Introduction to Ashtanga:
This class will teach the fundamentals of ashtanga yoga, to prepare the student for the regular ashtanga and vinyasa classes.

Ashtanga Primary Series:
This class refers to the full primary series of the ashtanga system, as taught in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. This flowing sequence of postures utilizes ujjayi breath and bandhas (energy locks) to increases muscular strength, flexibility and concentration.

Mysore Ashtanga:
Mysore is a city in the south of India (see map) where Ashtanga yoga has been taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois since the 1930's. Students practice the Ashtanga series of their choice at their own pace, with individual instruction and adjustments. Intro to Ashtanga class suggested prior to beginning the Mysore classes.

Vinyasa Yoga:
Vinyasa classes use the flowing vinyasa movement of ashtanga yoga, but use a VARIETY of postures (instead of a set series of postures like Ashtanga yoga) to cultivate balance, flexibility, strength and endurance.

Introduction to Vinyasa:
This fun, engaging class set to upbeat music teaches the fundamentals of Vinyasa Yoga including sun salutations, standing poses, balancing postures, seated and reclining poses, backbends, core isolation and strengthening. Special emphasis is placed on moving into and out of postures safely, correct alignment, using the breath, and learning to quiet the chatter of the mind to find peace and inner stillness. Aimed primarily at newer students and those with a casual practice, this class is a great preparation for the regular Vinyasa and Ashtanga classes. Come along and discover just how good yoga can make you feel!

Vinyasa for Charity (Donation Class):
Set to upbeat music, this fun, engaging, ALL-LEVELS Vinyasa class (suitable for strong beginners and above), is especially for raising money to help support the work of the Shanti Bhavan Children's Project (
www.shantibhavanonline.org). Located in India, Shanti Bhavan is an exceptional school and home for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children of India's lowest caste, the so-called "untouchables" or dalits. The children come from families that have been denied basic human rights for centuries. Victims of extreme social discrimination, they are deprived of the opportunity to receive proper schooling which would support them continuing with higher education. Shanti Bhavan enables its children to aspire to careers of their choice - engineering, law, medicine, education, the arts - through world class education and globally shared values. Once educated and sucessful, the children will help their families and friends break out of he vicious cycle of economic destitution and become successful and productive members of society. As Abraham George, the founder of Shanti Bhavan has noted, "If 1 child is successful, he or she will carry a 1000 more forward." Donation by cash or check only. (Maya class packages and membership programs cannot be used towards the donation). 100% of your donation will go towards directly supporting the children of Shanti Bhavan.
