Class Descriptions

Basics
This class is for absolutely anyone of any age, shape or size to experience the many benefits of yoga. No experience or flexibility required. In this straight-forward and supportive class environment, you will learn basic yoga postures, art and benefits of breathing, correct positioning of postures within one’s own body, and how to incorporate props into your practice to increase the freedom and mobility of the body. We recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing when practicing yoga. No yoga experience necessary.

Level 1
This class will dive deep into a broader range of asanas with a non-aggressive approach and moderate pace which allows you to dissolve into a more open, graceful body and relax into a steady mind. This class is open to all levels, but due to the slower tempo it is appropriate for beginners who are ready to grow their practice as well.  Yoga experience is recommended.

Level 1-2
This class explores the beginning stages of advanced poses while keeping a focus on developing stamina and flexibility. After learning the basics, we concentrate on jumping forward and back in sun salutations, binding, explore challenging asanas, arm balances, inversions, and more vigorous sequences. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

Level 2
In this more challenging yoga practice we build strength internally as well as externally. We cultivate concentration, confidence, and endurance. This class explores asanas with advanced variations and leads us to find our true inner potential by playing the edge while embracing the challenge. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

Relax & Release
This calming, therapeutic class uses gentle movement & props to support the body in order to deepen the benefits of poses. Both soothing and nurturing, this class promotes the effects of conscious relaxation and meditation. An opportunity to be still, relax and let go!  Little or no yoga experience necessary.

Anusara Inspired
This class is primarily inspired by Anusara Yoga®, which uses precise principles of alignment to promote safety and empower students to achieve their full potential. Each class interweaves heart oriented themes to connect students to the deeper purpose of yoga. The Sunday Anusara class, led by Matt Newman, takes this format & kicks it up a notch, adding a bit of spice to the mix.

Align
Align incorporates principles from Iyengar Yoga, giving students detailed guidance on proper alignment for postures,within a flowing sequence. Each class will have a different focus, and we'll take time within the flow to explore that particular element. A great way to refine your practice!

Ashtanga
Ashtanga Yoga is the system of Yoga taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. This challenging method of Vinyasa Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with six progressive set series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. Each level is to be fully developed before proceeding to the next. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. Some yoga experience necessary.

Kundalini
Based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, Kundalini yoga is a physical and meditative discipline, comprising a set of techniques that use the mind, senses and body to create a communication between mind and body. Kundalini yoga focuses on psycho-spiritual growth and the body's potential for maturation, giving special consideration to the role of the spine and the endocrine system in the understanding of yogic awakening.  This this less strenuous practice will help you to feel more relaxed, healthy, and happy through utilizing yogic postures, movements, breath work, and meditations. Little or no yoga experience necessary.

Dynamic Yoga Therapy
This class combines challenging vinyasa flow sequences with focused awareness practices in order to gain a deeper understanding of what your body needs in the moment. Students are encouraged to move at their own pace and respond to their individual needs and desires, creating an opportunity to develop a strong personal practice while receiving the benefits of a structured group practice. An ongoing practice is recommended.

Kalari
The oldest of all Martial Art forms, Kalari is the Tantra Yoga of martial arts. This highly powerful practice presents itself in class as a blend of yoga, martial arts and dance. The four most important principles in every class are grounding, alignment, flow and focus. Level 1 focus = more detail on Lohars, Kalari Sun Salutation, Leg swings & Salutation form. Level 2 focus = more detail on Shiva & Shakti forms + long stick.No yoga experience or yoga mat necessary, expect to work hard & sweat.

Yoga Lab
Yoga Lab is designed for teachers, aspiring teachers and advanced practitioners, and is offered once a month. Each class begins with a strength-building vinyasa sequence to activate core body strength and target a particular theme or class of poses. We then encourage students to deepen their practice by experiencing the alignment and energy of advanced postures in a safe and playful way. Different challenges include advanced back bends, forward bends, hip openers and inversions. Ongoing yoga practice is necessary

Master Classes
These special classes are offered by senior and master teachers from around the world and our own back yard. Longer than a normal class, each session has a particular theme. Plenty of time is given to deepen the experience of that theme in the practice of yoga. This is a great way to explore a new aspect of practice or experience a new teacher with a broad range of experience. Like a mini-yoga retreat without leaving town.  Variations for all levels are offered. For Level 1 students & up.
