General Guidelines for All Classes
Gentle: Great for beginners or those who desire a gentle paced class with standing postures, balancing poses, seated postures, and relaxation. Perfect for learning alignment of poses and breath work.
All Level: Medium paced yoga class with variations for different levels of student ability and experience. This class will dive more deeply into all asanas with a non-aggressive approach. Emphasis will be on developing a steady practice with continued emphasis on breath and alignment.
Level II:For those with yoga experience and an understanding of proper alignment in most of the classical yoga asanas. These classes are often a faster pace for those who want a bit more challenge. More advanced poses, including inversions and hand balancing can be incorporated as well as longer periods of seated stillness and meditation. Also more advanced types of pranayama are introduced. Emphasis is placed on curiosity, openness to change and an ability to stay focused and with the breath.
