Fall Yoga Classes

Jake's Hatha Yoga Teaching Style:
My practice and teaching style is inspired by the kosha model, a wholistic, multi-faceted perspective of the person. I also incorporate Ayurveda, and some subtler aspects of yoga from the tantric tradition (mudra, yoga nidra, subtle pranayama, chakras). I create each class starting with a theme (chakras, grounding, self, elements, strength...) and teach the class using the most relevant practices, and language for that theme. Each yoga class begins with body/self awareness, pranayama, warm ups, asanas, relaxation/yoga nidra and meditation. I am most interested in teaching the subtler aspects of yoga, using asana as one of many practices, to uncover the ground of Being that underlies our physical, energetic, emotional, cognitive, personal qualities.

Where:
Classes will be held at La Parfumerie (145 Evanson St), here in the heart of Wolseley.

When:
Classes will be at 6:30pm or 8pm Wednesday and Thursday. Let me know which days you prefer, since I have not finalized the schedule. I'm hoping to start classes on the 10th or 11th of September.

Fees:
$9 per 75 minute class, and a 10 week session is $75.

Private Classes:
I welcome private classes for you alone, or for a group of upto 4 of your friends. Fees are $36, per 75 minute class (divided amongst your private group). I am enthusiastic about catering to your needs, and interests, whether they be to emphasize specific parts of the body, or to incorporate more subtle aspects of yoga (mantra, mudra, subtle pranayama, chakras).

Yoga Therapy:
I have received certification from 2 schools of yoga therapy, and would love to cater a yoga practice for your physical, emotional or spiritual needs.

Yoga Nidra:
see June posts for more information about this practice.
