yoga
method I classes I intro courses I private instruction
Ashtanga Yoga is a system of practice based on a specific series of postures ( asanas ) that are linked by a fluid, conscious breath ( vinyasa ). Each sequence begins with sun salutations, progresses through standing and seated postures, and finishes with restoratives. Regular practice results in greater strength and flexibility, as well as improved circulation and clarity of mind.
Mysore is the traditional method for learning Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. Classes are for everyone and ideal for beginners because the practice is paced according to one’s individual breath and capacity. It is the most progressive way to learn yoga, fostering support, as well as independence. Start times are flexible to accommodate individual schedules . Please feel free to come and observe a Mysore class anytime during
regularly scheduled hours.
In Guided classes the instructor calls out the postures and the group moves and breathes together in sync. These are focused, energetic classes effective in establishing the traditional pacing of one breath for each
movement. Recommended for those already somewhat familiar with yoga asana.
Vinyasa classes differ only in that the sequence of postures may be improvised from class to class.
Intro courses teach students the fundamentals of Ashtanga Yoga – breath, alignment, and movement – in a way to make this method easily accessible to people of all levels and abilities. This is a perfect place for anyone beginning yoga or those wanting to reconnect with their yoga practice. Courses begin on specific dates and last three weeks (see Schedule ). Space is limited; pre-registration is required.
Privates are ideal for meeting specific needs or goals and for those students who are interested in beginning or deepening their practice with personal guidance. Private instruction is useful:
- for those who want to try yoga for the first time and prefer not to practice in a group setting
- for those who have an injury or physical limitation and desire more individual attention
- for students who want a deeper immersion and to focus on or refine a particular aspect of practice
Private Instruction Sessions can be scheduled for individuals, couples, or small groups for 30, 60, or 90 minutes.
bodywork
structural integration I craniosacral I rates
Structural Integration (also know as RolfingTM) is soft tissue manipulation and movement education that addresses how the human structure relates to gravity. The intention is to unwind strain and patterns of holding to restore optimal alignment, natural function, and comfort. Through deep touch, and with the client’s participation, the fascia is lengthened and repositioned to create spaciousness and balance in the muscles, joint system, and entire body. The method is traditionally comprised of ten sessions, each focusing on a specific part and movement function of the body.
CranioSacral Therapy is a subtle approach to the body employing gentle, noninvasive touch to the spine, skull, and diaphragms. By tuning into and supporting the natural rhythm of one’s system, it brings the central nervous system into harmony to unwind tension, remove restrictions, and allow change. The results are increased natural energy and enhanced healing capabilities, as well as an overall feeling of wellness.
Structural Integration Session $85.00
CranioSacral Session $55.00
meditation
method I current schedule I rates
Meditation is the practice of relaxing and paying attention while being with all of the thoughts, feelings, sensations, and ambient sounds that arise. It is an obvious and important compliment to the practice of yoga postures allowing for a deepening of both practices and for spontaneous insight to occur.
In its essence meditation improves all aspects of one’s practice and life, but unearthing the treasure requires dedication.
There are many traditions and methods taught; all are welcome from beginners to those with an established practice. If you would like guidance you may arrange to speak with someone prior to coming or upon your first visit.
Mondays 4:30-5pm
Wednesdays 4:30-5pm
See Schedule for other class offerings at studio 72.
There is no charge for meditation practice; all classes are offered by donation or dana , which is the practice of giving freely as one is able or moved to do so.
about
jennifer
Jennifer Morrison has been a student of yoga since 1993 and was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga in 1996, which she has been practicing ever since. She is committed to its path as a way to cultivate presence and equilibrium – on the mat and in daily life.
During Jennifer’s 12 years of teaching, yoga has flourished, and classes can number up to 50 students, or more. While the far-reaching aspect of yoga is wonderful, the method of one-to-one teaching has significantly diminished. Opening studio 72 is a response to the mass yoga phenomenon where students can expect small
classes and receive individualized attention and support.
“One of the great joys of teaching is meeting students right where they are – in their bodies, their lives in general, or on a given day – and supporting their practice as a means of cultivating health, balance, and
essentially, peace.”
Jennifer is also certified in Structural Integration (The Rolf Method), which lends its wisdom of how the body moves within the field of gravity to her knowledge. With clarity and compassion, Jennifer teaches to share the Ashtanga tradition and the infinite gifts of yoga. To learn more about Jennifer visit www.ashtangaway.com .
