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.
