Schedule

We offer a diverse array of classes for all ages and skill levels. Classes vary in length and difficulty. We have something that's right for you, your body, your health, your spirit. We encourage you to focus and learn yogic breathing, and connect this with your core strength so that you generate internal awareness and internal heat, irrespective of the external temperature in a yoga studio. (To test yourself, take a class in the Moon Space and you should be able to sweat without the aid of the heated Sun Space.)
We believe that a well-rounded, diverse practice allows you to explore the deeper depths of YOuGA and are willing to rewards you in this discovery and journey into YOGA'S WISDOM. Use this table to plan a diversity of practices and expand your yoga horizons and experiences. For every 10 different classes (4 yoga, 4 core, 2 dance) you do, you will get 2 FREE classes. (Get registration details in studio.) Breath is always your mindful focus in all the classes. In YOGA BREATH, you will find various yoga traditions and styles, from the classic to contemporary, to innovative fusions. In CORE BREATH, you will learn to coordinate your breath with core strengthening and learn specialized aspects of yoga. In DANCE BREATH you will feel the freedom of your breath with movement. Having diverse classes will expand your capacity and range of motion, provide 'cross-training' benefits by connecting body energies in different ways, keep you in the now as you explore your edges and boundaries (and not get 'stale' with repetitive practices), expand your breath awareness in stillness and movement, free your uniqueness and expressiveness. By taking a variety of classes, you balance yourself in YOGA's Wisdom. Remember, the intensity of a class is determined by your breathing capacity, not the level. The level of classes is an indicator of yoga experience. (For example, a dedicated yoga practioner should be able to do a B3 class with their Ujjayi breathing, and have an intense, sweat-filled class.)

Breath and levels

We want you to Be Breath: to intentionally focus on your breath as it leads your movement.

The essence of yoga is connection with your breath. Classes are designated by Breath-On (B) .to keep your focus on intentional mindful breathing. These B codes also designate the intensity of the classes: beginner, intermediate, advanced. For example, in B1 (Breath On 1), most movements will flow on one breath cycle (B1), and is an advanced class. A B2 (Breath on 2) would have breath flow movements after two breaths, and is intermediate. In B3 (Breath On 3), there is a longer holding period of poses and movements will begin after 3 full breath cycles. This is considered a beginner class. In B6+ (Breath on 6 or more), the breath cycles are longer within a holding position. Intermediate and advanced practitioners should periodically do B3 classes to make sure they can generate their internal heat with the breath work and core strength. Instructors will not count breaths, and you should internalize your breath awareness. Teachers will modify the breath cycles within classes when appropriate. (To repeat, the intensity of a class is determined by yur yogic breathing capacity. The levels reflect yoga experience.)

Class Descriptions

Acro Yoga

Expand your yoga practice though the fun world of partner and acro yoga! You do not have to have partner to come to this class. Suppotive and coordinated movements of team work will be developed. One realizes a greater awareness of yoga's community and new innovations in yoga positioning. One also builds core strengthening and heightened balancing. In partner yoga, one moves beyond a solitary yoga practice to include a wider community. We learn fun and lightness when working with others.

Ashtanga

This is a fluid class that builds inner heat and cardiovascular energy through a series of strength- and flexibility-building poses, connected through breath work. These yoga classes follow poses through the Primary Series and are dynamic in nature and help to detox the body through the internal heat naturally created by the fluid movements (vinyasas).

Athletic Yoga

A vigorous class combining core strengthening, endurance, vinyasa, ashtanha and bikram type asanas. Resistance bars and bands will be used. Participants should have a well developed ujjayi breath for this class.

Balancing Yoga

Balance is one of the fundamental aspects of yoga, allowing you to be grounded, stabilized and focussed. This class will emphasize various yoga balancing poses, allowing you to gain confidence and strength.

Child-friendly Yoga

These class allow children of any age to be in the class while their parent or guardian practices yoga. One learns to do yoga with an awareness and acceptance of children’s complexities of being: their vocalizations, movements, playful energies, and cries and interruptions. This is real life yoga allowing participants to explore their own views of children in a common and public space. The goal is to connect with your own ‘child-within’ and include a playful exuberance in yoga. Children get to practice and enjoy the yoga experience.

Classic Hatha

Exploration and patience are common themes as we connect with our breath in every posture. Experience a yoga practice that will strengthen your body while focusing your mind. This class incorporates the 7 main groups of yoga postures (forward bends, side bends, twists, inversions, balances, back bends and relaxation) to integrate physiological, psychological and spiritual well being.

The use of props allows us to feel the yoga asana safely and explore its depth without 'fighting' our bodily impediments. The class follows Iyengar teaching principles of safety and correct alignment to increase our awareness of the various physical alignments and components of yoga positions. This class isolates and strengthens core muscles, and deepens stretches.

Hatha

Hatha is root of all yoga. A series of yoga positions (= asanas) with a pace that allows for breath awareness, learning, and settling into the unique positions of yoga. Participants are encouraged to understand and explore the yoga positions as ‘puzzles’. The focus is on the feelings generated by the position, how they release physical tensions stored in the body, and how we find new openings and growth in the stillness of our breathing.

Our bodies are made to be fluid, so have this yogic flowing feeling.

The emphasis is on integrating breath work in yoga, not strictly the physical body work of asanas.
