CLASS & WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

Power Yoga is challenging, bringing the practitioner to their edge. Part of the challenge is allowing the ego to drop away and do what is right for your body in that moment, and maybe that means to take a break.. or maybe it means to push. Examining our behavior and internal dialogue, using our breath to be present and finding the focus to drop into sensations.

This class is designed for anyone who may be intimidated by Yoga and who are new to Yoga. We aim to love ourselves so deeply so that we may cultivate a deep love for our community, all life on Earth. We tune into our Breath as a way to connect to our inner self. When we have a loving connection with ourself, all of our parts, we can share this love for everyone and everything else - naturally creating more Harmony and Peace on Earth.

This workshop will engage participants in three important facets of yoga practice: Asana (Hatha Flow), Pranayama (Breath Technique) and Pratyahara (Meditation Practice). Beginning with a ~25 minute Hatha Flow, this asana practice will feature both beginning and intermediate poses with descriptive emphasis on proper positioning. Asana will then be followed by a ~15 minute Pranayama component with attention in alternate-nostril breathing techniques for stress reduction. This workshop will conclude with an introspective meditation practice curated to promote relaxation and self-awareness.
