Yoga Class Descriptions: Absolute Beginner - for the uninitiated and curious. An introduction and overview to the fundamentals of yoga practice. One class per week for 5 Saturday classes. Absolute Beginner is offered each season. Registration for our Fall Session will begin in June and will run each Saturday from October 2nd until October 30th. (Please note: come prepared for a workout and begin to develop muscles you may not have known you had. Some of the postures you will be introduced to may prove challenging.) Please be aware, available space for these classes fills up during the registration period and people are turned away. We will only be able to guarantee your reservation with pre-payment. Gentle - for anyone seeking a slower, meditative experience. Postures are approached with great care and allow the student to gradually explore their flexibility at an unhurried pace. Recommended for students with recovering injuries. No previous experience necessary. Basics - for new yogis. The basic postures of yoga are explained and explored with an emphasis on alignment and breath. Beginner/Intermediate - the next step for students wanting to expand their exposure to asana practice to include more varied and slightly more energetic postures with an emphasis on alignment and breath. Intermediate/Advanced - a more challenging class for experienced students as well as beginners with a higher fitness level to explore more ambitious standing and seated asanas, inversions and balance postures. Parent & Me - For preschool aged children and their parent/adult to learn about yoga and have fun together. The class will focus on "animal" poses and sounds, songs and story time/meditation. Each aspect of class is intended to promote well being, kindness and happiness. Ashtanga - A more active system of yoga, also commonly referred to as "Power Yoga", Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga focuses on a set series of poses repeated each class. Designed to exhaust the body both physically and mentally, the mind is allowed to empty of daily stresses and focus in a more meditative way while purifying the body and increasing its strength and flexibility. Good Morning Yoga - Intended for the early riser. Welcome your day with a yoga class gentle on your body and mind. Yin/Yang Yoga - Yin/Yang Yoga provides the benefits of a balanced practice of both Yin and Yang styles of yoga in one class. The class will begin with energizing movement to strengthen the muscles and wake up the mind, and then move to a Yin series. The Yin poses will be longer-holding, passive poses to encourage flexibility and energy (chi) flow and will support a more contemplative, non-reactive quality of mind. WORKSHOPS and SPECIAL EVENTS:
No drop-in attendance. Class cards and monthly membership will not cover class fee.
