Instructors: Devon Dederich¹ , Beth Heffernan² (see the Schedule page for information on meeting days/times.)

All classes emphasize the development of strength, flexibility, alignment, and cultivating a focused, clear and quiet mind. These classes follow the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar.

• Level 1 (Moderate): classes work on basic postures, breath work, restorative practice, and steadiness of the attention. Lots of patient and determined effort on the fundamentals.

• Level 2 (Hard-work): classes are intermediate level, and here we develop inverted postures, backbends, and other more complex poses.
  (Please check with the instructor before coming to classes.)

• Mixed Level: classes welcome all students; however, Beginners Series I or equivalent is highly recommended before attending.

• Beginner Level 1: A step-by-step introduction to yoga, designed for the complete beginner or for those seeking review of the fundamentals of yoga postures.

FOR THOSE IN FINANCIAL NEED: I will never turn an earnest student away who lacks the means to pay for classes. If you need a reduction in your fees, just ask. Yoga is supposed to work like this; it is my job and my joy to offer this to you.
