Saturday Afternoon Yoga Course with Jesse Ng

Suitable for complete beginners and intermediate level practitioners, this course will give an overview of the major styles of yoga commonly found in studios today, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Detox. Variations and modifications to asanas (poses) will be introduced for each student to enter and deepen their practice at their own level and pace. Topics include various asanas (poses) for improving flexibility, strength, and balance, specific breathwork necessary to enter each pose correctly, pranayama (breathing techniques), bandha (energy locks), mudra (energy seals), kriya (cleansing techniques), knowledge of the chakras (energy wheels) and meditation. This course teaches yoga as a spiritual practice. Students are advised not to take the physical practice as a competition but as a journey to appreciate themselves more on their paths to achieving body-mind-spirit union and equanimity.
