Designed for beginners, yet steeped in the
fundamental technique that can sharpen the
practice of even an experienced yogi, Level One
will both soothe and strengthen. We’ll work on
joint mobility, range of movement, basic
standing and sitting postures, while emphasizing
structural alignment and the freedom of breath.
The physical and geometric approach of this
class consists of outer alignment in accordance
with accepted anatomical concepts of how the
body wants to carry itself. For every individual
allowances are made to accommodate any
differences between the left and the right
sides, as well as any pain resulting from
stiffness, weakness and injury.
Fundamental ideas such as femoral and humeral
grounding are covered, as well as the basis for
liberated breathing. Level One classes are
completely suitable for more advanced
practitioners. Far from being “easy”, they
will allow you to apply yourself more deeply to
fundamental postural technique If
you have injuries or medical issues, please see
our note on
Physical Challenges. Also, read our
Special Note for Women
