YOGA CLASSES & SESSIONS
You'll find our methodology to be respectful, supportive and directed at restoring your balance, health and wellbeing. Classes are kept small so that each student receives individual instruction and individual adjustments. Since 1994, we have fostered a warm and close-knit community of yogis attuned to each others’ needs. We are never dogmatic and always committed to innovation and creativity in teaching.
​
​We ask that our students make a weekly commitment to their practice for a full session, as our systematic and progressive method introduces the practices of asana or postures and pranayama gradually. This ensures that awareness, consciousness and understanding is deepened and that postures are done properly, guarding against the unsafe practice of yoga. Since classes are taught as part of a session, the fee is determined by the number of weeks in each session.
BEGINNER YOGA
Mondays, 9:30 - 11:00 am; Wednesdays, 7:30 - 9:00 pm
This class is designed to focus on the fundamental postures of yoga, ensuring that you have the tools you need to maintain a safe and supportive practice. Elemental classes use a systematic and progressive method to introduce postures gradually, ensuring that the foundation of your practice is built on proper body alignment and sequencing while developing stability, strength, mobility and flexibility.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
This gentle, therapeutic style of yoga uses props (rope wall, bolsters, blankets, chairs, benches, pillows, blocks and belts) to create completely supported resting poses and exact alignment. There is a prolonged holding of simple poses with deep and quiet breathing. Working with breath and visualization, you quiet the brain, move inward and reach a state of equanimity.
