Kripalu
"Yoga Basics" Series
An eight week course that will guide you step by step in how to take care of your body safely while you practice each posture with in-depth instruction. A interactive class with time for demonstrations, questions and explanations as well as learning about props, supports and limitations that you may have so you may bring yourself to a deeper knowledge in your beginning journey in yoga.
Strongly recommended for new practitioners and also for those who have never had the advantage of learning postures one by one in depth.
Note:This class series repeats every eight weeks so if you miss a class you can make it up in the next eight week series.
Also joining after the third week is not recommended. It's better to wait until the next series begins.

YIN
Yin Yoga is a passive practice of releasing the body into posture and holding from 1 to 3 or more minutes. This gently and gradually stretches the deep connective tissues of the body opening deep, dense, rarely touched areas. Yin targets the central nervous system and also massages the organs.
Often referred to as needleless acupuncture, it activates the meridians in the body promoting deep healing and relaxation. Yin is therapeutic in nature. A wonderful way to practice natural healing of the body and calming the mind.
