A quiet session to compliment your regular dynamic yoga practice. A small number of poses are held comfortably for approximately 3 to 5 minutes each. As muscles relax, this practice targets connective tissues and joints, specifically in the spine, hips, and legs. Each pose is designed to facilitate a deep, inner stillness and full stretch. Deep stretch can help prevent deterioration of connective tissue and increase our range of motion. This level is also suitable for students who are recovering from breast cancer.

A physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Many students call Kundalini yoga the yoga of awareness because it focuses primarily on practices that expand sensory awareness and intuition in order to raise individual consciousness. Considered an advanced form of yoga and meditation, its purpose is to cultivate the creative spiritual potential of a human. Purchase Yoga Class Passes

Sun Style. Many consider this the gentlest style, which makes it immediately accessible to the beginners, the elderly and those who have difficulty moving. At AYC, we teach a shortened 12-move version of Sun Style, developed by Dr. Paul Lam as “T’ai Chi for Arthritis”, as well as the Sun 73, also known as the Sun Long Form. This is a class for the newcomer to T’ai Chi, as well as those who have a basic understanding of the Sun form. Go to T’ai Chi for Life for more information.
