CLASSES STRUCTURE
Blissful Body Yoga is a yoga of awareness and inquiry influenced by many different yoga traditions including vinyasa, Iyengar, Kundalini and Kripalu yoga.
It is a "come as you are approach" where students are invited to Breathe, Relax, Feel, Watch, Allow.
Each Blissful Body Yoga Class includes:
Centering: to quiet mind and come back to a place of deep inner peace.
Pranayama: breathing exercises to increase the flow of prana (life force).
Pratapana: to warm and energize the body; get your prana flowing!
Asana: to strengthen and stretch the body, and focus the mind.
Relaxation: time for physical, mental and spiritual integration.
Meditation: to still the modifications of the restless mind, making room for steadiness and intuition.

Blissful Vinyasa Yoga: this is a challenging and energizing practice where yoga postures and breath are linked together in a flowing form. Great strength and cardiovascular endurance are developed in this practice.
Blissful Deep Stretch Yoga: this class focuses on stress relief and a deep release of the muscles and soft tissues. Deep breathing is used in conjunction with long, deep holds of yoga asanas (postures) and the class ends with the use of small "therapy balls" designed to open and release soft tissue.

What do I bring to yoga class?
• yourself in comfortable clothing (like you would wear to the gym)
• a yoga mat (or you can purchase one from me for $20)
• water
• a towel can be useful
Do not eat within 2 hours of your yoga practice. Full tummy + yoga = not blissful.
