Have you been curious about yoga but maybe a little intimidated by walking into a class where students "seem" to know what they are doing? If so then this series may be for you! I have designed the Intro to TriYoga Basics Course for you who are newer to yoga, new to this system of yoga, or maybe have not been in class for awhile and would like to improve the quality of your life. This course is also for you who already have a strong yoga practice and truly see the value of returning to basics to deepen understanding and refinement on the physical, mental, and spiritual plane. Enjoy definitive results such as:
Less muscle tension and pain; Less anxiety, stress, and feeling more calm; Feeling more joy with the release of endorphins; Improved flexibility, strength and range of motion; Improved concentration and mental functions; The inner peace that comes when you make the U-turn back inside.
This 8-week course will take you through an overview of the five basics foundational series of TriYoga, a comprehensive method of yoga. This course includes beginning yoga postures, the daily 5 breathing practices, inner focus, mudra and meditation. Props will be provided (for In Person) to ensure correct alignments, understand refinements, and to provide safety in the postures. Yoga philosophy will be offered and how to bring the yoga principles & practices into daily living.
