Are You a Beginner or Enjoy a Gentle Class?
Look for classes that welcome beginners and those who are moving beyond the beginning stage but enjoy a gentle class with good demonstrations and easy-to-follow instructions. Beginner and beyond classes are gentle progressive series that explore the fundamentals of yoga movement, simple breath awareness, relaxation, and concentration. We will explore how to do foundational asanas (postures), adaptations of those asanas, simple breath awareness and guided relaxation. Whether you are new to yoga, or have been practicing for years, these classes are an excellent foundation for general wellness for people of all ages and as cross-training for high school, college and adult athletes. These class series are applicable for beginners and are especially well-suited to maturing adults who are interested in maintaining strength, stamina and flexibility in classes with a strong focus on protecting joints.
Are You Looking for More Challenge?
Look for classes that introduce more challenging postures, strength, balance, creative flows, or introduce pranayama (breathing practices), meditation, chanting, or other yoga tools. The pace of these classes may be faster depending on the teaching style of the teacher. Your teacher will facilitate self-awareness, focus and concentration.
