All Classes require RSVP. The Schedule may change & evolve monthly to accommodate new students interested in exploring what this system is all about and those dedicated to learning the complete system.
New Students are required to attend at least four somewhat consecutive Foundations (Tāĺāsana) classes before attending other Yoga Vinyāsa classes. A "New" Student is someone new to this particular yogic system whether a beginner or long time yoga practitioner. The system is very distinct from other well known vinyāsa/vinyāsa krama practices. It is comprehensive with practices that build upon one another for physical, mental & pranic cultivation and there are certain parameters for implementing the practices and a bit of a shift for some who have studied many modern influenced practices. There is an emphasis on memorizing and regularly practicing Tāĺāsana, specific purification, prānāyāma & other fundamental practices to set a strong foundation and understand the essence of this particular system. Note the terms beginning and advanced relating to yoga are relative. There are so many aspects, practices and nuances of yoga depending on the practice and context. Tāĺāsana is the foundational sequence and has beginning to advanced variations and levels of practice. Everyone comes to this practice with different backgrounds - and I find that no one is a complete beginner - this system is not just about putting the body in certain positions - it requires mental focus, inner cultivation and dedication to the breath.
If one has any injuries or health concerns, please contact me to see if it is appropriate to attend the scheduled classes. This system can be used therapeutically - yoga is originally meant to accommodate the individual, but group classes can often be unfit for certain individuals. Although the classes are intimate and can be catered to each student with certain modifications, some group classes may still be unsuitable depending on the situation. As privates may be too costly for some, I can schedule private groups for those with injuries, physical limitations or other health concerns.
