Beginning Yoga Course
who's it for?
New & returning students to Iyengar yoga
In this dynamically paced class, we work with foundational poses and lots of movement as we begin a conversation with our body & mind through the practice of Iyengar Yoga.
Each class builds on the previous week, learning through both repetition and addition.
We explore movement and stability through standing & seated postures and beginning inversions.
This series can be repeated as many times as you like, creating a beautiful foundation for your home practice and further yoga studies.
Yoga for Elders & Elders to Be
who's it for?
Those who carry a lifetime of wisdom in their bones & in their cells, and would like a slower paced class. Beginners Welcome.
In this class, we explore how to:
- create mobility and stability in the body and mind
- build up our strength and stamina
- and quiet the brain even when the body is active.
And we do all that with lots of joy and laughter. You don't need to be an elder to join this class. Elders in training welcome too.
