CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Community Class
This is a free Hatha class open to anyone at any level taught the first Sunday of each month
Hatha Yoga
General yoga classes teach postures with correct alignment and breathing, ending in deep relaxation. These classes are suitable for all new and continuing yoga students in normal health.
Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is also known as the yoga of awareness; its focus is on self-awareness and delivering an experience of your highest consciousness. This technology is a science of the mind and body, to elevate the spirit, which has no boundaries, no discrimination. Therefore, it is for everyone, universal and nondenominational (for more information: http://www.kriteachings.org/What%20is%20KY.htm)
Prenatal Yoga
This class is designed to prepare healthy, pregnant women in their second and third trimester for the intense process of giving birth. Studio policy: If you are pregnant, please attend only Prenatal Yoga classes. A Health Release Form, completed by your physician/midwife, is required to participate; download form here.
Restorative
This relaxing, de-stressing, soothing practice will have you feeling totally renewed and ready to begin the week happy and refreshed! We do use props such as bolsters and blankets in this class, so if you have your own and would like to bring them with you, please do so.
Vinyasa
An energetic, strengthening, and muscle-toning yoga practice that encourages balance, focus, and relaxation through continuous movement from one posture to the next; classes may be either "hard" or "soft" form. Recommended for students who have some experience and are ready to advance their knowledge, increase their strength, and deepen their practice.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is part of a larger conception of yoga that can be called Taoist Yoga; the fundamental tenet of Taoism is that all things can be described by their mutually complementary Yin and Yang aspects. Yin and Yang can be used to describe all things we are capable of experiencing whether they are clouds, stars, our thoughts or our bodies. Basic examples of Taoist analysis would be: There is always a front and a back to a coffee cup but we can never experience both at the same time; the exposed part of the cup is Yang, the concealed part is Yin but both are necessary to form the cup.
A Taoist analysis of yoga practice emphasizes the critical difference between Yin and Yang tissues of the body; muscles and blood are Yang, connective tissues and joints are Yin. Yin and Yang tissues do not respond to training in the same way and a student's practice becomes more effective when the difference is understood. Most forms of yoga practiced today are Yang, they emphasize muscular movement and contraction. By contrast Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the hips, pelvis and lower spine with the postures being held three to five to ten minutes at a time. This type of practice complements the more muscular styles of yoga and is a great aid for learning to sit in meditation. Suitable for all levels.
