Class Descriptions and Rates
Hatha Yoga, is also known as hatha vidya or the "science of hatha" yoga. The word Hatha comes from combining the two Sanskrit terms "ha" meaning sun and "tha" meaning moon. The word "ha" refers to the solar nadi (pingala) in the subtle body and "tha" the lunar channel (ida). However, when the two components of the word are placed together, "hatha" means "forceful", implying that powerful work must be done to purify the body. Yoga means to yoke, or to join two things together, hence hatha yoga is meant to join together sun (masculine, active) energy with the moon (feminine, receptive) energy, thus producing balance and greater power in an individual.
Beginning Yoga (Yoga for Those Who Can't Touch Their Toes)
This is where you want to begin. In this class we will begin to explore the basics of yoga. Basic breathing techniques and poses will be taught in a gentle and non-judgmental way stressing safety and proper alignment. Whether you are limber or need yoga for those who can't touch their toes, this is the place to begin.
Iyengar Yoga is characterized by great attention to detail and precise focus on body alignment. Iyengar pioneered the use of "props" such as cushions, benches, blocks, straps, and even sand bags, which function as aids allowing beginners to experience asanas more easily and fully than might otherwise be possible without several years of practice. Props also allow tired or ill students to enjoy the benefits of many asanas via fully "supported" methods requiring less muscular effort.
Adaptive Yoga
This class is for those with physical challenges and teaches ways of still getting the benefits of yoga while using props, such as chairs and blankets. Interested? Send me an email and I'll let you know when the class opens.
