amrita yoga classes begin with quiet meditation for opening into the process of yoga and awareness that occurs in the present moment, and an invocation for connecting to the timeless practice of yoga. Class structure includes poses and techniques drawn from the alignment principles of anusara yoga infused with physical therapy principles, inquiry, breathing practices, relaxation poses, and a closing meditation. The poses we choose are based on seasonal rhythms, the level of the class and the students, rehabilitation needs, and a progression toward a specific goal within the broader context of yoga.
