7 Alignment Yoga Classes in Long Valley, Washington Township, NJ 07853, USA

Each week, I introduce new themes of mind, body and spirit in this alignment-based vinyasa flow class, suitable for all levels. I provide a variety of options to make the class more challenging, as desired. Weekly themes include inspirational readings from yoga philosophy, informative lessons on chakras, Ayurveda, meditations, mudras and more. I enjoy infusing the class with a variety of creative options, leaving students feeling relaxed and inspired.

Hatha is a classical form of practice where there is longer holding of yoga poses. Classes will include warm up exercises, sun salutations (a graceful series of poses performed as one fluid movement, coordinated with the breath), and postures to encourage flexibility, strength and balance, as well as relaxation. There will be a strong focus on alignment inspired by teachings from Iyengar Yoga.

You will explore basic poses more deeply, as well as practice intermediate and advanced poses. By repeating poses and staying in them longer, you have time to discover a deeper level of understanding of both basic and more refined levels of alignment: inner and outer, shape and direction, form and function. Being still in a pose will become effortless and joyful.

Beginner to advanced, moderate to vigorous intensity.

Appropriate for those with moderate yoga experience.
Expect sun salutations and beginner arm balances.

Learning the fundamentals and growing with them as we work on a therapeutic practice of posture, balance and breath while establishing awareness and a healthy back through increasing strength and flexibility from head to toes to fingers.  Learning something new in each class and building confidence through repetition. Taking your practice off the mat and into daily life. Experience how yoga is different from any other movement modality as it is based upon the concept of breathing with each motion, learning how the body wants us to breathe. Never expected to do more than you can, reaching for your edges but never going beyond. Listen to your body speaking to you. I am there to guide you and watch.

Mixed Level Yoga class, appropriate for some experience on up. Many modifications will be given for different levels of experience and you will also enjoy meditations and deep relaxation. After teaching for a while, I will design an interesting theme for the class.
