Classes

Anusara Inspired™ Classes
All Levels

Anusara yoga is a powerful method of hatha yoga which integrates biomechanical principles of alignment with the celebration of the heart and spirit. This school of hatha yoga, founded by John Friend in 1997, is one of the fastest growing forms of yoga in North America.  Anusara Yoga is widely known for its therapeutic benefits to rehabilitate but it is also a full body workout. Classes are themed with a heart-based philosophy that encourages the student to work from the inside out. These classes are open to both beginners and for those who have previous yoga experience. 

Anusara Inspired
Advanced Practice

This upbeat, challenging class is designed for experienced yoga practitioners who have no serious physical limitations. Students will be encouraged to push up from the floor into Urdhva Dhanurasana (full back bend) and kick up into Adho Mukha Vrksasana (hand stand) at the wall. This class will include longer holds and more inversions and hand balancings than the All-Levels classes.

Gentle & Beginner Hatha Classes

These classes, taught by Alex, are slow paced and deeply relaxing. The postures range from simple to complex, with full permission to do less. The emphasis is on breath and body awareness. We learn to listen to our body in a new way, honour its limitations and learn from it. Even though the approach is gentle, we will stretch and strengthen, and work toward improved flexibility and balance, mental clarity and emotional state of peace.

Private Classes

These classes are recommended for students interested in developing a home practice or for those with health challenges such as back pain, sports injury, chronic fatigue or headaches.
