YOGA Rx Class Descriptions

Gentle/Beginning: An introductory level class. The basics of breath and movement will be explored in a gentle manner to stretch, strengthen and relax the body and mind. This is a good class for those without prior yoga experience, for students returning to yoga after a hiatus, or for anyone in recovery or with limited mobility.

All Levels: Asana (movement) and pranayama (breath regulation) will be explored in a setting which encourages the practitioner to listen to their own body's wisdom. The focus is on the overall experience of the practice rather than "perfecting a form." Theory and meditation may be included.

Intermediate Flowing Yoga: A guided yoga experience, consisting of a series of connecting postures (vinyasa style). Appealing to advanced beginners and intermediate students or those with some yoga experience.
