Class Descriptions
beginner Yoga Classes
Beginners Yoga classes will give you an introduction to yoga poses, breathing techniques, and relaxation methods. These classes will give you a gentle workout and will prepare you for more advanced classes.
yoga through the kosas
These classes are taught using the principles of BKS Iyengar. In learning to bring the body into unity with the pose using correct alignment and props, we learn to penetrate through the sheaths -- kosas -- of our being, from skin to bliss, to the true self at the heart of ourselves. These classes are excellent for beginners and for those with physical limitations.
kundalini
Kundalini classes include posture, meditation, and chanting instruction in the style created by Yogi Bhajan. The breathing techniques can be rigorous, and are meant for healthy students.
ashtanga prep
Ashtanga Prep is a class where you'll be taught this fast-paced practice at a slower rate, and learn specific safer modifications for the more difficult poses.
flow yoga
Flow Yoga links poses in a "vinyasa" style that emphasizes breath as a guide to effective, invigorating movement.
mommy and me
Mommy and Me classes are for mothers who would like to practice yoga while continuing to be with their infant.
yang/yin
Practice begins with active flow of asanas (yang) linked to the breath. Class will end with restorative poses (yin) with use of props.
viniyoga
This is a meditative style that coordinates movement with the breath. This class works with individuals' needs and abilities. The function and purpose of the pose is emphasized over the form, and instead of the use of props the pose itself is adapted.
vinyasa flow
Vinyasa flow integrates sun salutations with standing poses. This style links movement, breath and music.
yoga/kosas (all levels)
These classes, taught in the style of yoga master B.K.S Iyengar, emphasize alignment of the body. With the help of props, these classes are safe for students with injuries and are beneficial for beginners and students of all levels.
