## Class Types

### 1. Beginner Classes
Gentle foundations for alignment, breath, and mobility. Perfect for those new to yoga or returning after a break. Learn fundamental shapes, safe alignment, and breathwork.

### 2. Ashtanga Mysore Classes
Self-paced Ashtanga practice where students move through the traditional sequence at their own rhythm in silence. Receive individual guidance, hands-on adjustments, and personalized instruction. The most traditional way to learn Ashtanga yoga.

### 3. Ashtanga Led Classes
Guided Ashtanga practice where the group moves together through the sequence as the teacher counts breaths in Sanskrit. Creates a powerful sense of rhythm, focus, and community.

### 4. Flexibility Classes
Targeted mobility flows to safely expand your comfortable range of motion. Focus on hips, hamstrings, and shoulders using progressive, nervous-system-friendly techniques with breath support.

### 5. Outdoor Yoga (Coming Soon)
Practice under the sky with grounding sequences that connect you to breath and environment. Weather-permitting with flexible scheduling.

## What is Ashtanga Yoga?

Ashtanga yoga is a traditional, systematic style of yoga from India that follows a fixed sequence of postures (asanas) synchronized with breath (vinyasa) and specific gaze points (drishti).

Key characteristics:
- **Fixed Sequence**: The consistency is key - the same sequence worldwide
- **Continuous Flow**: Dynamic, fast-paced, and vigorous practice
- **Mind-Body Connection**: Every move synchronized with breath
- **Primary Series**: Focuses on forward bends and twists, purifying internal organs

Benefits:
- Increased flexibility in spine and pelvis
- Strengthened core muscles and whole body
- Improved digestion and body detoxification
- Mental focus and discipline
- Stress reduction and mind calming
