relaxation techniques. Classes are taught sequentially.

who wish to deepen their yoga practice, learn more asanas with
more difficult variations, more challenging pranayama (breathing)
techniques, and deepen their understanding of yoga philosophy
and psychology. Classes typically finish with a guided meditation.

who wants to try yoga or to continue their study. Experienced
students are instructed how to deepen their postures, beginners
are led carefully through the basics. As with all classes, everyone
works to his or her comfortable capacity.
Props and Protocol

are good mats for sale in many stores. - Wear loose, comfortable clothing, bare feet. Layer your
clothing to be warm or cool as needed. - Grab a strap or an unused necktie. This will help with some
postures (and you can tie it around your mat.) - Practice on an empty stomach. A snack 2 hours before
class is okay. - Please refrain from wearing perfume, chewing gum, and
please turn off your cell phone before class begins.
