Rise & Shine A class that will challenge and relax you at the same time. Starting with a moderate vinyasa flow to build heat gradually in the body, this flow will burn away impurities, creating space in the body for new energy & light. ______________________________________ Alignment Refinement Drawing from Iyengar philosophy and designed for practitioners interested in improving their posture, those recovering from recent injury and with specific physical issues on which they would like to focus. This practice is excellent for anyone wishing to refine their practice through increased awareness of the body. *Recommended for pre/post-natal women. _____________________________________ Deep Stretch A Yin-style practice that focuses on allowing rather than effort. The practice of Yin is one in which we use gravity to deepen our bodies into the posture. Poses are held in a restorative style that allows for your muscles to open and joints to release. *Excellent for increasing flexibility, recovering from illness or treatment and for decreasing stress. _________________________________________ Yoga Basics Taught by a student studying toward a certification in Iyengar Yoga. In this class, supportive props will help you to deepen stretches and increase release. Particular attention will be paid to the details of alignment for the physical poses and body position for breath work (pranayama). An excellent class for those wishing to deepen their understanding of the practice or beginners wishing to understand the poses. *Excellent for increasing flexibility and recovering from illness or treatment. ______________________________________ Basic Flow A shorter class designed to fit into your busy schedule. This class jumps right into the Asana.
