Class Descriptions

This class is for those completely new to yoga. It is an informative class where basic postural alignment is stressed. It is also appropriate for those students coming from different yoga traditions who need to refine their postures.

This class is appropriate for students who have either attended a beginner classes for at least 6 months or have gotten approval by Christine or for any student with previous yoga experience of more than 1 year. All levels will be challenged and attended to.

Restorative yoga is a gentle, deeply restful class where by using props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, belts, chairs and the yoga ropes, students are able to hold poses for long periods of time. This extended time in postures helps to bring all the physiological and psychological benefits that the poses create without effort. It is a wonderful way to unplug, de-stress and recharge! This class is also the perfect choice for those students who are recovering from an injury or illness. Supporting standing, seated, back bending , twisting and inverted poses are all explored. Basic Pranayama (breath awareness) techniques are presented as well.

Experience yoga postures in a new way, using the ropes to help educate the body and encourage correct alignment. In these special classes we explore the various ways that working with ropes can aid and enhance your yoga postures. You can experience a wonderful release in the spine and joints as many rope postures create traction. Rope workshops are limited to a class size of 10, therefore, prepaid-registration is required.
