Beginner Yoga with Jim Readey
These classes are for students who are brand-new to yoga, or who simply want to review the basics. Topics covered include basic breathing techniques, the importance of relaxing within a pose, as well as detailed physical instructions for our postures.
All Levels Yoga with Jim Readey
These classes are for students of all practice levels and experience… kind of like a one-room schoolhouse. As with the intermediate classes, “all levels” classes take their inspiration, in part, from the desires and needs of the students in the room at the time.
Intermediate Yoga with Jim Readey
These classes are for students with some yoga experience who desire to take their practice deeper, and are willing to be challenged. Intermediate students are assumed to know some of the yoga basics such as 3-part breath, and ujayii breath. There is also a presumption that students know how to listen to their bodies, and back off from any strain or pain during practice.
Gentle Yoga with Jeannie Chellis
This gentle yoga class offers a slow-paced experience of deep yogic stretching with a focus on meditative relaxation.
Introduction to Yoga Nidra with Jim Readey
In this series, students will learn the essentials of yoga nidra in an experiential, interactive setting. Each class will consist of preparatory exercises, as well as an extended yoga nidra practice at the end.
About yoga nidra: While many meditation techniques tend to plunk us down on a cushion, and leave us alone to clear our mind, yoga nidra takes us by the hand and leads us on a guided tour of our inner terrain. In this way, we attain a deep understanding of the meditation process as it unfolds. Students experience profound relaxation on physical, mental, and emotional levels … as well as — not infrequently — life-transforming insights.
