Bamboo Class Descriptions

ANUSARA YOGA with Adele : A popular hatha yoga style with a Tantric philosophy. The emphasis of the school is on a set of "Universal Principles of Alignment" which underlie all postures, "heart opening" postures and the spiritual/meditative benefits of hatha yoga.  Currently, Anusara Yoga is one of the most popular and fastest growing yoga styles in the world due in large part to its uplifting philosophy, epitomized by a "celebration of the heart," that looks for the good in all people and all things.

ASHTANGA YOGA with Bonnie: This method of Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with progressive series of postures‹a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

DEEP HEALING: A restorative blend of the sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda in which we learn to still the mind, master the breath and open the body in ways that promote inner healing, mental clarity, contentment, pain reduction and greater self-awareness.
