Multi level yoga practice to start your day. One hour sequence of alignment based vinyasa with an emphasis on the breath. The classes are structured around a peak pose (crow; camel), or an anatomical focus (spine; feet), or an asana focus (back bends; hip openers), or a theme (energize; anxiety). The practice always ends with final relaxation.
Intro to Ashtanga Vinyasa
Tuesday 6:15pm - 7:30pm
On Zoom & In Studio
1861 Springfield Avenue, Maplewood, NJ
Inspired by the Ashtanga Yoga method, this class incorporates postures and vinyasas from the primary and intermediate series. Postures are linked with the breath in a flowing sequence (vinyasas) with cues to the use of the bandhas (energetic and muscular locks) which assist you in moving safely in and out of postures and holding them. The use of props enable practitioners to access the full expression of postures. And, as needed, incorporate modifications of the postures. This class is orchestrated in a fun, energetic and light-hearted way. Yoga should be a celebration of life, a way to express your unique self, and a time to enjoy connecting with mind, body, and spirit.
Vinyasa Yoga
Wednesday 11:30am - 12:45pm
On Zoom & In Studio
1861 Springfield Avenue, Maplewood, NJ
This class is a dynamic style of yoga integrating movement and breath with an emphasis on awareness and alignment to build strength, focus, flexibility and balance. After centering with the breath, the class begins with light stretching, moves through some Sun Salutations and then a creative sequence of standing and seated postures such as forward bends, twists, backbends and arm balances. The sequences vary from week to week, from a peak pose to an anatomical focus. This class is invigorating, calming and grounding.
Over time, movement in the sequence becomes more fluid, quieting the mind and fostering a deep presence, a moving meditation. The breath remains calm and full even in challenging postures.
Options and modifications are offered to make your practice as gentle or challenging as you need.
