Course Descriptions

Jenny offers a wide range of courses and workshops to suit every need (note that not all classes are offered at all times; for details please contact Jenny). Below are descriptions of some of the programs offered.

All Levels
is designed around the students attending that particular day. Yoga "challenges," asana selection, and class focus will vary. Expect the class to include some, but not be limited to, flow breath work, hip work, strength and balance work.

Yoga I/II
is for continuing students having completed Level I. The emphasis of this course is on building endurance and introducing Yoga II standing poses. This class is suitable for students who have practiced other styles of yoga besides the Anusara method, but is not suitable for those who have never studied yoga before.

Level II
(Continuing) is open to students who have completed a level I course or have previous Hatha yoga experience. Greater detail is given to the basic standing poses. Revolved standings and continuing level inversions are introduced, emphasizing their preparatory actions. Sun Salutations, forward bends, backbends, twists and arm balances are also introduced.

Level II plus
(Continuing) is open to students who have completed a level I course or have previous Hatha yoga experience. Greater detail is given to the basic standing poses. Revolved standings and continuing level inversions are introduced, emphasizing their preparatory actions. Sun Salutations, forward bends, backbends, twists and arm balances. Students will explore the more subtle aspects of the body in the poses. Chanting, meditation and moving with sound and breath introduced.

Yoga II/III
is for intermediate students who have completed Yoga I and II, and would like more instruction and practice in the revolved standing poses and inversion preps. It will begin with Yoga II poses and move gradually into Yoga III poses, particularly learning the more subtle aspects of the body in the poses. Students will practice chanting, meditation and moving with sound and breath in the poses.

Yoga for Special Conditions & Injuries
is for those who have physical conditions (serious spinal problems, arthritis, heart problems, chronic and acute injuries for example), and who need more individual attention. Class will move at a slower pace to optimize the potential for healing and improvement. All poses will be carefully modified for each student's needs and abilities. This class may not be used as a make up and drop-ins are not accepted.

Gentle Yoga
combines warm-ups, gentle and restorative postures, yogic breathing, and guided deep relaxation to reduce stress and increase movement and vitality. Designed for students who prefer a class less vigorous than Yoga I, Gentle Yoga is also ideal for students experiencing illness, injury, or chronic pain.
