All Classes:
Classes are open to all levels; and participants are given modifications or challenges as may be appropriate.   Students are encouraged to practice with emphasis on continued breath awareness, alignment, and safety.  
 
Hatha:
As we practice asana, pranayama, mantra, and meditation, each student is encouraged to honor both their gifts and their limitations.   Props are used in every class so that students can experience a deeper opening on all levels. Classes usually are a blend of vinyasa, classical yoga poses, Iyengar-inspired usage of props, and inner work. In the hatha classes we will break down and modify as needed the traditional yoga poses so that everyone can get the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic benefits of this ancient healing art.  We’ll explore the balance between effort and surrender; empowering everyone to find their own place of inner balance and joy. 
Restorative:
This class is for you if you think you can't "do" yoga. Maybe your knees hurt, or you have tight ankles or shoulders?  The hips, hamstrings, and back are stiff?  Trouble balancing?  Short of breath? Joints losing their ranges of motion?  Do you truly feel good in your body?  Would you like your mind to be calmer and clearer?  

This less active class combines guided meditation, restorative and modified traditional yoga poses, progressive relaxation, and a variety of breathing techniques to give you a strong but elastic body, a feeling of general well-being, and a joyful, peaceful mind.   We will focus on opening the body effortlessly, finding space and releasing compression and stiffness without struggle or strain - find your own suitable place to be in each pose and stay as long as appropriate or suggested.
