Yoga:

We will be practicing a dynamic, sustainable, syrong, and compassionate Hatha yoga practice and flow, marrying together the traditions of Iyengar and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. We will also weave in workshopping, gentle and restorative yoga, and Yoga Nidra relaxation.

We will slowly and mindfully weave our way through alignment-based practices each day, taking time to workshop asanas and come-see-come-look moments, allowing students to demo postures as we practice.

Expect a sustainable practice with longer holds occasionally, flowing, breakdowns of alignment and postures, and a focus on the breath. Classes are wonderful and appropriate for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners and teachers. We ask students to be curious and expect to take a deep and joyful dive into the practice and their own inner ecology and wilderness.

Styles:

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Vipassana & Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Yin Yoga, General Yoga, Yoga Nidra

Skill Level: appropriate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced








Meditation:

We will enjoy guided meditation and will explore the style of Insight/Vipassana and mindful meditation.

Within this style, we will explore a variety of methods, including breath meditation, heart meditations, including a compassion meditation and a metta or living kindness meditation. We will talk about the basics of meditation, finding a comfortable seat, and the roots of mindfulness.

We will take time to explore seat options, mudras, our breath, and begin cultivating a greater sense of connection and intimacy with our own breath and mind, and we practice befriending the breath and befriending the mind on and off the yoga mat.

At the end of the day, yoga is life; it’s how we are living and how we are meeting ourselves on and off the yoga mat, and we can’t wait to share an incredible time together living well, immersed in practice, nature, and community.
