HIGH MOUNTAIN HALL

Iyengar yoga focuses on alignment and precision in the poses. B.K.S. Iyengar believes that the body is the doorway into the soul. Through absolute attention to the small actions in the body, one's mind is more easily cleared and the student becomes very present. This is a dynamic class moving through the full range of asanas; we commence with a flow of standing postures, often move through backbends/twists/forward bends, and do inversions. While the class is very active, it is also suitable for beginners willing to challenge themselves because the Iyengar method is very instructive on teaching proper alignment in all the asanas and presenting variations of poses that every body type can achieve.  

Each class begins with a meditation, our intentions are set, we then proceed to warm the body with sun salutations. We commence the flow with a creative sequencing of standing poses and move onto balance moves, gentle inversions, forward and back bends, and end with supine poses geared toward opening the body while restoring and aligning body, mind, and spirit. All classes are all levels.

This is a flowing class integrating kundalini yoga, gentle vinyasa, dance and meditation for a well rounded yogic experience; both physically activating and spiritually nourishing. Enjoy a dynamic and creative journey into the body, helping you to feel more fluid and alive in your whole being. Kundalini yoga is known as the yoga of awareness, as it cultivates connection to the soul and deepens understanding of the subtle energy anatomy system. It awakens consciousness and increases energy flow so we can feel more tuned to our truth and embodied in our wholeness. You can expect a focused theme for each class in which we’ll dive into the healing process. Kristi shares her original devotional music for relaxation.

All levels welcome.
