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.

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 shoulderstands

This therapeutic-style class comes from the ViniYoga tradition and are safe for anyone to attend. The breath inspires the entire sequence through small vinyasas, fluid movements in and out of poses, pranayama, and some meditations. Each class offers a combination of these activities to hold space for each student to learn more about where their body wants to evolve into a different expression. The classes are carefully sequenced to help the students learn how to transform the neuro-muscular patterns in their body into a more relaxed state. The beauty of these classes is that any yogi can make the class as challenging or restorative as they like, since there are many ways to adapt each pose.

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.

This class is suitable for those who feel comfortable practicing Sun Salutations and have prior experience with vinyasa yoga.  Meditation and simple chants open and close the class to create a mindful space.  Sequences explore Warrior poses, forward bends, balancing poses, twists and backbends.  Modifications are offered to allow every body to find centering within each pose.  Pranayama work outside of ujayii breath is introduced.  Students should be free of major injuries.
