the body's systems, mind and spirit.
Students will leave class feeling peaceful and prosperous, ready to take on
life's challenges. Class is open to all levels - beginners and experienced
students.
