LOCATION:4 Ward Street, Kaitaia
DESCRIPTION: STUDENT LEVEL: Experienced Beginner to Intermediate *see definitions below

This class combines the lineages of Iyengar, Ashtanga and Yin along with breath work. You can expect longer holds in poses (isometric), flow/movement (vinyasa) mixed with deep release poses to reach connective tissue (yin). This could be a moderate to complex sequence dependent on the student, with options offered to those ready to practice more advanced versions of the poses.  Let your body decide!

For the experienced beginner - this is an opportunity to develop confidence in your practice, by participating in a more challenging class and feel inspired to learn and explore. For the intermediate student - this is an opportunity to brush up on basics and pull together the components of practice, to get a solid, traditional practice in.

DEFINITIONS:

Experienced Beginner:
You understand connection between movement and breath, knowing when to take rest and incorporating props without guidance. You practice yoga with a teacher regularly, and  have an understanding of the basic principles of alignment and foundation, including the sthira-sukham principle. 

Intermediate: 
You can maintain all beginner level classes without straining in the breath at all or need to rest, and embody understanding of the alignment principles, energetic actions and modifications for the asanas, respecting your body’s limitations, knowing when to explore more advanced possibilities. You work within the sthira-sukham principle, and are able to hold asana longer, strengthening the body while stimulating the deeper process of self-reflection that makes the asana practice a more meditative one.
