Anusara-Inspired Yoga with Gill Wortley

"Anusara Yoga is a powerful hatha yoga system that unifies a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic Goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment. The poses in Anusara Yoga are considered to be quot;heart-oriented," meaning that they are expressed from the "inside out." Instead of trying to control the body and mind from the outside, the poses originate from a deep creative and devotional feeling inside." www.anusara.com

Punk Rock Yoga with Jess Commins

Punk Rock Yoga is a style of class that was designed to increase accessibility to yoga, and reduce commercial elements known to interfere with yogic philosophy. It is a casual, affordable, candle-light (dim) class, set to a diverse range of music - the ultimate yoga soundtrack, being one that is warming, fun, rhythmic and then calming. Poses are specifically chosen to be safe and appropriately challenging for all ages and levels of fitness.

Partner poses are incorporated into the sessions to facilitate community spirit - look out for the Anarchy Mantra!

"Punk Rock Yoga confronts the notion that punks are angry miscreants and that yogis are contortionistic hippies. These stereotypes occur when people react to superficial details and believe they can identify punks merely by their shocking hair and a yogi solely by his ability to put his leg behind his head. People are multifaceted and someone can be a punk and a yogi at the same time. My feelings about punk rock and yoga is that both are raw, honest, accessible, empowering, resourceful, independent, provocative and energetic. These concepts drive Punk Rock Yoga." --Kimberlee Jensen Stedl, founder PRY
