Ashtanga & Power Yoga
|
| |
We teach Ashtanga Yoga in the traditional style. Sometimes called Power Yoga, these classes are hot and flowing, a challenging practice for those looking for a more athletic pace. The practice combines breath and movement in a specific sequence to create an intense internal heat and purifying sweat, and the result of the practice is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
While not an "advanced" practice, it is a more physical yoga style, and generates a lot of sweat! Heartsong Yoga specializes in introducing new students to the practice, even those who have never done yoga before! (The practice is taught in a heated room.)
Level one for newer students and those wanting a modified practice.
Level one/two for continuing students or brave beginners.
Open Practice for those who know the practice and are ready to do it without verbal guidance,staff/teacher assistance & support offered.
(Hot) Power Flow Yoga is another hot and graceful class based on "vinyasa" or continuous flow yoga practices and inspired by the sun salutations of Ashtanga Yoga and the teachings of Seane Corn. (The room is heated)
(Hot) Power Core Strength Yoga is a stronger style that is an eclectic blend and influenced by the Kripalu tradition. The class has a focus on core strength and stability. (The room is heated.) Although not an Ashtanga class, if you like to work hard in yoga this is another great choice on the schedule.
Heartsong is proud to be an Affiliated School of the "Hard and the Soft Yoga Institute" and the teachings of Beryl Bender Birch. This style of yoga can be traced through the Krishnamacharya and Sri K. Pattabhi Jois lineage. It is the choice for those who are looking for a hot practice influenced by classical yoga philosophy, attention to breath, deep relaxation and meditation. Seane Corn has been an inspiration to the studio in developing the Power Flow classes.

While not a prerequisite, new students should try to attend a 6 week course to become familiar with Ashtanga Yoga. The drop in Ashtanga I classes always welcome new students. On going students and new students who are fit and flexible choose the Level I/II classes. Sometimes we bring in "second series" postures in the I/II classes, with plenty of options and modifications for all to enjoy.
