Mixed Level Just Yoga
"Just Yoga" is just that . . . not disco yoga, hot yoga, power yoga, yoga
for redheads . . . just Yoga.
Our classes are designed for beginners or continuing students. Variations
of poses are offered and, as practice deepens, students choose their own
level of comfort at which to work. Classes focus on breath awareness,
relaxation, and self-acceptance. Just Yoga emphasizes safety through
proper body alignment, recognizing that everyone's body is different.
All our teachers are professionally trained by accredited
yoga schools. Most of our teachers have over 8 years of teaching
experience. The emphasis in all our classes is safety. With that sense of
safety, each student feels more empowered to be at one with their
experience. We discourage competition with other students, the teacher or
with one's self. We think of it as Just Yoga, as in just life. Going
with the flow and being willing to be open to all sensations and responses
without judgment or expectation. The challenge in Yoga is to remain
present and make positive choices about what is right for us, not just
what we are told to do. In the Just Yoga tradition of yoga we breathe,
relax, feel, notice and we accept where we are and who we are in the
present moment.
The wonderful thing about Yoga is that we can tailor each class to meet
our own needs.
The YogaConnection's Just Yoga classes are gentle and nurturing. The
YogaWorkout classes require turning up one's intensity without
sacrificing safety. In any class, at the YogaConnection or anywhere else,
it is important to take personal responsibility for the level that you wish
to work at. A gentle class can be very intense emotionally; a workout
class can reveal the deeper philosophy of yoga.
At the YogaConnection you have an opportunity to experience many different
styles of teaching....a buffet of yoga!
Kundalini Yoga
Yoga means union of body, mind, and soul, and in Kundalini yoga we
cultivate the body, but also learn to control our mind and elevate our
soul through deep relaxation and meditation. The result of practicing this
form of yoga is a healthy body, a calm and meditative mind, and an
elevated spirit.
Kundalini yoga is an ancient form of Indian Raj yoga passed down from guru
to disciple over centuries. “Kundalini” actually means “lock of the
beloved’s hair.” This curled lock, sometimes pictured as a coiled snake,
represents the life force or energy within us all that rests at the base
of the spine. Doing yoga, we awaken this energy, uncoiling the kundalini
and raising it through the chakras or energy centers, thus improving the
function of our physical, mental, and spiritual being. This form of yoga
uses asana (posture), movement, pranayam (breathwork), mantra (chanting),
meditation, and deep relaxation to accomplish these goals. A student at
any level of yoga can practice Kundalini—from beginner to advanced.
The goals of the Kundalini yoga class are to center ourselves, to relax,
to energize, and to prepare us to face the challenges of our everyday
lives. With the increased pace most of us are living, with all the tumult
and change in the world today, yoga is a place to access neutral mind, to
come home, and to become our true selves.
--Annie Archambault (Ananda Kaur)
