Mixed Levels
To flow gracefully and effortlessly in and out of poses, it's essential to stay vibrant and grounded in the breath. Come study the essential and elusive activity of Mula Bandha and the strong, grounding effect of correct Ujjayi Pranayama. The actual Mula Bandha is a conjunction of complimentary movement patterns, which open the central axis of the body right up through the root of the palate. We'll flow seamlessly through these movement patterns, following the thread of the central axis.
Mostly asana.

Intermediate
Learn to refine Ashtanga Yoga's finishing poses (inversions and sitting posture) by working the subtle movements of the shoulders, arms, neck, head, spine, tongue, and palate. Like a perfect dessert after a fine meal, these gentle subtleties will aid in making pranayama and meditation natural.

Mixed Levels
Come for an intricate exploration of the internal forms of Ashtanga Yoga based on postures of the primary series. The universal form of internally integrated yoga posture will be experienced as a continuous joining and separating of masculine and feminine movements. Students will learn to pay close attention to the meditative quality of form and movement as a means of bringing refinement to their practice. Paying detailed attention to subtle technique will prove to be the way of avoiding injury and integrating obstacles. **This class has been approved by American Council on Exercise (ACE) for 0.2 CECs.**
