YogaSofia

All classes are designed to be a workout, but we encourage you to slow down when you need to, and rest as long as you like between poses. Every body is different; every day is different. Please respect your body and the yoga principle of ahimsa. (i.e. do not be “violent” to your body!). Take a look at the different levels of classes below to decide what will fit your abilities the best. We look forward to seeing you!

Class Levels

Yoga 1
For beginners. You will build the strength and flexibility needed to progress to other levels. Pranayama (deep breathing) taught. Vinyasa flow broken down into components. Warrior I, warrior II, triange pose, intro to balancing poses, bridge (half) backbends, hip-openers, gentle twists, seated stretching. No inversions, i.e. upside-down balancing poses. We welcome those brand new to yoga or physical fitness!

Yoga 1/2
Poses listed above, but a stronger overall practice. Less break-down of vinyasa flow. Longer holds on heat-building poses. Warrior III, standing twists, standing and seated balances, deeper hip openers, additional backbend versions, introduction to inversions. (Difficulty similar to former Yogafit level 2.)

Yoga 2
Very strong practice; not for the beginner. Vinyasa flow without detailed explanation. Balanced flow between holds and balances. Side plank, handstands/headstands with instruction, arm balances, deeper twists, full backbends. (Difficulty similar to former Yogafit level 3, or Power.)

Yoga 2/3
For the advanced practitioner only. Flexibility and strength assumed. Advanced arm balances, inversions, twists, and backbends. Please attend only if you practice regularly.

Class Etiquette

• *   Bring a towel for sweat, especially for Levels 2 and above. We have emergency mats at no charge, but for hygenic reasons, it is always best to bring your own. (We also sell mats at the studio.)
• *   Wear comfortable clothing you can sweat in. Light layers work well.
• *   Try not to eat an hour before class. For protein/fat-centered meals, 2-3 hours before class. Fruit or fruit juice is best if you get hungry in the hour before class.
• *   Please leave your cell phone in your vehicle, if possible. Otherwise, please turn off and leave outside studio doors.
• *   Please do not wear perfume or heavy deoderants to class.
• *   Studio doors will remain open for 15 minutes after class start time. You may join the class within this timeframe; however, please warm up gently and do not try to do what others are doing right away. We recommend sitting and deep breathing for a few minutes to slow down and cleanse the adrenalin accumulated while sitting in traffic! Your whole class will be different. Trust us.
