LEVELS + DESCRIPTIONS

LEVEL 1
This class is for absolutely anyone of any age, shape or size to experience the many benefits of yoga. No experience or flexibility required. Focus is on the correct positioning of basic yoga postures within one’s own body, while using props to increase the freedom and mobility of the body while concentrating on the breath to quiet the mind.

LEVEL 1/2
This class will dive deep into all asanas with a non-aggressive approach and moderate pace which allows you to dissolve into a more open, graceful body and relax into a steady mind. This class is open to all levels, but due to the slower tempo it is appropriate for beginners as well.

LEVEL 2
This class explores the beginning stages of advanced poses while keeping a focus on developing stamina and flexibility. After learning the basics, we concentrate on jumping forward and back in sun salutations, binding, explore challenging asanas, arm balances, inversions, and more vigorous sequences. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

LEVEL 2/3
In this vigorous yoga practice we build strength internally as well as externally. We cultivate concentration, confidence, and endurance. This class explores asanas with advanced variations and leads us to find our true inner potential by playing the edge while embracing the challenge. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

ABSOLUTE BEGINNER YOGA
Join us for this simple class designed exclusively for new yoga students. In this straight-forward and supportive class environment, you will be introduced to the basics of yoga and gain confidence to attend a Level 1 and Level 1/2 class at exhale!
