Class Descriptions
Yoga Classes are 75 - 90 minutes long.
Hatha Flow Yoga: This is the best description for the style of yoga that is taught at Laughing Bodies. Hatha yoga is the term for any style yoga that incorporates poses and movement of the body. Rebecca's background has included many styles of hatha yoga including Iyengar, Asthanga, Integral, Jivamukti and most recently a 2 year training with Mary Paffard. After many years of practice and teaching full time for over 12 years Rebecca combines a focus on alignment of the bones as well as incorporating breath and movement. Sometimes poses are held and repeated so students can understand the correct alignment. Other times we flow through poses so students can enjoy moving their body and coordinate the movement with breath. We always encourage students to work within their own limits. See detailed descriptions below for individual classes.
Beginner Yoga - Traditional style hatha yoga. Postures, breath work and relaxation are all part of the class. Instruction level is fairly detailed and yoga props are used to help aid the student in finding proper alignment. This class is appropriate for new students and those recovering from an injury, or those who are very stiff. Focus is on learning basic yoga postures giving the student a solid introduction and foundation to a variety of yoga postures. A limited amount of flow yoga is incorporated to help loosen the joints and warm up the body. All levels are welcome!
Mixed Level Flow Yoga: Mixed level welcomes those with yoga experience or new students who have no injuries and are physically active. A series of flow-like movements are used to warm up the body followed by an emphasis on alignment. Postures range from beginner poses to more advanced beginner poses. Options are offered with or without props to either simplify a pose or make it more challenging. It is helpful to have some experience with yoga but not necessary. However there is less focus on beginner alignment in this class as it is presumed you already know the basics. Please do not attend this class if you are struggling with an injury unless you check with Rebecca first. If you are uncertain whether you should try this class check with Rebecca or just be game and show up!!
Intermediate Flow Yoga: This class requires that one have yoga experience. Class includes a series of flow-like movements to warm up the body and then detailed alignment information is given for more intermediate poses. Unlike a mixed level class where we give options for poses - in this class it is important that you know what you are capable of doing and how to adjust for more challenging poses. We don't say this to discourage anyone from coming; but this class is for those who have made a commitment to yoga and have practiced for a number of years so that the instructor is able to focus more on challenging postures.
Private/semi-private Yoga lessons: private or semi-private yoga lessons are designed specifically for your body. Sessions run 60 minutes in length. Whether you are recovering from an injury or illness, feel shy about attending a group class or would like to develop a home practice -these sessions will challenge and encourage you. A wide range of options are offered at these sessions - alignment of the poses, restorative poses for healing, meditation, visualization or vigorous flow sequences. Package of 4 for one person: $200. Package of 4 for 2 persons: $100.00 per person. Package of 4 for 3 persons: $100.00 per person.
