Do Yoga Like a Retiree
Instructor: Jinjer
Whether you are retired or not, maybe mid-afternoon on Thursdays just works better for you. This class is fun as well as mindful and beneficial.
Wear clothes that are easy to move in and if you have a mat, please bring it. We use our muscles in ways that release tension: both through stretches and in poses that build strength.
I take each person's physical challenges into consideration and modify poses when necessary. We are all strong in some areas, weak in others; flexible in certain joints and stiff in others. We tend to judge ourselves by our weaknesses but yoga gives us an opportunity to celebrate our strength and flexibility. It also provides us with a chance to gently and lovingly strengthen our bodies (minds and spirits) where they are weak and encourage them to flexibility where they are tight.
The last few minutes of class are devoted to meditation, so our bodies can fully integrate the benefits of the class just past. I look forward to meeting you.
Class meets in-person on Thursdays from 2pm-3:30pm
Monthly cost (paid in advance) $80 per five-week moth. $60 for four-week month. Drop-ins $20

Healthy Happy Hour Yoga
Instructor: Anna
This gentle to moderate intensity yoga class will help you to "reset," using asanas and breath to clear the mind's "slate" and refocus attention and energy to prepare you to move into your evening with peace and presence. Some yoga philosophy will be woven into these sessions, alongside plenty of physical engagement/vinyasa flow. Movement from asana to asana will be slowed down enough to help engage the body and mind with awareness and intention.
This class is a good beginner yoga class and is also great for continuing yoga practictioners.
Class meets in-person on Tuesdays from 4:30pm-5:30pm. Cost: $15 drop-in, $75/6
Svaroopa® Yoga Continuing Classes (You can
start here or start with Beginning Svaroopa - either way)
Instructor: Solveig
Don't feel flexible? Practicing Svaroopa® yoga will help to restore your body's suppleness and flexibility. Through the use of propping and alignment, your muscles are encouraged to release all of the built-up tension that accumulates over the years.
In these classes, you will be doing poses in a series, working your body from the tailbone to the upper spine. Svaroopa® style yoga is not a vigorous, exercise style of yoga, but rather a deep healing yoga style that will open up your spine thereby relieving muscle pain and tension, as well as deeper levels of consciousness as you continue with the practice. This is a style of yoga that virtually every Body can do.
These Continuing Svaroopa classes are In-Person : Mondays 6pm-7:30pm, Wednesdays, 9:30am-11am and Sundays 4:30pm-6pm.
Zoom Classes: Wednesday 5:30pm-7pm and Friday 10am-11:30am.

More Vigorous or CONTINUING YOGA
Ashtanga Primary Series Led Class
Instructor: Rosemary
In this class, the student learns a set Vinyasa-style asana (yoga postures) sequence designed to condition the body and train the mind for greater concentration and clarity. A vigorous practice, there's a beginning(Surya Namaskar), a middle (a progression of standing and seated postures) and an end (backbending, followed by closing postures and rest, to integrate). Traditionally taught to a student gradually in a self-directed practice setting, this class is the "full flow" of the Primary Series sequence- with the use of Tristhana, or the three pillars of practice: Breathing, Posture and Gazing Point. Breaths are counted, postures are named and soft inward focus othe the eyes pull everything together for a moving meditation. Dance to the music of the breath, find your own practice Rhythm.
Remember: "BYO": Yoga mat, any props you may use regularly and a hand/dish towel makes a good strap/bind-helper as well as keeping any sweat at bay. Also BYO- your sweet self! A clean well rested body with clothing you can move in and a good attitude.
Adjustments! This is entirely up to you. I always ask first and frequently, as anyone's boundaries and circumstances may change from class to class.
Class meets in-person on Tuesdays from 6:00pm-7:30pm. Cost: $16 drop-in, $65/5 or $110/9 classes. For more info: https://midtownmoonashtangi.com
