  JIVAMUKTI Open (75min or 90min)
  Beginners and seasoned practitioners alike transition from moderate to advanced postures by injecting the mystical into the physical.  Ancient yogis understood that the body comes into the alchemy of movement when instilled with intention, purpose, and connection. Postures are skillfully introduced and sequenced, infused with non-dogmatic Yoga philosophy, suggestions from one’s own voice as revealed in the chanting of ancient mantras, as well as the all-elusive sound of one’s own breath. Variations to optional advanced poses are offered so practitioners can work at their own level, moving through arm balances, deep hip openers, twists, chest expanding backbends and inversions.

  Through a feeling of integration, greater stamina, and inner poise, expect increased vitality and greater clarity in all modes of self-expression. Open to all levels of practitioners.

  After having learned the fundamentals of Iyengar Yoga, this faster paced, mixed level class encourages students to cultivate a consistent, personalized, and informed practice. This class introduces students to a range of poses including forward and back extensions as well as twisting postures and head balance. Level II into Level III deepens the students’ awareness and experience of the more subtle and profound aspects and effects of asana. Having attained a level of stability and ease, students may hold asanas for longer periods of time, learn variations and begin the journey to reflection and meditation in asana. At this level, students are strongly encouraged to practice at home regularly so that their personal understanding of yogic postures begins to fuel their understanding of refinements taught in class.
