Class Descriptions:

Safe and Slow - Safe and Slow is open to everyone, but it is specifically geared for students whose mobility, balance, flexibility, and strength limitations require a more careful class. If you are too stiff or tight to join a "regular" class this is a good place to start! The pace is slower and we use more props to establity stability and access to the poses. Advanced registration is required because we keep these classes small. We provide everything you need - just wear comfortable clothing.

Basic Series - This is a 8 week course designed to help you learn the basics. We will work from the ground up to build a strong foundaton of the Principles of Alignment. These session are for absolute beginners or seasoned practitioners looking to improve their practice and clarify their undertstanding of alignment, and they are also for anyone working with healing injuries or reducing pain. Advanced registration is required.

"I'm not here to tell you how this is going to end - I'm here to tell you how it's going to begin."

~ Neo, The Matrix

Level 1 - Beginners, experienced beginners. These classes are appropriate for students new to yoga, for those students who would like a gentler practice, or for students who would like to expand their knowledge of the basic poses.

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's mind there are few."

~ Shunryu Suzuki

Level 2 - Expand your strength and flexibility. It is recommended that you have at least one year of yoga experience or the teacher's permission.

"The yogi understands that their innermost state is one of perpetual celebration, and then sets about doing the work it takes to keep themselves readily available to that source of love and light." ~Sadie Nardini

All Levels - These classes are open to experienced beginners to more advanced students. These are well-rounded classes with a wide repertoire of poses - students are encouraged to work at their own level. Challenging postures and restful restorative poses will be sprinkled in as needed.

"There is great comfort in mediocrity. I urge you to rise above that to find your potential."

~Aadil Palkhivala

Level 2-3 - Take it to a higher level - these classes are open to students that have a good working knowledge of the Principles of Alignment and who are comfortable kicking up to Handstand at the wall and who are able to perform Full Backbend with straight arms. In these classes we will be working with more advanced postures including inversions and arm balances.

"When we walk to the edge of all light we have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown we must believe one of two things will happen - there will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will be taught how to fly." ~Patrick Overton
