The Active
Beginner class is meant to offer a range of appeal to those
with an active lifestyle who are beginning a yoga practice as well as those seeking to deepen their
understanding of foundational strength and breath. Classes are
physically challenging to all, with different variations of each
pose offered depending upon capability. Breath awareness,
basic postures, and muscle awareness are the three key
elements explored in these classes. Attendees are encouraged
to realize their personal limits in a safe and friendly
environment. |

Beginner/Intermediate |

These classes are
aimed at offering a bridge to those transitioning their practice.
Postures are more advanced, breath work is typically broadened, and
more variations are demonstrated and encouraged to bring more
intensity into the class. Those with an advanced yoga practice
will also find a challenge here. |
