Ashtanga Yoga Full Primary
With careful emphasis on tradition, this class presents the Full Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. The Primary Series is an uninterrupted, rhythmic, meditative flow. It reintroduces natural range of motion in the joints of the body to increase mobility, it aids in purifying the body through internal cleansing of the organs, muscles and connective tissue and it increases strength of both body and mind through breath, movement, and concentration. This class can be challenging. Those with less experience can observe postures or choose to modify. It generally takes about three months of regular practice to become accustomed to the flow, but you will begin to experience benefits after just a few classes. Hands-on adjustments will be given. No water bottles please.
Duration: 90 minutes

Slow Flow
Come and enjoy the delicious synthesis of movement, breath, and energy! When the breath and movement are connected together in a rhythmic fashion the body becomes light and fluid while the mind quiets down and the practitioner finds a sense of calm and presence, the true goal of yoga. This class is active and warm for the first half hour. Once the body has created enough internal heat we move into hip openers, heart openers and deep stretching. For many people, Slow Flow classes are the perfect mix of challenge and ease. This class is designed for all levels with modifications offered. New students always welcome!
