February Schedule!

Well, here it is! We know that everyone is anxious to return to their yoga practice after being away, and maybe get started on some of those New Year's Resolutions?? After several requests for a beginner Ashtanga class (see description below!), a morning Ashtanga class as well as an "After school" time slot, we have added them into the schedule. Thank you for your feedback!

February

Sunday
9:30-10:45am Power Yoga
5:00-6:00pm Hatha Yoga
6:30-8:00pm Ashtanga (Full Primary) intermediate/advanced

Monday
5:00-6:00pm Ashtanga Basics*
6:30-7:45pm Vinyasa Flow

Tuesday
9:30-10:45am Power Yoga
5:00-6:00pm Hatha Yoga
6:30-8:00pm Ashtanga (Full Primary) intermediate/advanced

Wednesday
5:00-6:00pm Ashtanga Basics*
6:30-7:45pm Power Yoga

Thursday
9:30-11:00am Ashtanga (Full Primary or Mysore)intermediate/advanced

Saturday
10:00am Beginner Class (this class will be an hour long,
either Hatha Yoga or Power Yoga)

*Ashtanga Basics is our newest class at the Breathing Room. It will remain true to the integrity of the Ashtanga practice but will teach the basics at a slower pace. We will go through the Sun Salutes, Standing Postures, and then some Seated Postures. This class will enable the practitioner to eventually move on to the Full Primary class. And while it is designed for beginners, a more experienced yogi would feel right at home in this class.

January Ashtanga Classes

5-6:30 PM
Wednesday January 21st
And Wednesday January 28th

Once Jenna is back we will return to our full schedule but this is something that can get us moving in the new year. Thanks to Jaime for volunteering to lead the classes!

Update from Jenna in Vermont

Hello my fellow yogis! I am writing to you from beautiful Bristol, Vermont in the Green Mountains (although they are more white this time of year!) I am here studying ashtanga with Christine Hoar at Bristol Yoga. Christine is one of the few people in the world to have been given the blessing of Pattabhi Jois to teach ashtanga yoga. Christine is a "teacher's teacher" she was just saying tonight how much she enjoys teaching other teachers. So that's why I'm here! Apart from the lovely inn that is my home this week, and all the other charms that Vermont has to offer, I am learning lots of new assists and I am working directly with Christine on developing a beginner ashtanga class since it seems that is a big request at The Breathing Room. I am hoping to offer an "Ashtanga Basics" class when I get back. It will be an introduction to sun salutes, standing postures, and then a selection of seated postures. Christine taught a class like that this evening and I think it would serve our yoga community very well. I can't pretend to be completely selfless though, I am also here to deepen my own practice, which I think will make me a better teacher as well. Looking forward to sharing what I am learning!
Yoga Joy!
Jenna

Extra Beginners Class Offered!

Happy New Year! We are now re-opening the doors to The Breathing Room. The Power Yoga starts the day at 9:30am and then at 3:00pm we will begin our first class in the Yoga for Beginners Workshop. There have been a number of requests for an evening beginners class - so for those of you who have shown interest, we are offering a beginners class on Sunday and Tuesday at 6:30 in place of the Ashtanga class that is listed. We will be offering these two classes at the member's rate of 50LE per class.

We have noted the overall interest in a beginning yoga class and will keep that in mind when arranging the schedule in the upcoming week. Please feel comfortable to send us any requests for times or classes; we will always do our best to accommodate the needs of our yoga community.

Congratulations on getting your new year off to a great start.
