Beginning Yoga

These classes are designed to nurture, calm, and provide a deep feeling of inner renewal. You'll enjoy expert instruction in Ananda Yoga, including the essentials of safe technique, enabling you to continue your practice at home. Learn how to adapt the postures to your own level of flexibility and experience, while exploring the spiritual dimensions of hatha yoga and the yoga/meditation connection.

Intermediate Yoga: Yoga for Spiritual Awakening

Have you been practicing yoga for awhile and are looking to take your yoga practice to the next level? Are you wanting to explore yoga postures as an aid to your own inner awakening? This class provides a deeper experience of yoga for intermediate students or advanced beginner, (those who have practiced yoga postures for at least seven months). This program is physically satisfying and gives an understanding of postures as a path to inner awakening. We will go more deeply into the practice of pranayama (energy control) with each yoga posture. By holding the postures longer we will deepen the inner experience of breath, energy flows, and affirmations. We will also have short discussions of yoga postures that relate to yoga philosophy and delve into making yoga a much more integral part of your life.
