Regular Zoom Classes

These classes happen weekly at regularly scheduled times (see above) on Zoom. Classes are a strong and steadily paced ashtanga vinyasa freestyle, which I adapt to best support students as they develop their own unique yoga practice. Wednesday evening sessions more closely follow the traditional ashtanga primary series, including the opening and closing chants.

First Saturdays: Community Practice

In these community practice sessions scheduled on the first Saturday of each month, I will simply call out the Sanskrit name of the postures and we'll move together. For newer students, it may be more challenging, but you are joyously welcome to join and follow along as best you can, just rest in child's pose whenever you need to. For more advanced students, I'll start with primary series and gradually layer in second series postures over time.

Monthly Extended Practice

Designed for dedicated students to 'go deeper'. The extended practice is a 2.5 hour session incorporating seated meditation, pranayama, and preparation poses prior to a rigorous flow in the classical ashtanga system. Sessions will include half or full primary series, as well as introductions to postures from the second series. We conclude with restorative postures leading into a deep Savasana. We practice softening into intensity - seeking ease and deep release as well as building strength, stamina, and focus. Time TBD when class is scheduled.

Physical Distance Practice

An occasional “physical distance” practice held throughout shelter-in-place held at Miller Knox Regional Park in Point Richmond, California. Practice begins at 10am; Savasana will conclude by 11:30am. There will be an opportunity to roll up your mat and depart at that time. For those who wish to stay, pranayama and meditation will be offered from 11:30am-12pm. Practice concludes by 12pm.
