Beginner class: This class focuses on learning the basic asanas (poses) and learning to breath in a relaxed manner. The class format is : slow warming of the body, standing postures, balance and deeper stretches. We finish with 8-10 minutes of relaxation.
Mixed level: This class is designed for those with a knowledge of the basics and want to develop more strength in the postures. We use sun salutations to further warm the body and ujjayi breathing to self monitor the quality of our breath. This allows us to focus our attention.
Vinyasa: This class focuses more on the flowing style of yoga. We use one breath per movement during the flowing series and at other times we remain in postures for longer periods to go deeper. Sun salutations and ujjayi breath are the main features of this style. Not appropriate for beginners.
Teen Yoga: It is geared toward the middle school and high school student that is interested in an introduction to yoga. Learn the basic asanas, relaxed breathing and more. If you participated in any of my yoga classes at the public or private schools or the dance academy and enjoyed it, you'll really enjoy the opportunity to practcie in a studio setting! Bring a favorite music CD, we may be able to use it in class.
Gentle Yoga: This class is appropriate for all levels. We use props to assist us, such as blocks, straps and bolsters.
Hot Yoga: This classes practices in a heated/humidified room using the 4 basic principles of pranayama, drishti, bandhas and vinyasa (Breath, focus, belly locks and flow). Basic knowledge of the asanas and sun salutations is helpful.
