Class Descriptions
Anusara Yoga (following your heart, flowing with grace) is a uniquely integrated approach to Hatha Yoga developed by master yogi John Friend. It embraces the art of the human spirit and powerfully blends this with the science of biomechanics. Anusara Yoga is an exceptional yoga system that integrates the celebration of the heart, universal principles of alignment, (energy loops and spirals) and balanced energetic action into the performance of asanas.Yoga 1
This class is designed to introduce students to Anusara’s Universal Principles of Alignment and energy loops and spirals. The emphasis will be on standing poses, while introducing the basic genres of yoga postures, including beginning backbends, hip-openers, and supine poses. Students will leave feeling more confident and grounded in their bodies as they work to systematically stretch and strengthen their hamstrings, hips, backs, and shoulders. This level is appropriate for students without any prior yoga experience, and for students new to Anusara.
Yoga 1 - 2
This class encompasses a more vigorous sequence of postures, giving students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Alignment Principles through the practice. Focus will be on further exploration of the standing poses and hip openers while also introducing deeper backbends, handbalances, and inversions. This level is appropriate for students who have some general yoga experience or are in good physical condition.
Yoga 2 - 3
An exploration of the advanced standing poses, backbends, inversions, hip openers, and twists, this class is designed to incorporate the alignment principles at a deeper level. Students will challenge themselves in a playful and creative environment as they continue refining their practices. This is the most advanced class offered at Gateway! Students must be able to kick up to handstand by themselves at the wall and do a full backbend with straight arms. Please speak with the teacher before signing up.
Open
An open level class refers to one in which there is a mixed level of students. A wide range of poses will be taught, but the class will include more variations to accomodate people working at different levels of the practice. Students are still ensured to leave with a greater feeling of overall well-being, not to mention a deeper understanding of the Principles of practice.
Gentle Yoga and Therapeutic Alignment
Suitable for all levels as well as those working with injuries or physical limitations, this class takes an in-depth look at the Principles of Alignment through a series of basic poses. The focus of the class is to Open to Grace and use alignment to increase mobility, relieve pain, and return the body to its Optimal Blueprint. Every class will include manual adjustments and restorative yoga poses.
Yoga for the Cardiac Patient
This class is for anyone who lives with cardiac disease or who simply wants to improve their cardiac health. The theme of the class is to connect with one's own inner grace. It will emphasize a greater mindfulness of the breath, heart expansion, chest opening, and gentle vinyasa for improved breath control and capacity. There will be modifications offered to honor each student's needs, and 60-75 minutes of asana with time at the end to discuss how the practice affects one's health and to connect with others.
Private Lessons
Scheduling a private session can be beneficial in many ways. One-on-one sessions are a great way to build one's own personal practice, and they also give the opportunity for a practitioner to refine his or her practice in a clear and life-enhancing way. Teaching privates gives me the opportunity to work with individuals to create a program that supports their needs. Contact me if you are ever interested in scheduling a session!Workshops
Workshops are wonderful opportunities to delve more deeply into the practice, expanding one's awareness and understanding, while also providing gateways for further exploration of specific aspects of the yoga practice.View Gateway Yoga's Fees & Policies
