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 This Vinyasa (synchronized breath and movement) class includes an improvised mix of sun salutations, standing and seated postures, chanting, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, plus yin or restorative postures. Come and practice creating the space for being fully awake in your life...physically present, mentally clear, emotionally balanced, spiritually connected and responding consciously to all your experiences. Some experience is helpful.
Beginning Ashtanga 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.
1st & 3rd Friday Chanting (Dates: April 2 & 16, May 7 & 21, June 4 & 18) Come and explore the ancient yogic art of chanting sacred mantras. We'll use the sound and silence of the voice, the breath, and the heart to create a joyful, meditative, expansive state of consciousness. Let go into the healing energy and peace of living fully in the present moment. Sit, close your eyes, still the mind, relax and enjoy--sing along, just listen, or even get up and dance as we allow ourselves to be graced by the healing vibrations of this heart-opening practice. All ages are welcome. No experience is needed. Handouts and information about each chant provided.
SPECIAL CLASS...108 Sun Salutations (Saturday, June 19, 3:30-5:00 PM, $15 or use your class pass) 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.

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).
