About Our Classes

Yoga Asana: Basics – Therapeutic – Beginners

Introduction to the principles of alignment, balance, breath, and relaxation. For students of all levels including those with special considerations, pregnancy, injury, or illness.

 

Makaya brings in her years of experience as a chiropractic physician and yoga instructor when choosing a sequence of yoga postures that will be most beneficial to the students attending the class. Each sequence begins in a resting pose and unfolds from there. One has the choice of remaining in resting poses or participating in more active postures and movements, enhanced by supportive props. Adaptations are given for students with special considerations. The postures tend to be more stimulating and energizing in nature or more soothing and relaxing. Postures may enhance strength and stability or be more oriented toward stretching and mobilizing. Postures are done with awareness of breath, balance and alignment.

Yoga-Asana: Ongoing Beginners – Intermediate

In these classes students have a basic understanding and ability to do the postures and continue to strengthen and refine their yoga practice. The postures may be basic, relaxing and restorative or more challenging and energetic. Props and supports are used to maintain balance and comfort in each pose. Teachers also make use of verbal instruction, manual adjusting and demonstrations.

 

Intermediate is for students who have prior experience and a general sense of how to get into, be in, and come out of yoga postures. The postures and pace range from more basic, relaxing and restorative flows to more challenging, energetic and dynamic. Teachers also make use of verbal instruction, manual adjusting and demonstrations. Props available.

Yoga for people with hip, knee and ankle replacements or general mobility issues

The intention of this class is to optimize health and wellness, improve function, flexibility, and strength while practicing the art of breathing from the diaphragm and belly. The class is done lying on the floor, sitting in chairs, and standing against walls. Each sequence begins in more restful postures and progresses from there. Students have the option to stay in more restful postures or move forward challenging themselves as desired. In this class the student has the chance to explore movement, feel the area in their body that need more mobility and that need more strength. Students must be able to get up from the floor one time during the class (assistance available) and be able to hear and follow instructions. All props and mats supplied.
