This is a gentle practice that facilitates restful relaxation and uses gravity instead of muscular force to stretch connective tissue. We begin the class with simple, breath-full movements to find a quality of ease and groundedness in the body and mind.

We then move into a sequence of Yin poses in which the body is supported by props (bolsters, blocks and blankets) and held for an extended period of time. The teacher uses guided visualization and pranayama (breathwork) to promote deep release. Students should be able to get down onto the floor with relative ease. Suitable for all levels.

NOTE: Please bring blankets and eye pillows, if possible, for use during practice, as props are limited. Register online well in advance, as this class fills up quickly.

This class combines movement and Yoga stretches for a mindful practice. Create more body awareness and theraputic release of tension through long-held yoga poses and movement. Focusing on the breath, through the poses, chanting, and meditation this class opens the lungs, heart and mind – energizing and calming simultaneously. Great for Beginners to Intermediate levels.

Yoga Level 1-2. A basic hatha asana practice. Warm up includes sun salutation flow and asana instruction designed to improve flexibility, balance, and strength. Each class aims to unwind habitual actions, provide comfortable rejuvenation, and teach the therapeutic value of different poses.

This class is designed for students who have a beginning knowledge of asana (postures) and sun salutations who want to expand their understanding of alignment and build strength and flexibility. Preparatory poses for advanced poses such as handstand, headstand, and backbends will be explored. This class assumes general good health and range of motion. This class is not designed for students with active injuries.

In this led class, we will follow the traditional Primary Series of Ashtanga, omitting the most challenging postures and many of the vinyasas with the purpose of bringing the grounding and invigorating aspects of the Primary Series to practitioners of ALL LEVELS.

In this class you will learn:

• Breath technique (pranayama), bandha engagement (energy locks), drishti (eye gaze)
• The Sun Salutations. (Suryanamaskar A & B)
• The traditional standing series of Ashtanga, presented with modifications
• The seated series modified and suited for beginners
• The traditional and modified finishing series including backbends and shoulder stands

This is a class intended to therapeutically build a strong foundation and core for your body to work from. During this class you can expect to find your physical edge and work on asanas/poses that keep you at that edge.

Most asanas will be focused on strengthening and stretching the major muscle groups (thighs, back, and abdominals) to help us feel supported at all times by our own bodies. There are modifications for all poses to accommodate most levels, so all are welcome. The structure of the class will be like Sage’s other therapeutic classes.

Set to music, this class builds heat, strength, flexibility and stamina through a vigorous sequence of poses.

To understand the Universal Law of Impermanence on an experiential level, students flow mindfully and breath-fully through standing and seated poses, twists and backbends. Inversions will be introduced in select classes. A nourishing savasana and ending meditation and chanting complete the experience. Prior yoga experience recommended
