"You don’t need to already be flexible, strong or coordinated to do yoga.   Yoga will take you there.  I invite you to start where you are, come as you are, and let yoga give you physical confidence, a new perspective and a sense of play in your ordinary life."

Basics:

Start where you are!  Basic level classes help you cultivate power in your legs and core, beginning with standing poses!  This class will help you open up areas of tightness such as hips and shoulders and get you moving with basic Sun Salutations sequences -- always with safety and a lot of attention from your teacher.  You'll be introduced to your breath, your mind and other people who think it's fun to stretch.

*This level is great for you if:  you are a beginner, are recovering from an injury, just had a baby, want to get back into shape, or you're tired and want to take it slow today.

Intermediate:

Intermediate classes turn you upside down!  With detailed stepping stones, develop the strength in your upper body to practice fun arm balances and inversions!   We also begin flowing through Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar A & B), learn Chatturanga Dandasana, and begin jumping back.  Find out about the secret toe movement and how to blossom a lotus!

*This level is right for you if: you are ready to work on arm balances, inversions, Chatturanga, and are ready for more flow in your practice. Advanced students are welcome at this level if they are looking for a slightly slower class.  Not sure if you're ready for Intermediate? If Basics is not challenging you, then give it a try!

Advanced:

News flash -- you do NOT need to BE advanced to come to advanced class.  And it's not scary at all.  The same friendly teachers you had in your other levels will be your guides as what you've learned before -- asana, pranayama, yoga philosophy -- comes together! Here is where you work on the stamina to do longer headstands and shoulder stands, discover more ways to bend backward, explore lotus, bindings and deep twists and experience the sweaty aliveness of asana practice.

*This level is right for you if: you have already received instruction in inversions and arm balances and are ready to learn more. 

STILL NOT SURE WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU?  ASK YOUR TEACHER.  IF YOU'VE BEEN TAKING BASICS YOU CAN TRY BASICS/INTERMEDIATE.  IF YOU'VE BEEN TAKING INTERMEDIATE TRY INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED.  ALL CLASSES ARE DROP IN SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN LEVELS AS YOU ARE TRANSITIONING OR JUST DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE TODAY.
