Class Descriptions

Self-Practice (Mysore-style)
This class is geared toward developing a personal practice using the traditional method of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga where each student moves independently through the practice at his or her own pace and level, guided by a teacher. All levels are welcome, you do not need to have any experience to attend. Arrive anytime after 9:00 am and finish by 11:00 am. Taught by Jennifer Wright.

Introduction to Ashtanga Primary Series
This class introduces the fundamentals of Ashtanga yoga, a scientific system linking postures with the breath. Ashtanga yoga builds strength, flexibility and concentration while purifying the body and calming the mind. Beginning with Sun Salutations and including standing, seated and finishing postures, the primary series always follows the same sequence of poses, providing a strong foundation for a home practice. No prior experience necessary. Taught by Jennifer Wright.
