Yoga Class Descriptions & Prices
Afternoon Flow Yoga: A class where you will flow from one asana to another, and link movements to the breath. Students will be encouraged to find their own connection to the postures and to the mind/body connection that is the essence of all yoga. The afternoon time slot makes it ideal for school teachers, or those with limited time! Each class will be new and interesting and dedicated to the individual abilities of all students.
Anusara Style Yoga: Literally translated as: "flowing with Grace," "following your heart," or "being in the flow," embodies an "uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," that looks for the good in all people and all things. Consequently, students of all levels of ability and yoga experience are honored for their unique differences, limitations, and talents." (www.anusara.com) During the philosophy section of the class, we will be exploring and discussing different concepts related to yoga and conscious living. Various aspects of Anusara yoga will be interwoven into the discussion. No prior knowledge of yoga philosophy is necessary for attending this discussion.
Beginner Yoga: Class for new students or those who need a refresher course in basic yoga postures, breathing techniques, and postural alignment principals. Attention to alignment assists students to experience ease in the poses as well as enhances the flow of the breath. No previous yoga experience is necessary!
Bhakti Flow: Bhakti is the yoga of devotion. This class incorporates pranayama, asana, music, and meditation as a practice to open the heart and enable students to be of better service to themselves and others when they step off of the mat. The class will be vigorous and challenging at times, but lighthearted and fun! Some yoga experience is recommended.
Chi Yoga:A gentle but powerful flowing practice designed to calm the mind, relieve stress/anxiety, and promote relaxation. This class blends the practices of hatha yoga with the principles of tai chi, coordinating slow, purposeful movements from the body's core with the breath to create a moving meditation. Appropriate for all levels.
Community Yoga: Join us for this open-level yoga class taught by a different Yogadurango instructor each week. This class is by donation only (no punch cards or credit cards). Suggested donation $8. A portion of the proceeds go to a different charity each month.
Experience your Core:This class emphasizes engaging and strengthening the body's core muscles and incorporating these actions into each asana. Students will learn to engage the energy locks, or "bandas", which support the spine and direct the flow of prana within the body. These powerful techniques will increase stability and balance and provide the support and freedom to explore more advanced asanas. Strong, toned muscles at the core of the body will also help relieve lower back pain, increase posture, and maintain health in the internal organs. Appropriate for all levels.
Hatha Yoga: This class breaks down instruction to encourage proper alignment and steadiness in asanas and uses the breath as the fundamental key to body/mind integration. A Hatha yoga class provides students with a well-rounded practice and instructs practitioners to modify, vary or progress in poses accordingly.
Hot Vinyasa: A derivative of Ashtanga Yoga, this vigorous class is taught in a heated room of approximately 103 degrees and 30% humidity. Hot Vinyasa differs from a Bikram-style practice. The objective is to flow from one pose to the next while working with the breath and the alignment principles of various asanas. The body begins the detoxification process and muscles become more flexible. Hot Vinyasa is recommended for experienced practitioners only.
Kundalini Yoga: A dynamic blend of postures, pranayam (breath), mantra (word), music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. No previous experience in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your very first class. Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, your glandular and nervous systems are stimulated, and your capacity for creative potential is heightened. You gain inner vitality to compensate for the adverse effects of stress so you can excel in life.
Liquid Flow: Awaken your practice and go with the flow. This class is well-rounded, following the mandala of the body and asanas to create a whole body transformation of strength, fluidity, and centering.Liquid Flow will help intermediate to advanced yogis to connect fully to their experience which will be challenging, rejuvinating, and meditative. The creative sequences will allow you to connect breath, mind, and body as your practice flows like a wave. This class is heated.
Morning Flow Yoga: A gentle vinyasa flow class. You will leave the class feeling relaxed yet energized, and with a well-grounded center, clarity and stillness of mind. A great way to start the day! Appropriate for all levels.
Power Fusion Yoga: Marries Bikram Yoga's sequence of 26 static poses with the flow and grace of Vinyasa Yoga. Althougth the framework of this class is a set sequence that enables the entire body to become strong and supple, each week the focus may shift to include pranayama, philosophy, meditation or more detailed alignment instruction. Taught in a 95 degree room and set to lively music, this class is designed to be challenging, energizing, meditative and fun! Appropriate for all levels - come as you are!
