This class is meant for the slightly more experienced yoga practitioner. During class, we will build a sequence of asanas (postures) that are tied together with breath to help build meditative movement, build inner tapas (zeal, discipline) and build awareness, coordination and confidence in your practice. In each class, we not only develop our physical practice, but also learn to deepen our energetic and subtle practices. Modifications and adjustments will be offered.

Foundations of Yoga is a great class for everyone: whether you have some yoga experience, or are still new to the world of yoga. This class is moderately paced with multiple modifications and instructions given to ensure that you walk out of class feeling energized with a bit more knowledge of yoga each time. This class is also a great one for those who need a refresher (perhaps coming back to yoga after a break) on the basics.
