I AM Yoga: Posture of Consciousness

This class is active and meditative! The practice holds the intention of embracing as much of the full sequence of Level 1 - Posture of Consciousness that can flow into this 1-hour class. The sequence has about 26 poses, practiced in an order designed to allow energy to flow through the whole body. In the Integrative Amrit Method of Yoga (I AM Yoga), our intention is for integration. This is an intermediate class that's best for yoga lovers with some previous experience or people who are ready to engage in active physical yoga postures, including coming up and down from the floor several times.

In the 1st half of the pose, you will be guided step by step into an asana (pose), with alignment cues that honor your body and help you breathe at your edge. Then, our instructors will make suggestions to highlight the press points and energetic extensions so you can feel the energy of the pose. You don’t need to know any pose names or remember anything, just follow the instructions! In the 2nd half, you pause to feel and integrate the effects of the pose. This is where we move into the meditative aspect of this practice. Focusing on the energy (prana) we feel in the body naturally leads us to deeper integration.
