Yoga Schedule

Hatha Yoga
A class which incorporates yoga breathing (pranayama), postures (asanas), sequences, mindfulness and relaxation. Modifications are given allowing students to work at their own level. The emphasis is on building strength and flexibility while staying grounded and focused. If you have injuries I recommend restorative yoga. If you are starting out I suggest coming to a beginners class first.

Restorative Yoga
A passive, introspective and breath orientated practice. The body is supported on bolsters and blankets and still for longer periods of time than in an active class.
The purpose of this type of practice is to shift the nervous system out of ‘fight or flight’ into a deeply felt relaxation response. I also like to include some somatic movement sequences as a way to release holding patterns before we come to rest.

Prenatal Yoga
I'm an experienced prenatal yoga teacher. I don't currently teach a prenatal specific class but if you are interested in my other classes I am happy to help you with modifications that you may need. Feel free to contact me in advance if you are unsure where to begin or would like advice on prenatal classes in Vancouver.

Yin Yoga & Meditation
This class is challenging, in that the pace is slow. A certain degree of body awareness is desirable. The practice is done sitting and lying supine/prone and we will use props to support the body while holding poses for up to 2/3 minutes at a time. This class includes breathing practices (pranayama), meditation, release work similar to somatic movements and lots of quiet contemplation.

Not recommended if you have hypermobile joints, have osteoarthritis. If you are pregnant you should practice with caution.
