| "Once you go hot, you don't want to go back". The connective tissue is difficult to access, and to stretch it, you need gravity, time and heat, This class is a great compliment to your regular practice. At 92 degrees, muscles and connective tissue are at their peak for stretching and lengthening. Expect to feel renewed and detoxified! Note: this is not "Bikram Yoga".., I developed YogaMelt ~ allowing us to go beyond the same 26 poses. At Grounded By Yoga, I strongly believe in incorporating postures as needed - depending on who is in front of me. A traditional approach to heated Yoga. Allow your Yoga practice to be a never- ending journey mentally as well as physically......(Note: If you would like to see it back on the schedule, let us know day and time preferred!) MINIMUM 6 months regular Yoga practice at Grounded By Yoga pre-requisite. Not for Beginners. |

| Partner Yoga is not a substitute for individual Yoga practice, it is an accelerated path to experience directly the root principle of Yoga - union. To experience union, we relax into the present moment and our individual presence. From this primary connection with ourselves, we realize our essential sameness and unity with others. While suitable for intimate partners, this practice allows everyone to explore interpersonal dynamics in ways that nurture all of our relationships — making it a powerful tool for teachers and counselors, friends, parents and children, and all individuals seeking personal growth. Pre-Enrollment required as we limit this to 10 couples and is an 11-week series ($350 per couple) based on 11 principles. One opening for January - March 2012 sessions. PBPY Certified. (This series differs from the mainstream partner yoga. Please call if you would like additional information) |

| This class is a Mixed Level Yoga Class (Level 1 & 2) An extra special focus on : HAMSTRINGS, HIPS & BALANCE ! As HUMANS we naturally have tight hips, hams and lack of focus. Add "extra tight" for those who are athletic and/or muscular. We will focus on long holds connected to pranayama (breath) to lengthen these tight areas and an extra focus on balance. (This is not to be confused with the Yin Yoga long holds.......this 75 minute class will simulate most classes at GBY, but with the specific intentions mentioned.) For more information, visit here. |
