Learning The Basics
Each week, students will go through a full yoga class highlighting various elements in a typical practice.

Week One:
In this first class we will introduce the various ways you can comfortably sit on the floor including some basic breathing exercises (Pranayama), as well as how to link movement with our breath. In addition, by the end of the practice you will gain a greater understanding of the sun salutation (Surya Namaskar) and explore many of the different variations.

Week Two:
The second practice will focus primarily on standing postures such as Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I), Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II), and Triangle (Trikonasana). We will also experiment with a few balancing poses like Tree (Vrksasana) and King Dancer pose(Dandayamana Dhanurasana).

Week Three:
The focus of week three is forward bends. We will learn how to safely come into forward bends like Cobblers Pose (Badha Konasana) and Head-to-Knee Pose (Janushirsasana). We will also incorporate variations for those who might experience discomfort due to lower back pain or tight hamstrings.

Week Four:
On the flip side, week four's focus is backward bends. Poses we will discuss include Bow Pose (Dhanurasana), Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana), and Locust Pose (Salabhasana).

Week Five:
In week five will discover and assess the Shoulder Stand (Sarvangasana) as well as other inversions. We will also discuss twists this week.

Week Six:
The final week will be a culmination of everything learned from the previous weeks as well as an introduction to restorative yoga.
