Class Descriptions

Advanced
This advanced asana practice gives students an opportunity to reach beyond level 2 classes. Students will explore a deeper asana experience and work towards more demanding postures. Previous level 2 yoga experience and solid understanding of asana is a must!

Afternoon Mysore
A class in which students can work on Primary and/or Intermediate Series at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere.

Poses will not be given out unless requested or instruction is needed. Students should follow the Ashtanga sequence but there is flexibility with modification and a few extra stretches where appropriate. It is a good chance for students to spend extra time on whatever pose they are working on and ask questions, with one-on-one guidance and advice from the teacher.

This class is open to all levels. Students will learn to modify the practice to fit their individual needs – very ideal for new students, those dealing with injuries and who have any special requirements. It is also good for students who have been stopped in Primary and would like to move on, as they will be encouraged to use their own judgment.

Ahimsa, one of the five tenets of Jivamukti, encourages all to avoid harm and violence; it ultimately manifests the sacred notion of oneness in all beings.
