Hello All,

I will be teaching a progressive yoga course in the fall.

I have been apprenticing with Jesse Enright for almost 3 years now and he has asked me to take over his Level 1 course.

What:  SmartYoga Level 1 Progressive Course

SmartYoga combines deep, conscious breath work, powerful flowing movements and meticulous alignment.  It is designed to be both a structured daily routine and a means by which students can understand and adapt the practice of Yoga to meet their specific needs.

SmartYoga emphasizes anatomical education to instill in students a love and respect for the amazing design of the human body.

Each class will begin with sitting, breathing, a short series of preparatory exercises and a brief discussion on theory and anatomy. The majority of the class will be spent in the learning and practice of the SmartYoga posture sequences.
Subjects covered include:

- Breath/Pranayama
- Preparatory exercises
- Sun Salutations
- Standing Postures
- Hip Openers
- Backbends
- Inversions
- Meditation

Why: A sequential/progressive class structure provides a greatly accelerated and more fertile learning environment for both the student and instructor. Instead of “starting from scratch” as is often the case in the drop-in class model, each session builds and expands on what has been covered in proceeding lessons. Perhaps the most valuable asset of a sequential/progressive approach is that it allows a relationship to form between teacher and student. This is the foundation of an authentic yoga practice and gives the dedicated student the in depth and individual attention they deserve.

When: Sundays 7-8:30pm September 13 - Dec 6 (no class Oct 11)

Where: Kitsilano Community Centre 2690 Larch St

Cost: 12weeks @ $159
