Class Descriptions |
|
| Beginner/ Recuperative Yoga | |
|
Designed for beginners
and those with physical challenges, or for those who just want a gentler
class. The class focuses on creating muscular balance through
proper alignment in yoga poses. Muscular strength and flexibility
are improved through developmental techniques that focus on improving
posture, motor skills, and body coordination.
|
|
| Intermediate Yoga | |
|
For hardy beginners or
more advanced students. This class focuses on creating techniques
to master some of the more difficult yoga poses. All are welcome
and techniques can be modified to suit the less advanced student.
|
|
| Core Conditioning for Yoga | |
|
The focus of this class
is to develop the muscle groups used in many yoga poses. Frequent
muscle aches and strains, or lack of advancement in yoga skills, may
indicate some missing links in fitness training. This class
teaches simple but effective exercises to strengthen core muscle
structures that stabilize the body. Resistance techniques and
various props will be used and provided in class. The intensity
level of this class can be modified to suit all levels of students.
