Class Descriptions

Gentle Yoga- Classes are presented at a more relaxed pace, suitable for those who are working through or recovering from illness, surgery, injury or physical disability. This class is also suitable for expecting mothers who are new to yoga or those who wish to take level I classes at a more gentle pace.

Level I Beginners- Learn the basic principles of hatha yoga with an introduction to asana (postures), focusing on structure and alignment through use of props when necessary, and working with breath. Focus is on basic standing postures, forward and beginner backward bends, twists and restorative poses. You will also start to build a foundation for meditation.

Level II Intermediate- This class is for students who have completed the Level I course and wish to deepen their practice. Greater attention is given to alignment and structure as we build upon Level I asanas into deeper, more advanced levels of the postures.

There is more advanced breath work and meditation as well as an introduction to inversions.

Level III Continuing- This class is for those continuing from Level II. Strength is built in previously learned asanas to move into more advanced and challenging poses, sequences and deeper mediation.

Vinyasa/Kettle Bell- Suitable for any level. Vinyasa, or "flow" yoga, involves a sequencing of asanas to bring warmth and heat into the body. In this class you will use 3-lb kettlebells while doing traditional yoga poses. It is designed to tone and sculpt the body while linking movement with breath, allowing for extra length and depth in each pose. In this intense yet easy-to-follow class, you will complement your regular yoga practice while pushing your strength and flexibility to new heights.

Meditation- A forty-five minute, drop-in class focused entirely on relaxation and meditation.

Everyone is welcome (no prior experience is needed).

Family and Children's Yoga- Children's yoga is offered on the second Saturday of each month, 11:00-11:45am. $15 per parent and child. Recommended for ages 4-9.

It is a more casually structured class where fun is the main focus. Games and stories as well as brief meditation exercises and relaxation practice may be offered.

Yoga Nidra (yoga sleep) - This class helps to reduce the physical, mental and emotional tension brought about by modern life.

Yoga nidra is equivalent to four hours of restful sleep. Everyone is welcome to take this class since no previous yoga experience is necessary. Registration is required.

Tai Chi - An internal martial art, Tai Chi teaches mental focus, while emphasizing coordination, balance, relaxation, and proper breathing. At all levels, Tai-Chi is said to regulate the central nervous system and helps prevent stress, high blood pressure, and heart problems. You may also see this written as Taijiquan or T'ai Chi Ch'uan, but they are spelling variations of the same thing. Beginners start with silk reeling exercises and learn the 18 step Essence Form. Class is taught by Shifu Billy Greer. For a full description of the benefits of tai chi, click here.
