Introduction to Yoga

This step-by-step introduction is a great way to walk into the waters of yoga before jumping into Basic classes. You'll build strength and flexibility, open your shoulders and hips, and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions! Highly recommended for beginners.

Basic

In a Basic class, you'll learn to perform fundamental poses with steadiness and joy. You'll become familiar with the philosophical concepts that shape the practice of Anusara Yoga, and experience the foundations of biomechanical alignment, making it safe and exhilarating to explore more challenging poses.

Intermediate

Intermediate classes further expand body awareness and stamina; they are for students who are ready for more intensity. You'll learn to hold more complex poses for longer periods of time with greater enjoyment, and we'll cultivate greater understanding of the philosophy that illuminates the poses.

Anusara Flow

This Intermediate-level class entwines vinyasa-style flow (movement from pose to pose coordinated with breath) with Anusara alignment. A great option for those who want to move more quickly but maintain form.

Advanced/Advanced Practice

In an Advanced class, you can expect to regularly kick up to handstand (adho mukha vrksasana) and perform full backbends (urdhva danurasana) with straight arms. Anusara philosophy is explored more deeply, and you'll explore the subtleties of the Universal Principles of Alignment. We intend for this class to deepen your practice, your understanding, and your experience of what it is to be alive.
