Class Descriptions

Ashtanga Mysore
The traditional method for learning the Ashtanga practice. During Mysore, students of all levels practice at their own pace and the instructor helps with the postures by means of hands on adjustments while reminding students of sequencing. A Mysore practice is developed slowly over time so that the student is able to memorize sequencing and the body is able to adapt to the postures. A common misconception about the Mysore practice is that you need to know the Primary Series to attend. Appropriate for all levels.

Boomer Yoga

Props and variations of postures combined with simple breathing and meditation techniques to help combat the negative effects of aging, and stress will be emphasized. Maintaining peace of mind and equipoise in your daily life can help you to be more joyful, compassionate, and content with the changes that life brings. Appropriate for all levels.
