Shoshi Yoga
Viniyoga arose from the practice of Sri. T. Krishnamacharya, who developed practices for individual conditions and purposes. Sri. T. Krishnamacharya is the teacher of well-known contemporary masters B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois and Indra Devi. His own son, T.K.V. Desikachar, continued with his principles and developed Viniyoga. Viniyoga makes use of modified yoga poses that can be designed to meet the specific needs of an individual and to enhance healing, flexibility and strength of joints. Practices may include pranayama, meditation, reflection, study and other classic elements, but the emphasis of Viniyoga is on coordinating breath and movement. |

Yoga for Stiff Bodies (Begins 10/12)
If you've been recommended to yoga by a doctor or physical therapist, or always assumed yoga was just for the strangely prezel-like, this is a class for you! The key to healthy muscles is a balance between strength and length; when a muscle is too tight or too weak, injury can follow. In this class we will focus on the specific needs of the students to help stretch and strengthen our bodies for greater health and comfort. All poses can be modified to fit your body: no pain = gain! |
