CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Gentle Ashtanga: All Levels
Beginning level class that focuses on foundational postures, movements and mindful breathing. This class is ideal for students who are new to
yoga, looking for a relaxing practice or healing injuries. Making the Ashtanga Yoga practice accessible for everyone; standing postures that build
strength and endurance are taught as well as slow floor postures that help to release the muscles of the hips and spine.
Appropriate for beginners and or those looking for a deeper stretch and more focus on relaxation in class.
Classic Postures- Level 1:
Classic Yoga postures and their modifications that cover the basic alignment principles and positions common to all styles of yoga. Body
alignment is taught and emphasized in each posture. Develop stability, strength, and balance while deepening your practice and understanding
of Yoga. Sun salutations are introduced. Appropriate for beginners or for experienced practitioners that are looking for a lighter, calming class.
Classic Postures- Level 2:
A continuation of the Classic Postures Level 1 class. Includes alignment for postures that extend beyond the fundamental postures. Sun
salutations are practiced. Appropriate for students who are comfortable with the fundamental standing postures, are ready to include variations
of the basic postures, and would like to increase both strength and flexibility beyond Level 1 classes.
Ashtanga Fundamentals:
A complete workout with strength building standing postures, hip and spinal flexibility increasing floor postures and a cooling finishing
sequence. This is intended for students who are new to the Ashtanga sequence of postures or those who would like a condensed, more
gentle version of the full Ashtanga Primary Series. We will begin with six sun salutations and follow with the Fundamental standing postures
that are traditional to Ashanga Yoga. The floor postures will be condensed with a ' vinyasa' placed in between each posture if you choose to do
so. We will follow the traditional finishing sequence with modifications for any student who desires one.
Ashtanga Full Primary Series: Level 2 and up
A 90 minute led class following the set sequence and pace that is traditional to Ashtang Yoga. Aerobic and strength building, recommended for
students who are familiar with the classic postures and are ready for a challenge. Class will begin with Surya Namaskara A and B (Sun
Salutations); the breath and movement are synchronized as the body smoothly flows through the postures. This practice is detoxifying and
therapeutic as it builds body heat, increases flexibility and strength while focusing the mind. Please see www.kpjayi.org for more information on
the sequence and Ashtanga method. Appropriate for intermediate level students or those familiar with the classical postures and wanting more
aerobic intensity in their practice.
Ashtanga Intermediate (Second) Series: Strong Level 2 and up
Sun Salutations A and B and fundamental standing postures followed by the Ashtanga Second (Intermediate) Series. The Second Series will
be led by an instructor. Postures are explored for those new to the sequence and modifications are given if needed. There is an emphasis on
backbends, hip openers and inversion in the second series. The Ashtanga Primary Sequence has an emphasis on forward bending and core
strength.
Sivananda Style Flow: Level 2
A unique and fun series that begins with floor postures followed by the standing postures. Designed to stimulate the chakra (energy) centers of
the body from the crown to the root (top of the head to the base of the spine), resulting in a peaceful, relaxed state. A series of gentle modified
Sun Salutations will start the class, followed by inversions to stimulate the crown chakra, backbends to stimulate the heart chakra, forward
bends for the solar plexus chakra, and standing postures for the root chakra. Alternatives to inversions are always offered if desired. This class
is perfect for a someone who is ready to shake things up and try the familiar postures in a different order!
Focus Classes: All Levels
Special classes that will lead you through postures that focus on a specific intention of practice or region of the body. Intentions include hip
openers, improving low back and hamstring flexibility, increasing spinal flexibility and rotation, shoulder and neck openers, digestion, balance,
and mindfulness. Appropriate for all levels.
Therapeutic Flow: Level 1 and Up
Therapeutic yoga provides the tools to help you on your journey towards health and wellness. These classes provide an effective practice for
those recovering from, or living with, injury or illness. Therapeutic Yoga blends restorative yoga (supported postures), gentle yoga, and
breathing techniques in such a way that it is an excellent choice for those who need something gentle yet effective for bringing the body into
balance and reducing stress.
Restorative Yoga: All Levels
Restorative yoga emphasizes the calming of the nervous system and teaches the art of relaxation, which has tremendous mental and physical
benefits. A series of rejuvenating and supported poses are taught to promote vitality and create a state of deep relaxation. It melts tensions
away and leaves you feeling completely refreshed and fully restored.
Mysore Style ~ Open Practice: All levels
Enjoy the freedom to practice at a pace and sequence that you choose. A quiet space reserved for like minded Yogi's who just would like the
energy of practicing in a group, but choose not to be led by an instructor. Come in, roll out your mat and start you practice. Come and go as you
please with respect to the others in the room. No talking in class and please enter and exit quietly. Copies of the Ash tango Primary Series and
Sun Salutations are available if you would like a guide to follow.
