Beginning Vinyasa is appropriate for all levels and great for beginners. Similar to the Vinyasa class in style and vigor, but with simpler poses and a slightly slower pace, this class is a perfect first step toward other Vinyasa, Ashtanga Based Vinyasa, and Power classes.
Vinyasa is appropriate for all levels. A vigorous, heat-building style of yoga linking poses together in a flowing sequence to build strength, stamina, and flexibility. Each class includes an improvised mix of sun salutes, standing and seated poses, and a finishing sequence.
Beginning Ashtanga (Donation-based) This noon hour class is a modified version of the Full Primary Series. Gently athletic, the class is appropriate for injury-free absolute beginners and experienced practitioners.
Ashtanga Primary Series is appropriate for all levels. Based on the Primary Series of Sri K. Pattahbi Jois, this style of yoga is a beautiful, flowing blend of breath and movement that cleanses and purifies the system. Considered a 'meditation in motion,' this class consists of sun salutes, and a specific sequence of standing, seated, and finishing poses.
Self-Led Mysore/Open Practice (Donation-Based) Develop the discipline of a more inwardly directed, self-led practice within the support of community. This class is for anyone able to lead themselves through any form of the Ashtanga Primary Series or any other yoga practice. Handouts of the Primary Series are available for those who have not fully memorized the sequence. There is no verbal cueing. Instead, the class is instructor-assisted which allows each student to work at his or her own individual pace while the instructor provides individual attention as needed. Mysore practice places emphasis on Sri K. Pattabhi Jois' long-held belief that the practice becomes the teacher.
SPECIAL CLASS...108 Sun Salutations (Saturday, June 21, 1:15-2:30 pm) 108 is an auspicious and sacred number in yogic traditions. It is a long-standing practice at the change of seasons to flow through 108 Sun Salutations, honoring the sacred cycles within and without. With its wide range of movements, it has been said that Surya Namaskara contains an entire practice within it, and the seamless repetition of 108 salutes creates a deeply meditative state of being and a connection to the peace of the present moment. Within the support of community, we will move and breathe as one. I will count the mala beads, and guide you through the practice. Appropriate for all levels, there is no pressure to complete the entire 108. You may give yourself permission to rest or to modify as your energy requires. We will begin and end with a chant. Pre-registration, but no pre-payment is required. Call the studio or email Margie to register.
Ashtanga Q & A (Saturday, April 12, 3:00-5:30 pm, $35...pre-registration required) Deepening Your Experience! Bring your questions and we'll explore! Whether you are a regular Ashtanga practitioner or only occasionally dabble in this flowing, sequenced series, don't miss the chance to ask the questions you carry about the chants, the history, the philosophy, ujjayi breathing, bandhas, drishti, elusive poses and transitions, making modifications, taking next steps and venturing into Second Series. We'll make our way through Primary Series (and the first part of Second Series) exploring one question at a time. All levels are welcome, although any previous experience with the practice will be helpful.
Chanting Workshop with Margie & Ben (Saturday, April 26, 3:00 - 5:30 pm, $40...pre-registration required) Explore the Yoga of Chanting! For thousands of years the practices of yoga have been passed from teacher to student by chanting and contemplation. Although not lost with the rise of printed text, the importance of this practice has fallen behind asana (postures) and other forms of meditation. Through the use of traditional invocations, a chant to create sacred space, and traditional closing prayers, we will explore the proper pronunciation of Sanskrit sounds, the meaning of traditional chants, and the essential practice of listening. As the thread that unites all yogic practices, listening is a fundamental skill, not just on the mat, but in our work and relationships in the world. For those who ever feel fearful, shy or confused, chanting will deepen your practice and help you to speak your truth. Join us for an afternoon of personal exploration and spiritual communion.

Ashtanga Primary Series Explore the traditional Primary Series of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois as the foundation for developing a daily home practice. Using the synchronization of conscious breath and movement, this vigorous vinyasa-style yoga includes a specific sequence of sun salutations, standing, seated, and finishing poses to create a moving meditation that builds strength, stamina, flexibility, balance, and inner awareness. Chanting and meditation are also used to open and close the class. Practitioners should be injury-free, although modifications are offered to meet all levels of experience. Drop-in rate: $15, 8-Class Pass: $80.

Note: All studios have mats and some props available for your use, however, for sanitary reasons and to encourage you to develop a personal practice at home, I suggest investing in a mat of your own. Prices range from $12-$65, and are available at some studios, at many local retail stores, and online (see workshops & links page).
