ALL LEVELS alignment based yoga; hardworking class suitable for all levels
MYSORE-STYLE ASHTANGA YOGA means the class is not led. Students are taught a very specific sequence of postures, from the beginning, part-by-part, and work individually within the context of a small group, arriving when they want and self-practicing alongside others. New students receive a lot of 1-on-1 attention and will practice for a shorter time, while seasoned practitioners are guided to longer and more challenging sequences. It is best for new students to commit to practicing AT LEAST 2X / week for the month.
OPEN level classes feature flowing Vinyasa sequences, breath awareness, hands-on alignment, spiritual teachings, music and meditation.
BASICS is for anyone who is new to yoga or who desires a slower paced class. Emphasis is placed learning the fundamentals and a deeper understanding of the postures.
