Gentle Yoga focuses on modified and restorative poses, breath work, and relaxation techniques. Students learn how to draw attention inward to the breath and to the body. This is a great place to start if you have been inactive for some time or just want a gentle way to increase your flexibility, strength, and balance.

Hatha Yoga follows a tradition that is more than 5,000 years old. This is the most common and approachable style of yoga in this country. A regular practice of classical yoga poses and breathing techniques increases energy, strength, flexibility, and balance. Each class is varied and we strive to customize the classes to what the attending students are in need of improving. These classes balance all the categories of asanas (poses): standing, balance, abdominal strengthening, forward and backward bends, twists, inversions, and final relaxation. Sometimes you will sweat and sometimes you will remember to exhale--but you will always feel rejuvinated AND relaxed at the end of the class.

(Note: The Wednesday classes tend to be the most challenging of the week.)

A.M. Yoga These Saturday morning classes allow a variety of styles since the rotating teachers all come from different disciplines. It's a great way to experience several styles and learn alternate ways of approaching and deepening poses without leaving Roseburg. Sometimes it's gentle, sometimes it's rockin', and sometimes it's somwhere in between! Leave your expectations at home and attend with the idea of finding energy, inspiration, AND relaxation for the weekend.

(See bios for description of individual teachers' styles.)
