Class Donations

Classes are donation-based. Cash and Venmo accepted.

Donations are also accepted through Patreon. You can set up monthly donations for classes so you don't have to think about it every week.

My Patreon page is here.

I appreciate your support!

 

PRIVATE INSTRUCTION

While we’re waiting for the nice weather to allow for classes outdoors, I am taking private appointments in-person and on Zoom. Private sessions allow for personalized attention and can help to develop a better understanding of the Ashtanga Yoga sequence before heading to a class. Contact me directly for information.

Nature is calling, time to get outside, soak in the sunshine, feel the earth under your feet, and breathe in the fresh air.

ASHTANGA YOGA

Ashtanga Yoga has deep roots and is one of the most practiced yoga disciplines world-wide. Known as the “eight-limbed” yoga ("asto" means eight, "anga" limb), it was popularized by Sri Pattabhi Jois in the early 1970’s and brought to the west by his faithful students. The Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series is a deliberate sequence of poses connecting movement and breath, and builds strength and flexibility. It begins with sun salutations, followed by a sequence of standing poses (asanas), then seated poses – the “Primary Series,” and concludes with the finishing sequence. Each pose is connected by the Ujjayi breath, a deep and cleansing breath intended to increase prana with every breath and movement.
