Class descriptions below.
Ashtanga Yoga is a system of yoga established by T. Krishnamacharya (and popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois) designed to purify the body through breath and movement to bring stillness to the mind. There are a few ways we practice Ashtanga Yoga:
-
In a Led Primary Series class, students are led through the Primary Series in connection with their breath. Because we move with the breath and we move dynamically in the body, this is a physically challenging class. Beginners are encouraged to try at least one Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga class before attending a Led Primary class.
-
Mysore-Style Ashtanga Yoga is the traditional method of teaching Ashtanga yoga: 1-on-1 within a group setting. No prior yoga experience is necessary, only a commitment to grow and learn in the practice. Students work independently on the particular series of postures that is most appropriate for them. The teacher assists, adjusts and may quietly discuss particular difficulties or concerns with individual students during class. Beginners and those new to Ashtanga are welcome to start anytime and in any class.
-
Self-Practice: NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS. This class is for regular Ashtanga practitioners only. It is meant to be a silent class, where students just move and breathe on their own. There will be no guidance or adjustments from a teacher.
Gentle Yoga: A breath-based movement class that is suitable for all bodies and all levels of experience. We will pair our breath with postures to give our bodies the ability to find strength, flexibility, and relaxation in our poses and practice
Meditation: Sri HWL Poonja once said that "Meditation is when the mind is free and not holding thoughts. Let the thoughts come and go but do not run after them." Meditation at Sattva is led by Megan, and each session is intended to bring you out of your thoughts and into yourself, whether through use of breath, mantra, simple guidance, or silence. No experience is required. Come as you are, and be ready to look within.
Sattva Chants: Offered by Shelley Herlihy on the first Wednesday of each month (check MindBody for dates), Sattva Chants is a gathering to immerse yourself in the sounds and the vibrations of chanting. This is a joyful form of meditation, where Shelley will lead us by introducing us to whatever we will chant that evening, whether it is the name of a deity or a particular mantra, and what it means. No experience required. You can sit and listen, or you can join in. All who are called to come are welcome.
Moon Flow Yoga. The moon in the sky reminds us to look within, to open our hearts, and to stay right where we are, without pushing or trying. On Moon Days (check MindBody for dates), we will gather together to move, to breathe, and to honor the moon and ourselves. You can expect heart opening, hip opening, and grounding yoga postures, and whatever your teacher feels is being called for in the moment.
