It builds on the hatha yoga class, developing the standing posture sequence, back arches, forward bends, and inverted postures.  This class guides the student towards cardiovascular health, some gentle strength training, deepening flexibility, developing more balance and endurance, along with the yoga breathing, relaxation and mental awareness.  Each student at Lotus is guided to the most appropriate level of practice, where he or she will receive the most beneficial effect for body & mind.

  • Once a person has developed a good understanding of the yoga basics, the next step is learning to fine tune your practice.  The student will learn how to mindfully and harmoniously move into the yoga position, and then engage certain muscle actions to properly align the bones and joints (skeletal system).  We also discuss aligning the visceral body and pranic body, creating good lines of energy.  This class will be different from other classes, as there will not be a flow (vinyasa).  We will do yoga warm ups, and than break down, in detail, each yoga position and slowly practice one posture at a time.  After each pose, we will have a discussion, question and answer period.  Finally, there will be a guided deep relaxation at the end of the session.  This class is open to all yoga teachers of different styles and traditions.

Yin Yoga

Zoom Yoga

Private & Semi-Private Yoga Instruction

  • The ancient practice of Yin Yoga provides the perfect balance to your active (yang) flow practice and your active life. An inwardly drawn practice that focuses on long-held floor poses combined with breath work and meditation, yin yoga goes beneath the superficial muscles to target the joints and dense connective tissues of the body-often in the hips, pelvis, and lower back- which are difficult to open and can result in both limited flexibility and range of motion as well as stagnant energy. Good for all levels of yoga.
