~ 1st Thursday - Level III: In this class, students will engage in deep meditation, mantra chanting, breath practices (pranayam), and a free-flow of yoga asanas (postures).   Pranayam techniques create the focal point and energetic attunement that deepen the intuitive flow of prana through the body. Level III presents the opportunity to continue the practice of pranakriya (internal guidance) through the course of the class. Level III is a Self-guided practice from within. While Level I and/or II are not requisites for joining the class, attendance prior to or in conjunction with is highly recommended to reap the highest benefit from this deeply internal practice.  This class is not suitable for beginners.

~ 2nd Thursday - Yoga Nidra: with Heather.  Click for more information on Yoga Nidra here.

~ 3rd Thursdays - Posture Clinic with Nitya. These classes will be devoted to specific elements of the practice in a mini-workshop format, and students will receive individualized attention.  Each month will feature a different aspect of the Asana and Pranayama practice. We will break down the postures to highlight the subtler points so as to optimize the student’s experience of the postures.  The beauty of the practice is in its details.  This is a great way to deepen your practice.

~ 4th Thursday - Amrit Yoga Level II:  A Level II practice focuses on pranayam (breath) techniques as a way to cleanse the body and energy field.  The Pranayama deepen the states of inward focus and meditative awareness.  This prepares the way to hold postures for a longer period of time, building the energy charge in the body.  The release of the posture activates the body's internal guidance using this energy (Shaktiprana).  The benefits are a deeper state of stillness leaving one more peaceful and open to internal healing.
