*Basics and Beginners:This class focuses on the basic principals of Forrest Yoga including breath, alignment, strength and flexibility. Poses are taught in detail and modifications are given for injuries. This class will prepare you for all Open Level classes at the studio. No experience is required. This class is open to all. Experienced students can up level this class on their own. Class will however cater to basics and beginner technique.
* Align and Refine: This class focuses on one area of the body. The aim of the class is to spend extra time helping the regular students work out the chronic kinks in their practice. We work unevenly, working the tighter side of the body longer to bring balance and diminish pain. All levels of poses will be taught with emphasis on technique. Room is heated to 80 degrees. Runners and Bikers-Give up being a pain junkie and get your butt to this class!
*Yin Yoga: A restorative practice that focuses on gently stretching connective tissue by holding a yin pose. The body responds by making the tissue longer and stronger. Although connective tissue is found in every bone, muscle, and organ, it’s most concentrated at the joints. If you don’t use your full range of joint flexibility, the connective tissue will slowly shorten to the minimum length needed to accommodate your activities. If you try to flex your knees or arch your back after years of under use, you’ll discover that your joints have been “shrink-wrapped” by shortened connective tissue. This is a great compliment to your more active practice which focuses on stretching the muscle.
* Asanapy®: Asanapy was co-created by Megan Leigh and Dr. Cheryl Cornelius. It is an 8-week course combining yoga, writing and hands on healing. When Dr. Cornelius co- teaches, we also incorporate dialogue work. The goal of Asanapy is to help yogis investigate some of what comes up as the result of a regular practice. It aims to help students go deeper into the process of healing and to connect with other students on the path. Email us for more information.
