Level and Class Descriptions

The Breathing Lab (Alexander Technique)
Add to what you already know, change patterns that cause you discomfort, and discover you have more choices. Apply the principles of the Alexander Technique to yoga, dance and everyday activities. Participants will experiment in activity, learn body mapping and other concepts. Continuing students, beginners, and drop-ins welcome!

Alexander Technique may be experienced in the Breathing Lab with Carol Levin. Please see our workshops page for details.

All Levels
Emphasis on stationary alignment technique. Some movement patterns will be explored. May include stronger standing poses and moderate backbends. Head and shoulderstand may be introduced. Fine for raw beginners as well as those who have been practicing longer.

Beginning Yoga
No experience required
Using time-proven techniques and principles of alignment, participants will receive detailed instruction in the postures accompanied by individual attention and hands-on adjustments. You will be encouraged to work within your own ability and limitations, learning to work safely and effectively.

Flow Classes (yoga movement, also called vinyasa)
Beginning Flow
Students will develop a basic understanding of the sun salutation, beginning standing and seated postures, as well as proper alignment and transition technique. Appropriate for those with little or no yoga experience.

All Levels Flow
Appropriate for beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners. Students are encouraged to work within their own ability and limitations in order to work safely and effectively.

Intermediate "Go"
This continuous movement class incorporates alignment and detail while in the pose. Deconstruction of postures only occurs as a sidebar upon request by the students, or if approaching an unusual posture. Must be proficient in head and shoulder stand, or be skilled in alternative postures.

Gentle Yoga
This class will cover basic poses from the Iyengar yoga system and will be taught at a slower pace. All ages and abilities welcome, especially those who experience overall muscle stiffness and those wanting more flexibility. Senior discount available, please inquire.

Meditation & Kirtan
This class will show the immeasurable benefits of meditation and chanting. We will learn the fundamentals of meditation where you will be taken through a guided practice. Following this meditation practice, we will enjoy Kirtan together. A form of Bhakti, or devotional yoga, Kirtan is the call-and-response chanting of mantras with the accompaniment of musical instruments. Meditation and chanting can help restore balance and harmony, creating peace of mind and contentment. Suitable for anyone new or old to meditation and chanting. Proceeds go to charity.

Skill in Asana (Master Class)
Continuing Teacher Training Education
These master classes are recommended for students who want intellectual as well as physical understanding of the asana. Postures (asana) and movement patterns (vinyasa) are deconstructed, and principles of anatomy and movement are tested and practiced for accuracy, safety, and grace. May include meditation and pranayama. Ideal for yoga teachers, those wanting to teach yoga, other movement professionals, or students wishing depth and knowledge in their practice.

Three years yoga practice, a fundamental understanding of head and shoulder stand as well as alignment and breath technique required, along with a sense of humor.

This class counts as CECs with the Yoga Alliance under the category of Techniques, Training and Practice.

Special Needs Yoga
Ages 14 and up.
This is a yoga class for all people with developmental disabilities. We focus on gentle stretching and strength building through postures (asanas), breathing, and relaxation. This is a fun class where participants can come and enjoy a group yoga practice that is individually adapted to meet each student's needs. All levels are welcome.

Sivananda Yoga
Sivananda yoga is a style of traditional hatha yoga developed by a great sage from India in order to help people gain peace of mind and contentment. It is a balance of breathing (pranayama), postures (asana), and relaxation (savasana). This class can be seen as a moving meditation where students move slowly from posture to posture while focusing their attention and energy inward. In our daily lives, our senses are constantly being overloaded, therefore, allowing yourself some time to quiet the mind will have great benefits. Students will leave class feeling relaxed, reenergized, and renewed.

Yoga to Unwind
Unwind class will help you settle down and lighten up. This general level yoga class emphasizes alignment-based movement and includes meditation and breath work.

All-Levels Viniyoga
Viniyoga emphasizes a breath-centered, personalized approach to asana. It is appropriate for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, and students will receive clear verbal instruction to meet the individual needs of each person in the class. The stress relief alone makes this time well spent, but you will also experience the benefits of increased strength, flexibility, and fun! All levels welcome.
