▪ Basics/ Introduction to Yoga= I'm new to yoga or simply looking for a gentler practice. You may also consider visiting our Introduction to Yoga page.
▪ Level 1= Similar to Basics with focus on breathwork and alignment. I have some yoga experience, feel comfortable making modifications to suit the poses I am still working on, and want to continue to expand my practice.
▪ Level 1-2 = I have become a regular yoga practitioner and am looking for some challenge, but still enjoy working on alignment and with more detail. This class may include work on building steady inversions, moving towards a half or full lotus, and preparing for simpler hand balances.
▪ Level 2= I am a solid yoga practitioner, practice a variety of poses including working towards freestanding inversions, half and full lotus variations, more challenging hand balances and backbends. I'm looking to challenge myself in new ways. May not be appropriate for beginners, those who are working with an injury, or Pre/Post Natal women.
▪ Level 2-3 = I am an experienced practitioner with a regular practice attending a few classes per week. I'm attuned to my body and prepared to self-modify. I'm looking for lots of challenge. I'm prepared for half and full lotus variations, strong backbends, unsupported inversions, and challenging hand balances. This class is not be appropriate for beginners, those who are working with an injury, or Pre/Post Natal women.
