Group Class Descriptions
Led Ashtanga Primary: Practitioners are lead through Sun Salutations to warm the body and develop stamina; standing postures to develop balance; sitting postures to open hips, strengthen forward folding and develop spinal flexibility; back bending; plus a closing sequence with inversions to improve circulation and cool the body.
Although helpful for students to have significant movement and yoga
experience, a typical class has a wide range of experience, from
beginners to persons with many years of practice. Modifications are
given to make the practice accessible to all body types and fitness
levels. This ancient discipline utilizes the body to transform the mind.
Ashtanga Yoga literally means “eight-limbed”, the eight limbs of
Ashtanga Yoga were originally described by the sage Patanjali in the
ancient text, the Yoga Sutras (believed to be compiled in 2500 B.C.) Note: Once the sequence has begun practitioners are lead non-stop through about 75 minutes of asana practice and the flow of the class is not interrupted. You must also be prepared to sweat. The only real requirements to participation is desire, a sense of adventure and the willingness to connect with the transforming power of your breath. Yin:Cincinnati's fastest growing class! Yin yoga focuses on passively holding poses for longer periods of time to open up connective tissues deep within joints and help you find all of the inward limbs of yoga. Yin is a beautifully accessible form of Asana (physical yoga) for all yogis - from never-evers to advanced practitioners, everyone can benefit from this graceful, gratitude-filled, meditative practice.
