Class Descriptions

VINYASA FLOW
A creative flow sequence dynamically linking movement with breath and improving strength, health, and flexibility while clearing the mind. This class is appropriate for all levels. Modifications will be given to beginners as well as seasoned practitioners.

ASHTANGA
The system of Yoga taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India. This method of Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures — a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. ALL LEVELS.

MYSORE
The traditional way of learning Ashtanga Yoga is called "Mysore Style". Each student has a self-practice in whatever Series they are working on. The instructors are available to help with the postures by means of hands-on adjustments and reminding you of the sequencing should you forget. Experience and regular practice in Ashtanga is recommended. If you have a regular practice but isn't one of the Ashtanga Series, feel free to come in and do your own practice in this class and share and experience the energy! EXPERIENCED.
