Gentle Yoga ~ 

Gentle Hatha Yoga class appropriate for all levels and ages.

 

Intro to Vinyasa ~

Recommended for first-time students to begin their journey into yoga.  This class teaches the basic poses (asanas) that will be practiced in Vinyasa yoga class as well as breathing practices (pranayama) and meditation techniques.  Students will learn a basic sun salutation and, after a few classes, will be prepared to join other Vinyasa classes or are welcome to continue with the Intro classes if the structure and pace are most appropriate.

Vinyasa Yoga ~

Students flow through spirited posture sequences with fewer breaks and at a more vigorous pace.  A large portion of this class is sun salutations, and back bending, forward bending and inversions will also be practiced. The linking of breathe with movement increases the strength and flexibility of the body and calms the nervous system.  There is always deep relaxation, pranayama (breathwork), and a brief meditation to end the class. Some yoga experience is recommended prior to attending vinyasa classes

 

Viniyoga  ~ 

Viniyoga™ is an authentic transmission of the teachings of yoga, including āsana (postures), prāṇāyāma (breath work), chanting/mantra, meditation, and personal ritual.*  These yoga tools are adapted to meet the unique condition, needs and interests of each student. In this way, each practitioner has the opportunity to individualize and actualize her/his self-discovery and personal transformation. The emphasis in a Viniyoga class is on “the person, not the poses.” If you are looking to deepen your practice with authentic teachings, please give Viniyoga a try.
 
(*Gary Kraftsow, MA, E-RYT 550, C-IAYT, evolved the Viniyoga™ approach to yoga from the teachings transmitted by T. Krishnamacharya and T.K. V. Desikachar of Madras, India.)
