Class Descriptions
Hatha Yoga - The classical approach to yoga holds asana (postures) as one of the 8-limbs of a comprehensive yoga practice and foundational for the exploration of yoga’s greater depths. In this class we study asana, breath, and a bit of meditation aimed at improving flexibility, balance, vitality, and clarity extending from the physical body through the mental. The postures range from stationary to more of a vinyasa-flow style and are suitable for all levels of practitioner. Explore your body as a sacred vehicle by inviting a deeper relationship with yourself and improved, overall well-being.
Vinyasa - Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic yoga practice that emphasizes the stringing together of a series of hatha poses (in no particular order) in a flowing style where breath aligns with and guides the movements.
Transcendental Yoga - Based on Traditional Ashtanga Yoga as outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, we explore the 8-limbs (eight disciplines) of a holistic yogic practice including asana, pranayama, meditation, and purification-cleansing. The emphasis is on the transcendental character of yoga as a path toward self-realization instilling balance and clarity in all aspects of our lives, beyond just the realm of physical movement. Here asanas are seen as a gateway to access the greater Self through the body, and the 8-limbs are used as successive steps toward a more compassionate, fulfilling, and empowered existence
Meditation - Exploring a deeper, more internalized “yogic” practice, we will focus on the importance of a clear and present mind achieved through various meditation techniques. The later 4 limbs of Raja Yoga will be the focus and will also include mantra and pranayama. Some meditations will be guided and include the practice of Yoga Nidra, and others will offer take-home techniques for a more effective personal practice. These techniques, effective for releasing old and unwanted patterns, will help you realize your greater potential by empowering you in the now and deepening your state of presence. Invite a smooth, rejuvenating transition as you release the stresses of the work week and welcome in the possibility of the weekend.
Yoga Nidra - Yoga Nidra is the traditional tantric practice of deep, conscious relaxation that was adapted by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. It is a meditation technique used for effectively imprinting new patterns on the mind and body, harmonizing the deeper unconscious states of the mind and awakening one’s inner potential. Through the practice of Yoga Nidra, we can induce a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. This takes the mind into a hypnogogic state, the threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, where contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occur spontaneously. This occurs by turning away from outer experiences, then shifting the consciousness to function at a deeper level of inner awareness. Through this practice of pratyahara—withdrawal of sense organs—the mind becomes one-pointed by concentrating on the auditory channel through a sequence of a guided meditation. Here, the focus in on the receptivity of consciousness which becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways making impressions on the mind and body much greater and more powerful. (These classes begin with 15-20 minutes of gentle, meditative asana to bring the mind into alignment with the body).
