Introductory Yoga 

This course teaches the basics of yoga practice in an organized and safe manner. It is designed for complete beginners, but is also suitable for people who have done some yoga before but now wish to deepen their foundational understanding of postures and breathing. 

                        Wednesday evenings, 5:45 to 7 PM, starting May 29th ($50 for 5 weeks)

           

Gentle Restorative Yoga

 

This is an on-going series which brings the benefits of yoga to individuals who are dealing with illness, injury, or medical treatments, or are recovering from those and may not yet have the stamina to participate in a regular group class. It is generally recommended to begin with a few private classes so the teacher can gain a clear understanding of the person's health, especially if the person is new to yoga.

                                           

Monday mornings 10:30 to 11:30 AM, starting June 3rd (5 week course -$60)

                                                                                                                                                 Intro-Continuing Yoga 

 

This series transitions students out of our Introductory series and into a continued exploration of yoga. It is also suitable for people who have taken yoga elsewhere in the past.

                     

                                   

Continuing Yoga

Yoga Philosophy Classes 

This class is taught on Tuesday evenings, from 7:15 to 8 PM. Upcoming dates are June 4th and June 18th. In those classes, Martine presents teachings from the fundamental text about yoga called The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. This text presents an understanding of the human mind through which a practitioner can move towards a healthier and more content life. Martine has studied this text with several prominent teachers in the Krishnamacharya/Desikachar tradition. She has also trained as a clinical psychologist at the doctoral level in her native France. This class is free for students who are currently enrolled at UYI.  For others, please contact us by e-mail or phone.

Vedic Chanting

 

This class is taught on Tuesday evenings, 7:15-8 PM. Upcoming dates are May 28th, June 11th and June 25th. Vedic Chanting is a joyful form of practice, a yoga of sounds. It engages all the parts of our human system: the body is involved in the production of sound, our listening skills improve, the heart is gladdened,and we enter into the wisdom of the deeper mind. Because it uses only 3 notes, Vedic chanting is accessible to all. Martine, who teaches the course, had no musical or voice background when she was introduced to Vedic Chanting over twenty years ago. If you feel uncomfortable about chanting, you can just come and listen so you can see what this is like.  This class is free for students who are currently enrolled at UYI.  For others, please contact us by e-mail or phone.
