PURE YOGA: LEVEL 1 Iyengar Style Yoga
Level 1 Yoga is safe for all ages and conditions of students.
Following the Iyengar yoga method, which was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune, India to emphasize clarity in body alignment, use of breathing practices, and therapeutics in yoga posture these classes foster a dynamic awareness of body, mind, and spirit for growth on and off the yoga mat.
LEVEL 1 is a slower asana practice that combines floor poses on the mat designed to release deep connective tissue with some more challenging poses to strengthen core musculature. LEVEL 1 is considered a gentle, basic yoga class, although it may include some standing poses, downward dog, and some modified sun salutations.
For students who are just beginning, or early on in their practice. Also good for Injury Recovery and Seniors - A gentle approach for those with special needs.

PURE YOGA: LEVEL 2 is a flowing vinyasa practice which may include some longer held standing poses, arm balances, inversions and backbends.LEVEL 2 is an evolving practice of Yoga that uses the Vinyasa, or sun salute, to link poses and "counter poses" to help open the body and create a flow of movement and energy in the body. The cultivation of steadiness (strength) and inner poise (flexibility) reflects this hatha yoga philosophy. Level 2 Yoga Flow classes can be both athletic and meditative.Continuing/Deeper - For the ongoing practice that continues to develop.

PURE YOGA: LEVELS 1 + 2: offers a combination of Iyengar style mat work with slow, calm vinyasa flows, as practice for all levels of yoga experience.
