DOGMA ATHLETICA YOGA CLASS PROGRAM

Class Descriptions

Gentle/Beginners - These classes are relaxed and user friendly. They are designed to give students a foundation in yogic breathing, stretching and strengthening.

Anusara Yoga - Anusara classes blend a spiritual context to awaken and celebrate the heart with the Universal Principles of Alignment, which bring the body toward its optimal muscular, skeletal, and energetic blueprint

Power Yoga - Power Yoga is a vigorous flow practice synchronizing breath with movement through a series of postures. Beginning with sun salutations to build internal heat, this class will include variations of standing balances, inversions, backbends and other more challenging poses. Although this is a physically demanding class, the student is encouraged to work at their own pace and within their own abilities. Result: A stronger, leaner, more flexible body, an increase in energy and endurance and an overall improvement in mental, physical and spiritual health.

Forrest Yoga - The Forrest Yoga method gets you connected to your core- getting strong and centered. We use a little heat (80 degrees), breath, and vigorous sequences to sweat out toxins while the long holds in the pose progressions help you flush, rejuvenate and oxygenate every cell in your body. Forrest Yoga does not require strength or flexibility; it only requires that you bring a willingness to learn how to feel authentically and respond honestly. As you advance in Forrest Yoga, step by step, you learn to intelligently ride your breath into the exhilarating advanced poses.

Vinyasa Flow - Vinyasa means to flow and each posture is linked with breath flowing from one to the next creating heat and suppleness in the mind and body. Melt away stress as you cleanse your body of toxins as you strengthen and stretch. Challenging and accessible to all levels.

Meditation - Meditation can help reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Anyone who lives a 'modern lifestyle,' will benefit hugely from our meditation classes. Meditation is also the essential key for anyone wishing to explore the more profound and subtle aspects of their being. Our meditation techniques do not require you to believe in anything at all. You simply learn the techniques and begin to explore.

Intro to Meditation - This class is geared for students with no experience in meditation. Class begins with an introduction to meditation technique and will include a short meditation time.

Private Instruction - Our instructors are available for private lessons. A private yoga lesson is 1 - 2 hours and may be experienced in your home or here at Dogma Athletica.

A private yoga lesson is a wonderful opportunity to more deeply explore and translate the language of your own physical body. Tension, pain, weakness, strength, ease and pleasure are the words of the body. Specific areas of the body and how the energy is stored in these areas directly reflect your experiences and how you relate to them now. By allowing the body to communicate, as we consciously observe the landscape of your body in action, you can identify how to approach your present situations in a new manner. Recognizing and releasing old, debilitating patterns opens up your life to new opportunities to improve how you feel physically, as well as mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
