Class Descriptions

Basics:  Basics with Julie delivers the fundamentals that allow you to begin and sustain a regular practice.  You need not be already experienced, athletic, flexible, or even entirely injury free.  You’ll learn forms of poses, breathing technique, simple transitions, strengthening skills, use of props for support, and the basic pace of a yoga class.  Good for anyone returning to practice after time away, brand new beginners, or anyone seeking a focused pace.

Open Align:  Class blends alignment technique into a progressive and dynamic sequence, with optional variations for accessibility, as well as greater challenge.  A fusion of flow and form-based practices, Open Align classes are truly open to all.  Some demonstrations, use of props, and occasional partner work.

Open Flow:  For a more experienced student, this class blends dynamic flowing sequences and technique into an upbeat rhythm.  Open Flow students are understood to be proficient at maintaining steady breath during sequences that include more challenging poses with refined technique.  These classes will include arm balances, deeper back bends, and inversions. Not recommended for beginners to yoga.

Advanced Practice:  Designed for teachers, teacher trainees / graduates, and seasoned students to deepen your practice on a regular basis in a community of like-minded committed practitioners. This Zoom class offers exploration, nuanced instruction, refinement, and insights, as we practice the familiar poses in a deeper way and venture toward poses seldom practiced in public class.  Advanced Practice can sharpen your studentship as it improves your skills and will include inversions, arm balances, deep backbends, as well as pranayama, yoga philosophy, and meditation.  Not recommended for people with current injuries. All teachers, trainees, grads, and seasoned students interested in TT are welcome, regardless of school, studio, method or style. Come prepared to play deeply!
