Here's the weekly schedule:
WEEK 1 Tracie will introduce you to the Flourish Yoga and Wellness studio space and help you begin your yoga journey. Each week of this series you will be introduced to parts of the 8 limbs of yoga. The 8 limbs, from ancient texts often credited for the philosophy in yoga, present practices in life used to lead a fulfilling and healthy existence. This first week you will learn some brief history about yoga. You will learn how the mind, body and breath work together in unison to form what a yoga practice can mean to you. The different props often used in the classroom will be introduced and you’ll be shown common uses for them. After a warm-up, yoga asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathing) will be introduced, including some basic seated and standing poses, including Sun Salutation A.
WEEK 2 The importance of the breath continues to be emphasized in Week 2. You will be introduced to more standing poses including Warrior I and Warrior II. Tracie will also introduce balancing poses. Body alignment, a critical aspect to a yoga practice, will continue to be emphasized.
WEEK 3 You will learn poses that strengthen the back and improve flexibility in the spine. Tracie will introduce twisting postures, heart opening poses and Sun Salutation B, as well as continue to emphasize breathing techniques. You will practice the entire sequence, which will combine Sun Salutations A and B and end with a calming meditative finish.
WEEK 4 In this final week of the series, you will apply many of the things you’ve learned in the previous weeks and practice a basic asana flow. The flow will introduce you to the experience you will get in a typical Vinyasa class at Flourish Yoga and Wellness. You’ll also learn about the different yoga class styles offered at the studio and this will give you a chance to ask any final questions about yoga and our classes.
