Class Descriptions
-
(Level 1 / All Levels)
These classes are intended to meet the needs of those in our community who may not otherwise be able to afford yoga, or for whom yoga has not felt accessible for racial and/or cultural reasons.
Passes are pay-what-you-can, $5-25.
-
An alignment-based Hatha practice with heart-centered themes. The practice is an integration of Anusara-inspired alignment principles with Tantric philosophy drawn primarily from Rajanaka Yoga (Douglas Brooks). Just as we are asked to engage more deeply with our body’s wisdom on the mat, Form & Flow also calls us to engage more deeply with our lives and our collective community.
Level I - includes basic poses and supportive cues. Slower-paced movement builds alignment, breath, and flow. Beginners always welcome.
Level I/II - is a beginner-intermediate class with clear cues and a moderate flow. Supports alignment, form, and expression.
Level II - is an intermediate-advanced class with stronger postures. Increases flexibility, strength, and stamina.

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where asanas are held for longer periods of time, up to several minutes. Yin poses are passive and involve a variety of seated and supine shapes; there is no aesthetic ideal. In Yin Yoga, we use gravity and the breath to safely stretch the connective tissues and create space in the joints, soothing the nervous system.

Meditation is simple and easy to do and has lasting benefits to both the mind and body. Time for questions will be provided and participants will have a chance to meditate together in silence for 15 to 20 minutes. No previous experiences necessary, all levels and abilities welcome.
