50+ Yoga
These classes aim to address the flexibility, balance and stress needs of those

those taught in the Beginner A & B course, but they are done with more
support and with a gentler and more mindful approach.
Level I classes are for students who have either completed the former Beginner
A & B, the Introduction to Yoga course, or who have had previous training in Iyengar Yoga. If you have
had training in another style of yoga then please call to inquire about starting
at Level I. Inversions and simple back-bends are introduced.
Level II classes are for students who have been taking Level I classes
for at least one year, and who are confident in coming up in head balance (sirsasana).
Yoga philosophy (Patanjali's Yoga Sutras) are integrated more than in previous
levels into the practice of asana, and pranayama is taught every four weeks at
this level.
Level I-III is a monthly 3-hour workshop with a different focus each
month (please click here for workshop information
and dates).
Level II/III is for experienced students with a regular
practice. Variations in sirsasana and sarvangasana, back-bends,
forward-bends and twists of all kinds, and pranayama are taught in these
classes.
Multilevel is open to all students who have completed Beginner A &
B, or who have experience in other styles of yoga.

headaches, plantar faciitis, yoga for pregnancy. This class is open to those with or without experience in yoga.

and refresh scattered or stressed minds. No prerequisites are required for this class
Vinyasa is open to beginners and experienced students alike. Poses

Stress Reduction
This 6-week course is a very practical method for learning to experience each moment more fully. It involves learning to develop moment-to-moment awareness of your thoughts, feelings and body sensations through a number of mind-body practices including gentle stretching, meditation, breath awareness and full body awareness. The program will help you uncover inner resources for coping with stress, gain insight into the underlying basis of your stress reactions, and learn to transform problems into opportunities for growth.
