Yoga Class Descriptions

New Students Introductory Beginning Yoga Classes

These classes are designed for those students who are new to Yoga. They are sequential and set a foundation for all of the other yoga classes. Students will explore many of the basic forms, principles of alignment, relaxation techniques, breathing practices and more. This class includes a 60 minute practice CD that reinforces some of these basic techniques. Some of our students like to repeat this series before moving on.

Level I

These are drop in classes and no registration is necessary. The classes are not sequential, and each week we will be exploring different practices that are appropriate for students with out any previous yoga experience. Postures, breath awareness, relaxation and more will be included in these classes.

Level II

These are drop in classes for students with some prior yoga experience. These classes build on the foundations set in beginning classes. Detail to form, principles of alignment and refinement of inward exploration are combined with practices of postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation.

Seniors

This class is ideal for older adults. Yoga is done with the aid and support of some props (i.e. chairs, bolsters etc) in an effort to enhance the experience of movement. Relaxation, breathing, and meditation are also an integral part of this class.

This one hour class is useful for those with Heart disease or risk factors or other stress related conditions. It is built on the Yoga Practices used in the Dean Ornish program for reversing heart disease. Techniques used will include some gentle movements, breathing practices, relaxation, meditation and imagery.
