• Ashtanga Mysore - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday mornings from 6:30-9:00AM
  (last arrival 8:00AM) & Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00PM (last arrival 6:00PM)
  This class is a place to grow with the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Students of all levels, whether a beginner or an experienced Ashtanga Yoga practitioner, can work at their own pace where they can benefit from the solitude of their own practice and the energy of practicing within a group while being individually instructed and assisted. This class is based on the traditional "Mysore" teaching styles taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga Yoga.
   
• Gentle Yoga - Mondays at 5PM
  The Gentle Flow Yoga classes will help students overcome injuries, will help pregnant women prepare their body and mind for labor and delivery, will ease postnatal students back to their regular practice and is perfect for those new to yoga. We will focus on body and breath awareness, as well as building strength, flexibility and balance. In this class students will practice sun salutations, standing postures, supported and non-supported balance postures, and seated postures. We will also introduce/practice meditation and relaxation techniques. Posture modifications will be offered to suit your level, your injury and for each trimester of pregnancy.
  **For pregnant students: Although most health care professional will enthusiastically give the go ahead for beginning or continuing yoga during your pregnancy, we request that you speak with your health care professional prior to attending classes. Also, it is required that you talk to the teacher leading that particular class prior to attending class so they can evaluate where you are at in your current practice and/or discuss your pre-pregnancy fitness level. If you have high blood pressure and/or complications during your pregnancy, it may be suggested that you take a break from your practice or continue your practice with one-on-one private sessions.
   
• Private Instruction
  We are available for private instructions for individuals or groups. We will meet with students who are interested in private instruction to co-design a plan based on what you would like to focus on.
   
• Ongoing Classes
  At Living Yoga we want to extend many opportunities for students to be able to fit our class times into their schedule as well as offer students the opportunity to begin where they are on any particular day at any Living Yoga class. Therefore, most of our classes are for suitable for students of all levels and students can attend any class without prior experience. At any given class there may be a student who is experiencing their first yoga class, a student who is returning after years away from the practice, and a student who practices 3 times per week. The individuality of all students contributes to the collective energy of each class, making each experience unique and special.
