Morning Yoga on Mondays and Fridays: The perfect way to start your day! Class begins with breath awareness exercises and a few moments of quiet reflection. Some gentle stretching opens the way to a practice of yoga poses to build strength, flexibility and awareness. A relatively gentle class, individuals who desire a more demanding practice are encouraged to increase the intensity of their experience as needed.
Fundamentals of Yoga (Monday): Learn how to practice basic poses with awareness and intelligence. Instruction emphasizes correct anatomical alignment and movement and breathing exercises to enhance mental and physical relaxation. Suitable for beginners, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to revisit the poses that are the foundation of any yoga practice.
Wednesday's Slow Flow Yoga: This vinyasa yoga class focuses on enhancing endurance, strength and flexibility, synchronizing movement with breath while flowing from pose to pose. The pace of the class is slower than other vinyasa classes, but builds heat and intensity through a sustained practice of Sun Salutations and other flowing sequences. Seated breath awareness and meditation begin the class, and detailed work on static poses round out the practice before a final relaxation.
YogaFit (Wednesdays): Lindel Hart and Jody Fontaine join forces to co-teach a hybrid of Yoga and Fitness. YogaFit includes stretches and exercises to warm and tone the body, yoga poses for strength and focus, and the use of hand weights to transform yoga poses into fitness powerhouses.
Wednesday night's class, Iyengar Yoga -- All Levels, is a multilevel class appropriate for any level of practitioner. Seasoned yogis can work on more advanced poses or more deeply in more standard ones, while beginners learn the basics.
The 60-minute Gentle Yoga class (Thursdays) features many floor-based poses and stretches and a few standing poses for strength. If you have injuries or other conditions that require a modified practice, this class may be a valuable asset to your well-being.
Thursday's Iyengar-based Yoga class: Fine-tune your practice of basic as well as more challenging poses with enhanced precision. Increase strength and flexibility while developing sensitivity to the subtleties of the mind/body connection. This class will also include more advanced Pranayama techniques and deeper level of asana instruction. Suitable for experienced practitioners; not a beginning class.