Slow Yoga: Slow yoga is a rejuvenating and restoring practice. Class begins with a gentle warm up of the joints and major muscle groups and ends with several restorative poses and a generous savasana. There is an emphasis on breath work combined with meditative, fluid movement. We will also practice transitioning slowly and gracefully from one pose into the next. The class also explores holding poses for longer durations to experience subtle shifts, movements and unfoldings. This class is beneficial for any level of practitioner.
Sunrise Flow Yoga: A gentle vinyasa flow class practiced in a heated (but not too hot!) room. You will leave the class feeling relaxed yet energized, and able to start the day with a well-grounded center, clarity and stillness of mind. A great way to start the day! Appropriate for all levels.
Tibetan Bowl Meditation: Start your day with the right vibration. Join us for morning meditation accompanied by the serene sounds of the Tibetan Bowls, chimes and Tingshas.
Vinyasa Yoga: Incorporates a flowing sequence of asanas coordinated with the breath. The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement”, or "to place in a special way." In other words, the teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale with some longer holds along the way. Some experience is recommended.
Wake Up Yoga: We will begin this class in relaxation with some restorative poses then gently build to a standing flow and finally greet the day by saluting the sun. This practice will leave you feeling awake and enlivened for your day.
Yin Yoga: Yin yoga, also called “Taoist yoga,” is a meditative stretching practice of holding floor poses for 3 to 5 minutes at a time. Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, especially around the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. It is the ideal compliment to more muscular “yang” forms of yoga, and other types of exercise such as biking, skiing and running. This meditative class is suitable for all levels and is a sweet break from your busy life.
Yin/Yang Yoga: This class combines the receptive, quieter practice of Yin Yoga with the more active, rhythmic movement of a Yang flow. Within this blend we will mobilize all areas of the body, from the deep connective tissue which stabalizes our joints to the more surface level muscles and facia. We will also learn to steady our minds through Pranayama (breathing) and mindfulness meditation.
Yoga Hour: A dynamic flow yoga class focusing on strength, balance and movement. Experience and allow your body to move with the breath. Some experience is recommended.
Yoga Basic Workshop: FREE workshop designed for beginners to teach the basics of yoga in a special, non-intimidating environment. We will learn the fundamentals of alignment and breathing, as well as the practice of basic stretches, balancing poses, strengthening exercises, and relaxation techniques. No previous yoga experience is necessary!
Yoga for Grief: This class provides techniques to promote the transformation of grief and loss into material for our nurturance. We’ll do this by using the breath and movement to address the delicate endocrine mechanisms in the body responsible for the grief reaction. We’ll also learn techniques to: unblock parts of the body while allowing feelings and emotions to find a way to surface and discharge; help promote a psychological sensation of greater control over life; allow a general feeling of “being alive” surface; and help regulate biorhythms, like the sleep/wake cycle. Because depression often accompanies grief, this class will also offer tools to help deal with depression. Just making the commitment to come to class shows an effort towards healing! The supportive energy of the group along with individualized attention allows your process to proceed in the most natural way for you. All levels of ability are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Yoga Nidra: Formerly titled Sattva Bliss, this class is mostly inner Yoga. Each session begins with you doing ten minutes of gentle stretching at your own pace while Derek plays one or two Sanskrit chants on the harmonium from India. Then you'll move into Savasana pose (lying on your back) on three layers of blankets and bolsters for at least a half hour. During this time, you'll be guided into a deep relaxation that seamlessly transitions into a Yogic meditation, Nidra style. To help you relax and get grounded, Derek holds each person's feet for a few minutes as he guides the group into deeper and deeper states of awareness. You'll also practice at least three easy Mantras (two English, one Sanskrit) during these sessions. This may be the easiest, yet, most advanced Nidra practice you'll find anywhere. Be prepared to be surprised at how healing and inspiring these sessions are. Truly balm for the body, mind and soul!
