Kansas City Yoga Classes

Introduction to Ashtanga:
This class will teach the fundamentals of ashtanga yoga, to prepare the student for the regular ashtanga and vinyasa classes.

Ashtanga Primary Series:
This class refers to the full primary series of the ashtanga system, as taught in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. This flowing sequence of postures utilizes ujjayi breath and bandhas (energy locks) to increases muscular strength, flexibility and concentration.

Mysore Style Ashtanga: All Levels Welcome!
Mysore is a city in the south of India (see map) where Ashtanga yoga has been taught by  Sri K. Pattabhi Jois since the 1930's. This traditional Mysore style is taught silently and has students learn postures in a fixed order using a special movement-breathing technique called vinyasa. The vinyasa links the postures together in the dance of the breath.  Postures are given one at a time, by the teacher, so each student is given their practice according to their ability. Since each posture is designed to prepare you for the rest of the series, beginners tend to have a much shorter practice than more experienced students. As they gain strength, stamina, flexibility and concentration, additional postures are given to the student.

Vinyasa Yoga:
Vinyasa classes use the flowing vinyasa movement of ashtanga yoga, but use a VARIETY of postures (instead of a set series of postures like Ashtanga yoga) to cultivate balance, flexibility, strength and endurance.

Community Class (Yoga Basics):
This class teaches the fundamentals of vinyasa yoga with special emphasis on moving into and out of postures safely, correct alignment, and using the breath, to prepare the student for the regular ashtanga and vinyasa classes.

Kids Yoga - for Parents and Kids (ages 2.5 yrs-6 yrs):
This class offers a fun, creative approach to Yoga that includes both child and parent. The setting will encourage patience, confidence and appreciation of nature through animated yoga poses and relaxation techniques.
