BEGINNER YOGA/SEEDLINGS: A special introductory program for students new to yoga. This 4 week course introduces the basics of yoga, (alignment, pranayama, and asana). This course is not mandatory, but highly suggested, to ease your way intro Starseed yoga.

BEGINNER VINYASA YOGA: Yet another place for all those who are new to yoga.. A gentle basics class designed for students of all levels. Students will explore asana alignment for an optimal Vinyasa practice. Through a mindful review of the "Pose of the Month," the student will learn variations and the principles of entering, abiding and exiting each asana. Instruction will emphasize proper breathing and correct alignment. Consistent practice within this progressive program will lead the beginner through a smooth transition into Vinyasa II and prepare the more experienced student for further explorations at the more advanced levels. Emphasis on the basics of Vinyasa.

EFFORT/EASE, WORK/REST (LEVEL 1-2): Finding a balance in life and in all daily activities is what yoga teaches. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting your journey, discover the health benefits of Yoga. Travel deeper into your own practice through Asana (poses), Breath (pranayama), relaxation (restorative poses), yogic philosophy and meditation. This multilevel class will lead the beginner through the basic postures, while also challenging the more advanced student. Towards the end of each class we will seek out various ways we can reduce stress, let go of tension and experience stillness in our lives for a deeply relaxing experience.

INTERMEDIATE VINYASA: A more vigorous, Intermediate Vinyasa class taught in workshop style that introduces students to inversions, arm balances and basic jump backs in preparation for more advanced classes. Exploration of the "Pose of the Month" will enhance the practice through incorporation into the Vinyasa sequence.

VINYASA 1: Build the fundamentals of alignment and breathing with basic postures (asanas) linked to rhythmic breathing techniques. Classes are taught to safely open the body through fluid movement, correct alignment and breath awareness.

VINYASA OPEN: For all levels of students, a spectrum of poses (asanas) are taught in a flowing vinyasa style in which we move with the breath to create internal heat, challenge the body and quiet the mind. Modifications are offered to lessen or intensify the asana practice, enabling students to work at their own pace.

RESTORATIVE & THERAPEUTIC YOGA: A gentle but deeply healing class which allows the body/mind to de-stress and relax while rejuvenating the spirit. We begin with gentle movements to open and warm the body. Students are then placed into postures supported by blocks, bolsters and blankets to allow the body to naturally open and to release tight, tense muscles. During states of deep relaxation, the body's own natural healing system begins to awaken, increasing the strength of the immune system and allowing vibrant health to surface. Students leave class with a sense of calmness, feeling more energized and relaxed.

PRE-NATAL YOGA: This class is designed to prepare you for a healthier pregnancy and delivery. We recommend moms-to-be begin this class as early in their pregnancy as possible, all stages are welcome. Emphasis on core strengthening, pelvic alignment, and breathing.

BREATH CENTERED VINYASA 1 & OPEN: focuses on building strength, increasing flexibility and fostering relaxation through breath-centered asana, pranayama and meditation. This class offers an individualized, safe yoga experience providing students with a foundation to live life in the moment as healthy and connected individuals. Students are encouraged to relax, have fun and take risks on and off the mat!

STARSEED INSPIRED YOGA 1 & OPEN: Jyoti Chrystal, founder & director of Starseed Yoga has been studying and practicing yoga for over 30 years. It is her eclectic style that has inspired 'Starseed Yoga'. Hatha yoga in the classical tradition with focus on refined alignment to secure safety using stirtha/sukam (Sanskrit for comfort, ease and stability). Classes include pranayama (breathing) instruction and meditation techniques to allow one’s heart to open and deeper teachings of yoga to take hold and guide one’s life.

CORE YOGA: There will be a focus on poses that help to build abdominal strength and in turn will help strengthen the back (strengthening the abdominals always improves back issues!) . Some of the principles of Pilates will also be introduced to increase abdominal strength and pelvic stability. Some familiarity with yoga is recommended.
