Two new beginner yoga series start March 25th, 2008 at Well by Nature on Bearden Hill in Knoxville, TN. The morning yoga series will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15 to 10:45. The evening series meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:00.

Both series meet eight times over four weeks, giving ample time for an introduction to the benefits of a regular yoga practice.

You will gain a solid foundation of yoga poses, breathing exercises, meditation, and philosophy during the course.

The evening series is nearly full, so time is of the essence. To register for either beginning yoga series, please stop by Well by Nature or call (865) 584-3864 to ask about availability. The cost of the eight-class series is $125. Prepayment is required to hold your space.

In January we focused on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the sun salutation and variations, and several dynamic posture flows.

In the remainder of February and March, the class will kick up this Knoxville yoga class a notch to a more vigorous pace for building core strength.

Unlike many athletic yoga classes in the area, this more vigorously paced Kripalu Yoga practice maintains focus on the breath and inner experience of the mind and emotional body, integrating the physical and the spiritual experience.

Through core-building yoga asanas (positions), participants will gain the strength needed to enter and hold inverted postures like the headstand and half shoulder-stand.

It’s important to “lift” into a headstand rather than launching the body up a wall, risking injury. This practice takes strength.

The headstand is considered “king of the postures” with many physical, mental and emotional health benefits. If you have any mood disorder (depression, etc.), OCD, ADD, endocrine disorders like diabetes or hypoglycemia, or any number of other things, you really owe it to yourself to add this to your yoga diet.

(Some conditions are contraindicated — feel free to ask for more info.)

Really it’s a simple balancing pose once you’re in it. The trick is to get into it safely, and that’s exactly what you’ll learn to do.

The class is limited to 8 people, so you’ll get plenty of help and we’ll work in pairs at times.

You’ll also be introduced to the practice of the crow pose, a fun little balancing act with plenty of variations.

So, we’re breaking with all the serious philosophy stuff and making the moderate class playtime for adults.

The class meets 7:15pm Wednesdays at Yoga Haven (12 Forest Ct.) in the upstairs studio. This series will run February 20th through March 26th (6 sessions) and costs $75. Drop-ins are $15, students/seniors $12.

(The Moderate Kripalu class currently scheduled at this time will continue until the series begins.)

A series class is ideal for beginning students because every class builds on what you learned the previous week.

You will learn more than a dozen yoga postures and how to do them safely for your body.

Plus you’ll gain an understanding of yoga history and philosophy. You will also learn basic breathing, relaxation, and meditation techniques.

Space is limited, so please register. Or you can make your check payable to Yoga with Santosh and send it to this address:

I’m sorry to announce the end of morning classes in Farragut, TN. Last week I canceled the Thursday class, this week the Tuesday class bids farewell. They simply weren’t supported.

I hope to bring classes to Concord, Farragut, and Lenoir City, TN again in the future when there is enough interest to keep a class going. Please contact me if you are interested.
