Levels in yoga classes

With online yoga classes for all levels making beginners, intermediate and more advanced yogis equally happy!

All yoga classes focus on physical postures (asanas) and their anatomically correct alignment. The frequent practice of these postures reinforce the body and help increase the awareness preparing you for seated meditations. Many classes also integrate a dynamic sequence that is called “flow”. This helps warming up the body enough to prepare and protect for more challenging asanas (yoga postures) to come.

Unless mentioned otherwise on the schedule, all yoga classes welcome all levels of yoga students. If you wonder what level you do figure in, we do invite you to consult the level in the descriptions of class style.

Basic Level

You are about to discover yoga or are looking for a slower class integrating foundational poses. Basic level classes are designed for both students with no experience, as well as more seasoned practitioners. Under the expert eyes of your experienced teacher you will learn the foundation of breathing techniques, proper alignment of basic yoga postures, the use of props and evolve quickly within the slowly flowing sequence of the class.
Building strength, flexibility, and balance, physical activity involves enough to be on the verge to break a sweat and elevate the cardiovascular endurance. It is normal that at the beginning you might feel overwhelmed with all the new information learned. But, worry not: benefits of yoga come to those who practice regularly.

Intermediate Level

The foundations of a basic level class are reviewed, intensified and tweaked through creative and more challenging sequences. Your understanding of yoga has evolved enough to tackle more demanding postures like arm balances, backbends and basic inversions. You will challenge your strength, stamina, and flexibility. Your teacher will advise you to either stay in the basic version of a posture or may try a more advanced variation.

Strong Level

You have a strong, solid yoga practice and know the difference between Surya Namaskar A and Surya B. You are familiar with intermediate yoga postures (including inversions and backbends) and are adding more advanced variations to your roster. Strong level classes are intense, physically demanding and combine creative sequencing with advanced asanas. In strong level classes you will build a sweat to achieve a heightened state of awareness, test your stamina and explore variations. We do expect you to be in excellent physical condition as you are guided through an intense sequence spiked with more advanced asanas.
