Class Outline

Our classes run between an hour and an hour and a half (see the schedule for exact times) and many follow the same general format. Some classes are different, but here’s what you can expect:

Opening Teachers begin class by bringing awareness into the moment. They may do this through breath awareness, intention setting, and/or chanting an ‘Om.’

Warm-ups Before getting into deeper stretches, it is important to warm the body. Teachers guide students through a series of motions to get blood flowing through the muscles. Warm-ups may include Sun Salutations, a moving and breathing exercise that bends and stretches the body.

Postures After warm-ups, students are guided into a series of postures. Now that the muscles are primed for movement, postures will include deeper stretching and longer holds.

Closing postures and Savasana Following the core postures of the class, students are brought into savasana (pronounced ‘sha-va-sana’) or final relaxation through a few gentle closing postures. The teacher may lead a guided relaxation and then allow the peace to settle around you for about 10 minutes. Savasana is wonderful. Enjoy it!
