Ashtanga Yoga - Half Primary Series
The Ashtanga Primary Series is a defined sequence of poses, linked together with breath, bandhas, and dristi. The practice is designed to build strength and focus, offering opportunities for individual growth and progress in the sequence. This class begins with the sun salutations and moves through all the standing poses of the sequence, followed by a portion of the seated poses.
While some knowledge of yoga terminology and the Ashtanga practice is valuable for this class, all levels are invited to join us. This is a led class with modifications and hands-on assists offered to meet the needs of each student's level of strength, experience, and flexibility. Students are encouraged to attend our Intro to Ashtanga series for additional guidance prior to or in tandem with attending this class.

This class uses rotations of different exercise "stations" on your mat, to complete a circuit. Completing a workout in this circuit format allows you to hit all muscle groups and provides a total body workout in a fast-paced atmosphere, where you are in control of the intensity of your workout. The circuits incorporate yoga movements to allow you to focus on your form, while providing modifications to every level and goal.

Yin Yoga
The hallmark of yin yoga is that poses (floor or supine) are held for about three to five minutes at a time in order to stretch the connective tissue around the joints and bring the practitioner to a state of mental calmness. This soothing, healing practice allows us to settle into the present moment, engaging deeply with the body, mind and spirit.
