Class Descriptions
Mat Yoga - Mixed-level class
with challenging but accessible poses for all levels of students.
Class includes standing, seated, and recumbent poses designed to
build strength, flexibility, and balance. Variations and
modifications of the poses are suggested, allowing students to
practice at their personal level of expertise. Mat yoga classes
are suitable for all students who can transition to-and-from the
floor without assistance.
Chair Yoga - Mixed-level classes designed for those who want to practice yoga but perhaps have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. Providing all the benefits of a traditional mat practice, chair yoga allows students to perform and enjoy yoga poses while seated and standing using a chair for support. Classes include all the elements of yoga to build strength, flexibility, and balance. Please note, chair yoga classes work both in seated and standing positions. Chair students must be able to stand up from an armless chair without assistance.
Restorative Yoga - Mixed-level class designed as a restful, meditative practice. Yoga poses (asanas) use props (blocks, blankets, straps) for support, allowing the poses to be held almost effortlessly and for a longer duration. Restorative yoga is a practice of deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga and the union of body and mind. Suitable for all students who can transition to-and-from the floor without assistance.
Yoga Basics - For students exploring mat yoga for the first time, those returning to yoga after some time away, or for continuing students wishing to expand their practice by focusing on the subtleties of the poses. Step-by-step instruction helps students learn to move safely in their yoga practice and to make pose modifications to best fit individual needs. Yoga Basics helps students learn to practice yoga in a slow, conscious way. Suitable for all students who can transition to-and-from the floor without assistance.
