Class Descriptions 
Introduction to Yoga: If you've never done yoga before, this is a good place to start. It introduces basic breathing techniques, terminology, and yoga poses (asanas) beginning with chair yoga. Everyone welcome.

Bliss: Bliss is a meditative,restorative & gentle style of yoga. Bliss Yoga is a spinal opening practice that is based on the premise that most physical pain is rooted at the core of our body: our spine & central nervous system. By releasing the origin of the pain, the pain in the rest of the body is unlocked. Resolution is found when pain arises in a particular pose: rather than ignoring the pain out of habit, we listen & adjust our body until we can breathe comfortably. In this way, our body is able to release the trauma response that began when we were first injured or stressed.All Welcome.

Hatha : All yoga that involves movement is a form of Hatha Yoga. This class will build the foundation for other classes at the studio. We build strength & flexibility equally, reducing the risk of injury. Standing, balancing, seated, and relaxation poses cultivate your body's innate wisdom on how to heal itself. We will address one of the yamas (moral code) niyamas (self restraints).
Vinyasa : Vinyasa means sequence in Sanskrit, and while it is not the exact same sequence each class like traditional astanga, it does involve many sun salutations. There is music in each class, and focuses on the breath & alignment.
Kundalini Yoga: All the basics of Kundalini 
yoga will be covered in this in depth experience of yogic work 
designed to bring about  maximum results and transformation on the 
levels of mind, body and spirit. Breath work combined with physical 
action and simultaneous use of mantra works to still the mind, 
generate and maximize life energy (prana) resulting in increased 
awareness, flexibility, vitality, peace and clarity.  Each class includes 
tuning in,  warm-up, exercise set, meditation and deep relaxation with 
visualization. 

Laughter Yoga: This class is pretty silly. The whole point is to laugh for no reason, just because it feels good, which I guess is a reason. No jokes, just a little flowing movement & stretching, and some silliness thrown in. Laughter has so many benefits: it is a great anti aging drug, much better than any cream or pill; it stimulates the immune system, and simply makes you feel good. Even if you're feeling dumpy, deeepressed, delusional, COME! We prectice faking it till we make it, and you really can't help but laugh at Skyler, and sometimes other silly people who show up. :)

Kids Yoga: This class is a 6 week course, and preregistration is required. We are beginning our first class the week of February 5. Children develop focus, coordination, strength & flexibility in a fun environment with other kids. Yoga is a great way to help a child spend their excess energy in a healthy way!

Taoist Yoga: Taoist yoga integrates Qi Gong, Tai Qi, Hatha & Kundalini Yoga into a flowing format focused on qi (prana) cultivation. It is not a strenuous class, but it will incorporate some sun salutations and layer the Eastern practices into the yoga. You will learn some Chinese medical theory, meridian stretches & even some Tibetan yoga practices, depending on the focus of the class you come to.

TLC Yoga: This class is meant for seniors, people with injuries, or just anyone who needs a little extra TLC and individual attention in a yoga class. We start with chair yoga, do some standing exercises, stretch & strengthen every part of the body from the hands to the neck to the feet. We close with some reclining postures, twists & a relaxation.

 

Astanga Yoga: Astanga Yoga (AstangaVinyasa) is an athletic yoga style brought to the U.S. by Master Teacher K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. The “Full” Practice, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Series, assumes an above average level of fitness, flexibility, and/or prior yoga experience. This rigorous asana style uses the breath, fluid movement, and internal awareness to provide a dynamic, vitalizing physical practice, a purifying sweat, and connection to the pranic level of spirit.

Astanga: Beginning: With detail to the basics of the Astanga system this class is appropriate for fit beginners or persons returning to practice, without injuries or pre-existing limitations. These classes prepare students to progress into the fuller practices.

Astanga: Continuing: For students who have an Astanga background or come from some other rigorous/ powerful yoga style. “Continuing” to develop the understanding of the Astanga Series, including full backbends and headstand, in an improvisational format.

Astanga: 1st /Primary Series: Developing strength as well as flexibility, this 2 hour class includes sun salutations, jumping vinyasas, and emphasizes various forward bends, concluding with full backbends and headstand. The class includes detailed directions and options, however it is important for students to make the practice appropriate for themselves and not try to fit their bodies to the practice.

Astanga: Intro to 2nd Series: Second Series / Intermediate Astanga takes a student into deeper understanding of back bending and hip opening postures. In this introduction we will move progressively through the first section of the second series.

Astanga: Mysore Practice: A self-practice class as taught in Mysore, India. Students work together in the class without verbal instruction. A flow sheet is permissible until the practice is memorized. This allows the instructor to provide individual attention and hands-on assistance. It is the best way to develop one’s personal practice.
