Level 2 Classes:

On-going Intermediate Yoga: In this class the practitioner will focus on a deep opening for a fuller expression of each pose. Typically will include a vinyasa series. Students are expected to have had a regular practice for at least 6 months.

Level 3 Classes:

Intermediate Heated Yoga: "Synergy Yoga" Classes feature a systematic approach to Hatha yoga suitable for levels of ability from intermediate to advanced. This scientifically developed series of postures moves thoroughly and safely working every part of the body. During each session the muscles are stretched in a naturally progressive sequence, with all major organs and systems of the body stimulated and strengthened. The classes are designed to be relaxing, refreshing and therapeutic. Following a traditional East Indian practice, the studio is heated to near body temperature, facilitating improved flexibility and a deeper stretch, as well as promoting a gradual detoxification of the tissues. The overall effect of this therapeutic environment is both rejuvenating and calming. Not typically recommend for beginning level practitioners.

All Levels Yoga:

Restorative Yoga: Restorative Yoga is referred to as "active relaxation." When the body is supported by props, we stimulate and deeply relax the body to move toward balance. Some restorative poses offer overall benefits, while others target specific body systems or parts, such as the nervous system and heart. By stimulating physiological responses we can reduce the negative effects of stress-related disease and promote overall health. Generally speaking, restorative poses are for those times when you feel weak, fatigued or stressed. Additionally, including a restorative class with your regular weekly practice can help to relax tight muscles, and seal in the effects of your regular practice. This rejuvenating yoga encourages students to explore range of movement and increase their body awareness. This and all Yoga helps to move the spine in different directions, putting in to practice the ancient Yogic idea that a healthy spine promotes well-being. Calming exercises are explored through the breath and tuning-in to fully surrender to the relaxation.

Old Guys Rule Yoga

Are you a man over 55?

If you don't have any aches or pains and you have full range of motion and your athletic abilities are as good as they have ever been...then this class is NOT for you!

However, if you are like most of us guys and you want the above to BE TRUE, then join me for "Old Guys Rule Yoga" and see what a difference yoga can make in your life.  This class is taught by Rob Edwards (definitely an old guy) who began yoga over 20 years ago and is a living testament to the benefits of yoga.
