Class Descriptions: Current On Going Classes

We offer classes for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced students. Our primary style of teaching is "Vinyasa Flow Yoga" - a flowing class linking breath with movement promoting mindful harmony of mind, body and spirit. Vinyasa Flow is a fun, life affirming form of yoga where the body and mind playfully explore yoga poses that are carefully sequenced. Descriptions of classes vary from studio to studio, to alleviate any confusion we've included a simple description of whether each class is Gentle, Moderate or Vigorous. For example, a level 3 class elsewhere is the same as our Level 2 class.

Restorative Yoga

A gentle class to reduce physical & emotional effects of stress. Practice supported yoga poses using blankets, blocks and straps, that open the body, while slowing down the racing mind. The result is relaxation, greater mental clarity, improved alignment and physical freedom. Breath work is included.   VERY GENTLE (First Monday Each Month 7:30pm with Silvia)

Gentle Basics

Perfect for those with limited mobility or recovering from injury or surgery. This class provides a nurturing environment for you to relax deeply. Gentle poses and breathing techniques will be used in order to cultivate a deep state of healing. VERY GENTLE

Basics

For students new to yoga -or- those looking for a gentle class to reduce tension. Learn breath and body awareness, optimal posture and body mechanics. Focus on correct positioning of 54 basic yoga poses to strengthen lower back, abdominal muscles, legs and upper body. Students experience the meditative benefits of yoga through linking of breath with movement. This class promotes balance, flexibility, and stress reduction. GENTLE

Level 1


This class is open to all levels and due to the moderate pacing is appropriate for healthy beginners too (those without serious injury). It combines fundamentals from Yoga Basics with Sun Salutations A & B to relax the mind by mindfully flowing from one pose to the next linked with breath. A gentle flow style is used to introduce more poses including basic inversions. MODERATE

Kundalini Yoga as Taught By Yogi Bhajan

Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul. No previous experience in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your very first class. MODERATE

Sadhana: Kundalini and Meditation (By Donation)

Begin your day by joining us for early morning Sadhana.  We start with  Japji (meditative prayer), then enjoy a Kundalini Yoga set, and then end with 62 minutes of meditations (the Aquarian Sadhana mantras). Sadhana means a daily spiritual practice.  The yogic scriptures call for at least two-and-a-half hours of sadhana before the rising of the sun.  The two-and-a-half hours is determined by the law of karma--everything you give, you receive back tenfold.  So, if you dedicate one-tenth of your day to your higher consciousness, your whole day is covered by the returning energy.  And, when a group of us meditates together, the total effect of our sadhana is multiplied by the number of people participating!  Getting up for sadhana is a victory over time and doing sadhana together is a victory over space.  Sadhana is a self-victory.  You become incapable of being defeated!  MODERATE

Level 1 - 2

This class provides an opportunity to deepen your awareness of the poses. The pace is moderate and more intermediate poses will be introduced and practiced around Sun Salutations A and B along with other Salutations. Emphasis is placed on mindfulness and breath control. Ideal for Intermediate/Advanced students with a regular practice ready to sweat and try new things. MODERATE/VIGOROUS

Level 2

This advanced class is comprised of an intelligent, dynamic sequence of flowing yoga poses built around Sun Salutations A and B, Mandala Salutations and Dancing Warrior series. Experience an increase in energy, strength and joy! Learn to refine poses and deepen your connection to your body. A regular practice is required and student knows modifications. More advanced back bends, inversions and arm balances are taught and practiced. It is a fun, challenging yoga practice so be prepared to sweat! VIGOROUS (Equivalent to others Level 3)
