Class Levels

Level 1:

Discover and build a strong foundation from which to build the rest of your practice from. Our Beginner classes are foundational, learning experiences where students re-discover and inquire as to how their individual body moves, works, and creates stability. All Beginner classes are designed to give you the time and support to understand the proper alignment of Yoga asanas (postures) and breathing techniques. You will begin by focusing on the basics, and as you move beyond the basics you take with you this strong foundation. Our level 1 teacher’s are skilled at guiding students through proper alignment, and at teaching the fundamentals of proper yogic breathing. It is in level 1 that confidence is created, and a sense of empowerment and freedom in the body, that ultimately leads us on the path to freedom in the mind is created.

Level 1-2:

EExplore beyond the foundation, cultivating balance between strength and flexibility. As students enter into level 1-2 the fundamentals of yoga are still emphasized, while new postures that focus on balance, longer holds, and varied engaging sequences present growth and continual learning that feeds upon the foundation already built. Our level 1-2 classes create and hold the space for further awareness in the mind and body, serving to lead students in new and exciting challenges, guiding them safely and effectively.

Level 2:

Experience the union of opposites, strength and stability, rooting and rebounding. Our Level 2 classes are designed to take you to the intermediate level where you will expand on your strength, stamina and flexibility as you explore new and challenging postures (inversions, backbends) and more demanding sequences. Level 2 classes will help you take your practice to a whole new level.

Level 2-3:

Expand the limits and edges of your physical body and yoga practice. Our Level 2-3 classes assume that students are familiar with intermediate yoga postures (including inversions and backbends). Intermediate postures will deepen into variations of familiar inversions introduced in level 2. A foundation for advancing arm balances and inversion variations are explored. In our level 2-3 classes students move past the shell of the pose and move to the depth of the pose. Students cultivate deepened awareness through the concentration (dharana) created with mindful vinyasa flow. We recommend you have prior yoga experience, and a strong foundation before you join 2-3 classes. Level 2-3 classes are transformative, and powerful.
