Been practicing yoga for a while? Not sure where you fit in? We encourage everyone to take a 12-week session of NEWBIE YOGI YOU-BE to learn about or improve his/her yoga technique for a more efficient, easeful, and energizing practice. There’s no point in practicing incorrectly – we’re only reinforcing bad habits.
1. I confess I’ve been too much of a couch potato. I’m recovering from an illness or injury; I’m dealing with a weight issue; I have ongoing back/shoulder/knee ... problems. Therefore, I should start with SITTING FULL, our Seated Yoga class.
2. My balance is good, I have strong legs, I’m fit and I’m ready for some physical challenges. I’ve never taken yoga before or I’ve only had a few classes. I may have studied somewhere else but I never really developed a solid foundation or proper technique. In other classes I’ve taken I never learned three-part breathing or how to forward bend properly (from the hips!) or how to move from spinal flexion into spinal extension or vice versa. I have no significant limitations so I’m good to go with NEWBIE YOGI YOU-BE.
3. YOGALICIOUS is for those who have completed NEWBIE YOGI YOU-BE. I have a solid foundation, but I don't have the stamina, strength or flexibility to keep up in CHAKRA CHARGE I. A lot of those poses I've never done before, so a session of YOGALICIOUS will give me the tools I need for CHAKRA CHARGE I.
4. I am ready to take CHAKRA CHARGE I because I know the Beginning and Intermediate postures and can do them correctly. I'm well familiar with Dirgha Breath, Kapalabhati and Ujjai pranayama and I know how to integrate breath. I can do full Sun Salutations moving from plank [Chaturanga Dandasana] into Upward Facing Dog [Urdhva Mukha Shvanasana]. I can stay in shoulder-stand for two to three minutes. I’m a warrior at holding Warrior and other poses, and I’m ready to work on arm balances.
5. YOGA FOCUS: I have the basics down and I want to focus on specific areas of the body, so this is a great class for me.
6. HOT YOGA 4 CORE: I have the basics down and I love practicing yoga in a heated room. I've taken Hot Yoga before, but my core needs strengthening and I want to expand my knowledge of yoga poses and yoga philosophy. I understand that the ancient texts state that there are more than 840,000 yoga poses. I think it's time to learn more than just 26 of them.
7. YOGA FOR TEENS I’m a young person who needs tools for expressing the exciting energy that is constantly moving through me. Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going. I’ve heard that yoga can be really relaxing and centering as well as energizing. I could use the concentration that I’ve heard yoga develops
8. I'm a spiritual seeker and I want to know the SCIENCE OF THE SELF. I'm hungry to understand the key aspects of yoga philosophy and I'm open to learning about the yoga system and the science of the Self.
9. My schedule is always so unpredictable that I cannot commit to a regularly scheduled classes. I prefer one-on-one since I’m shy about my abilities and I like the intimacy of highly personalized instruction. PRIVATE YOGA is for me.
10. THAI YOGA BODYWORK is a gift that I can give to myself. Being stretched by someone else is the ultimate luxury!
