Yoga Class Descriptions

A balanced combination of sustained poses with attention to basic alignment and therapeutic principals. Mindfulness; observing breath and body (triputi) are an integral part of class. This style of yoga provides a great stretch and strengthens the body.

This class will include breathe play, pranayama, lots of body, mind and breathe awareness warm ups, followed by traditional asanas and gentle somatic yoga flows.

This class includes pranayama practices; warm ups that integrate mind, body and breathe connections (Triputi). Then either gentle flowing asanas, or workshopped poses to grow our practice from the inside out and gentle somatic yoga flows. This is slightly different than the Wednesday class in that we may become a bit more active, with everyone working to their own evolving mobility.

This class offers a gentle, healing, slow flow; cultivating peace of mind, while calming your heart and strengthening, stretching and energizing your body—with every movement, and every breath. The emphasis is on the healing, uplifting and rejuvenating benefits of Yoga. Suitable for all levels.

A class dedicated to an aging population, this is a therapeutic style yoga with individual attention. The criteria for attending my yoga class is the ability to walk one kilometer. Flexability is not a prerequisite, it will be the result of learning to move your body through mindful yoga.

In restorative yoga, props such as bolsters and blankets are used to fully support stretching and relaxing the body, allowing it to open slowly and naturally. Concentration is on the breath, allowing for a deep introspective class which restores healing, vibrant energy to the body, and peace-of-mind. Suitable for all levels.

These sessions offer an opportunity to learn and practice the various Vijnana yoga series, and share in a group setting. Each class consists of 15 minutes of Seated Meditation, Chanting and Pranayama, followed by 1.5 hours of rotating asana practice, guided by the Vijnana Yoga International practice manual. While this is an Intermediate/Advanced Practice Group, these summer sessions are open to All Levels, from Strong Beginner, upwards. I will offer stages and versions for different poses to suit different levels.
