Mysore style Ashtanga is an individualized practice. As each student is in a different stage of their practice, they do not practice in unison with each other. A beginning student might have a 20-30 minute practice, that will grow with their commitment. A minimum practice of three times per week, working toward daily practice, is recommended for Ashtanga class attendance. The goal of Mysore practice is for each student to develop an individual practice that can be done at home. 

In the Ashtanga Led Primary Series students are guided in unison through a dynamic and flowing sequence of postures that is directed towards strengthening, toning and cleansing the muscles, joints and internal organs. These classes are beneficial for every student of yoga!

Join us in this powerful combination of asana, pranayama, mantra, mudra, meditation, bandha (energy lock), and chakra (energy center) work to build strength, clarity, and ease. Expect to be challenged as this practice will take a whole body and mind approach to effect the way you move through the world.

This class utilizes props (blankets, bolsters, straps, blocks) to fully support the body in restful poses, allowing students to stay in postures longer. Practicing primarily seated and reclined asanas, this is a deeply relaxing class, appropriate for all levels, including those recovering from injuries or with limited range of movement.
 

Mostly seated and reclined poses are combined with stretching, breathwork and relaxation. This is a calming and nurturing class that is appropriate for all levels of ability.

Experience a compassionate approach to flowing with the breath through sun salutations, standing, seated, supine, and inverted postures. With the room temperature set to 85 degrees, your body will be comfortably warm and able to move more deeply into postures. Dynamic sequencing combines breath and fluid movement to build strength, flexibility, endurance, and concentration. Building gradually allows both newer and more advanced students the opportunity to go deeper or relax, honoring the body as needed. Discover freedom and playfulness on the mat and in the full practice of life off of your yoga mat.

A meditative floor practice where poses are held longer and deeper to strengthen connective tissues (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.  Much of the focus is between the belly button and the knees - particularly the hips, pelvis and lower spine.

Our community class offers a safe, comfortable space to build our yoga practice together. Through sun salutes, flow and breath we will discover the magic of yoga and how it contributes to a healthy joyful life.

Learn to release stress, anxiety, and tension from your body naturally using our body’s own genetically encoded mechanism, that presents as a tremor, vibration and or mild shaking. Animals do this naturally, and so can we!

We will do a series of gentle exercises that will “activate” these tremors that allow our “core” muscles to release.

Lying comfortably on the floor, using breathing techniques to calm the nervous system, we’ll tune ourselves to the focused repetition of small movements.

Be prepared to do less than you are able.

Find how deeply you can disengage your muscles, and how efficiently you can use them.

Wind down to build sustained support.

No yoga experience necessary, only the desire to slow down and focus inward, developing a practice that can both relax and energize you.
