“The yoga mat is a good place to turn when talk therapy and antidepressants aren't enough” Author, Amy Weintraub

Course Information

Styles of Hatha (or physical) Yoga come in many variations with the same basic 'seed-postures' as a common link. Differences arise from variations on breath, sequence, motion, alignment and overall form. Phoenix Yoga Studio classes offer several different types of Hatha Yoga with the overall emphasis of integrating a serene mind, harmonious spirit and powerfully healthy body.

Class Levels

The intensity level of your class is designated by the following:
*gentle movement
**active movement
***strength building
****vigorous workout

Basics/Mixed Ability */**
Recommended for students of all ages and fitness levels. This comprehensive course is designed to introduce participants to the basic principles and practices of yoga. This provides the beginner with a solid foundation for a safe and suitable yoga practice. Throughout the course participants will learn key yoga poses, basic yoga breath awareness, gentle meditative techniques and a background to yoga practice and philosophy.

Improvers ***
Classes are for those with some previous experience who are interested in taking their practice further.  This course offers an opportunity to grow your yoga practice, building on the principles of alignment, breath and stability.

Flow ***/****
This fun, flowing class set to music combines postures and sequences to give your body the breathwork and movement it needs. With a dynamic flowing sequence of postures linking breath and movement, cultivate awareness while building core strength and flexibility.  There is quite possibly no better overall workout than a really strong flow class.  The warm room will help eliminate toxins and increase mobility.  Some yoga expereince recommended.

Lunch Hour Yoga **

Tips for Yoga Beginners

Here are three suggestions for yogis of all levels:

Show up! Whether it's your own practice or a formal class, showing up is 90% of the effort.

Stay present. Remind yourself to be fully present mentally and emotionally as well as physically.

Listen to your inner voice. Remember that you have nothing to prove to anyone. Do what feels right for you and ask for extra guidance when needed.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic system, which is often identified with the fight-or-flight response, and the parasympathetic, which is identified with what's been called the relaxation response.  When you do yoga - the deep breathing, the stretching, the movements that release muscle tension, the relaxed focus on being present in your body - you initiate a process that turns the fight-or-flight system off and the relaxation response on.  That has a dramatic effect on the body.  The heartbeat slows, respiration decreases, blood pressure decreases.  The body seizes this chance to turn on the healing mechanisms” Author, Richard Faulds
