Ashtanga (Intro):
Suitable for the beginner and the experienced practicioner, this introduction will slow down the Ashtanga series to explore the asanas (poses) in a safe and challenging way that will deepen your practice. This is a vinyasa (flow) practice that links asana with breath. Ashtanga begins with sun salutations that heat the body, and then moves to sitting and standing postures. Focus on alignment and strengthening the core to prepare the body and mind for more challenging poses.

Gentle:
Yoga for those over the age of 50 or beginners. Gentle poses help you reduce your stress and achieve a state of relaxation.

Hatha:
The way of yoga is to crush the agitations of the mind (as revealed in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali), which in turn brings you to total mind-body relaxation. The physical strength and flexibility you develop through yoga will translate into strength and flexibility of the mind and spirit. Be prepared to play with the edges of your breath and body, to make new discoveries about yourself, and to leave class feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated

Integral:
This is a class that integrates the traditional yoga poses with the breath in a way that allows the body to return to its place of quiet relaxation and the mind to its place of calm.  The poses are done in a sequence that allows the entire body to release tension and to cleanse itself of toxins as the breath calms the nervous system.  The body begins to open to its natural flexibility without any strain or pushing.  Individual attention is emphasized to allow each student to come to their full potential.  The class concludes with an extended, guided, deep relaxation. Also offered is a more challenging Intermediate Integral Yoga class.

Iyengar Yoga: Focus on restorative poses and relaxation techniques. A quiet, meditative class focused on stress reduction. The class is gentle, and is open to students of all levels.

Meridian/Forrest Yoga: An active style of yoga that combines traditional poses with resistance stretching. Muscles contract as they lengthen creating true flexibility, strength and release of tension. As muscle groups contract and stretch they stimulate the meridians, which are the energy pathways of the body, affecting an energetic shift towards health and balance. All are welcome.

Viniyoga: Emphasis on safety and clear teaching style will put beginners at ease, while yogis of all levels will enjoy the contrast of challenging practice followed by deep relaxation. Regular attendance at these classes will give you a strong, healthy back, improved posture and body use, and greater ease in the neck and shoulders.

Vinyasa Flow: Draws from the traditions of Ashtanga and Iyengar. This style of yoga creates a flowing experience by linking movement with the breath, building strength and flexibility, and enhancing relaxation.

Additional Classes

Tai Chi: Tai Chi was developed as a martial art, but is practiced today largely for its health benefits. The slowly-performed, dance-like movements may not look like much, but through them students learn many things. Members $30 monthly/Non members $60 [COURT B]
