In Hatha Yoga, developing a solid foundation through basics is essential. This process involves
conditioning your body, mind and temperament through study, understanding and practice. Yoga practice
is also a personal art form; with it you can explore, experience and express your sensibilities. However, it
is necessary to understand approaches to arranging yourself in order to do so, hence the Master Class.
The term Master Class here refers more to you the student, than to me the teacher. These classes are so
that you, the experienced beginner can continue developing your Mastery of the basics. The emphasis is
targeted study and clarification. These sessions are designed to augment your ongoing class study.
The difference between a Master Class and a regular class is the length and degree to which we go into
further detailed analysis and explanation of important areas. Your questions are answered and there is
more time for in-depth dialogue. Beginners’ Master Classes are recommended for beginners who are
enthusiastic about deepening their understanding of the basics, and experienced practitioners interested
in revisiting, reviewing and strengthening their foundation.

Studio Yoga 6 Venture from your beaten path
Leg Stretching Hip Openers 2/25/12 1:00-3:30pm
Leg Stretching Hip Openers generate flexibility and suppleness in your hip joints and hamstrings, which
creates fluidity in the movement of your thighs at your pelvis. They help protect your back, by allowing
weight shifts from the movement of your upper body to pass freely through your fluid hips into the
support of your legs. This simultaneously increases your stability and mobility, establishes poise and
enhances ease in your presence.
The focus of this class is on learning how to use your hands and arms to manipulate your feet and legs,
to affect the opening of your hips.

Preparing for Inversions 3/24/12 1:00-3:30pm
Handstand, Full Peacock, Shoulderstand and Headstand are all powerful asanas that embody strength,
grace and wholeness. These poses provide profound physiological and psychological benefits and fortify the
spirit. Inversions require that we actively ground in our relationship to the earth in an unfamiliar orientation,
which fosters integration and presence. They enliven and refresh our mind and all of the body systems.
The focus of this class is learning how to integrate the actions of the hands, arms and shoulder girdle, in
order to create connectivity and confidence in a strong rooted foundation for inverting.
