Yoga: INTRODUCTORY

This experience is a great introduction to yoga for anyone who has never tried it, or has very little experience with yoga. You will learn:

an overview of what yoga is and isn’t
an explanation of common yoga terms
the typical progression of a yoga practice and essential safety considerations

You will be guided through several basic yoga poses of different types (e.g., seated, standing, reclined, etc.) AND you’ll cap it off by gently moving into experiencing the powerful but accessible Warrior I pose (shown above).

NOTE: This Introductory level class is a blend (about half and half) of learning general yoga terms, concepts, & prop use, and of practical yoga practice. If you prefer a class which is mainly practice, choose the Beginner level.

Preparation

Wear lose or elastic clothing that permits free movement plus a warmer layer (e.g., sweater, hoodie, etc.) for portions of the class when you are less mobile. Bring an exercise or yoga mat if you have one of your own (can be provided on request) and a blanket.
