ashtanga I, ashtanga II & ashtanga flow
is a vigorous form of yoga that focuses on realigning the body through a flowing sequence of postures connected by breath, gaze, and internal body locks.  This form of yoga produces a cleansing and purifying sweat, leaving the body light and detoxified and the mind calm and relaxed.  Ashtanga flow deviates from the traditional sequence and mixes in fun asanas and interesting flows.  Classes are appropriate for those who seek a physical challenge in their yoga practice. Ashtanga I is based off the classical primary series, Ashtanga II focuses more on the classical second series, Short Forms is a shortened format of Primary Series.

forrest yoga
is a system of Yoga developed by Ana Forrest which is attuned to the physical and spiritual needs of modern people. Our 21st century way of life demanding long hours of driving, keyboarding and other sedentary tasks is addressed in Forrest Yoga. The shoulders and neck receive special attention along with abdominal work to strengthen and heal the lower back. Correct physical alignment promotes safety and longer posture-holding times provide an arena where students can learn to focus internally and work energetically. Over time this practice can bring aliveness to shutdown areas of the body and promote emotional healing. In Forrest Yoga we seek our personal truth and learn to live according to our own inner authority. J

The nine rasas this class explores are: shringara: love, vibhatsa: dissatisfaction, shanta: peace, vira:strength, bhayanaka: fear, hasya: joy, raudra: anger, karuna: sadness, & adbhuta: wonder.  Rasa classes incorporate yogic philosophy & discussion, chanting, pranayama, meditation, cleansing kriyas and asana flows grounded in the chakra system. Students often remark that these fun classes are complete in nature and leave the body expanded and the mind grounded.

rasa I:
This class is perfect for the practitioner looking for a gentle class.  Class opens with philosophy, discussion, pranayama/cleansing kriyas and setting of intention.  Once our minds are opened we will invite our bodies to journey into the same expansion and we will find our way into our asana flow, moving from spine and hip warming exercises, into gentle sun salutes which will blend some additional asanas that benefit our body and open our chakras.  Class will finish with a seated meditation before moving into deep relaxation and savasana.  Appropriate for all practitioners, especially those seeking a gentler practice.

The perfect blend between Rasa I & III this class is perfect for the practitioner seeking the balance between dynamic flow and stillness.  Class opens with philosophy and discussion, which often incorporates pranayama, cleansing kriyas, & meditation.  After setting our intention we will journey into our classic rasa sun salute series and weave various yoga asanas such as standing postures, twists, and seated postures into the continuous flow. If time allows class will finish with meditation. Class is taught in a multi-level format with variations being offered on most postures. J    

rasa III:
This class is geared toward the practitioner looking for a more    challenging practice. Class opens with philosophy and discussion and intention setting. Following our opening we will move into a vigorous asana flow that incorporates cleansing kriyas, advanced twists, core work, arm balances, and inversions. The class is taught in a multi level format where you are invited but never required to try more challenging postures and simpler variations are always offered.

The props used while practicing the various restorative yoga poses are designed to provide support and be conducive to total relaxation.
