Yoga

Looking to deepen your practice but not interested in becoming a yoga teacher? This course is a 5 class series, or you can join in for one topic at a time. For the History portion we will be discussing yoga's roots, key literature, concepts and vocabulary. Come with an open mind and as we travel back to our roots.

In the breath segment, we will focus on what pranayama (breath) is, how to control it utilizing different techniques and how to incorporate pranayama into our current yoga practice.

**If you are pregnant, certain pranayama techniques will not be appropriate for you to practice. The instructor will advise during class, but be aware.

In the posture segment, we will focus on key postures in the 'Modern Vinyasa Yoga System'. We will focus on alignment, benefits, contraindications and methods on how to improve each.

During the energy segment, we will discuss chakras- what they are, what they mean and how to utilize them in our practice. We will also discuss mudras, bandhas and other means to draw and control your energy spheres.

The mind class will be focused on meditation. We will learn what meditation is, how to utilize it in our daily lives and why it plays such a significant role in the path of yoga. We will discuss mantras, mala beads, the "best" ways to meditate and different techniques you can practice daily.

Gotta gotta get up to get down... Practice Variance

Enjoy the sweat and movement of a vinyasa flow with a little more emphasis on alignment. Alignment cues and short explained demos will allow for you to work more challenging poses into the sequence and create a greater understanding of mechanics, alignment, strength and surrender as you build your practice. These principals can be applied to any level yogi, whether you are in class for the first time or an experienced practitioner.

If the class is labeled BEGINNER, feel empowered that this class will teach you how Alignment Flow classes work, without leaving you confused or overwhelmed.

"The happiest people spend much time in a state of flow- the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at a great cost, for the sheet sake of doing it." -Mihaly Csiksgentmihalyi

Casual CrossFit Yoga: are you a CrossFitter (or SWIFTer?) who's looking for some stretching, mindfulness and breathing without the intimidation and woo woo shiz? Then this is the class for you.

Use this class on your rest days and to increase range of motion, focus and recovery.

Thoughtful adjustments and hands on assists are an important and rapidly disappearing skill when it comes to the yoga room these days. The pendulum has swung from the days of sitting on the kurmasana of a student in order to flatten them out, to attempts at guiding through only words. This workshop will give both experienced teachers and those newer to the front of the room, the format to turn any shape into an opportunity for deep physical and energetic dialogue. We will discuss the ground rules of adjusting, how to set and work from clear intention, how to see the bodies in front of you and unpack what you can do to be of service, and even explore some of classic and funky adjustments to add to your tool box. Come with or without a person to adjust and a willingness to get down to it. Expect lots of hands on work, and communicating with old and new friends alike.

We seek to honor the entire practice in ever class, however the focus is often diverted to two of the 8 limbs: postures and breathwork. This class seeks to serve the other 6 limbs. We will discuss our philosophy focus for the week, engage in kirtan (call and response singing) and have a brief moment for meditation. Come one, come all to honor the deep tradition of yoga.
