Classes For Beginners
Om Shala Yoga offers several ways to get started with yoga.
Level 1 classes: Designed to give everyone the time and support to learn basic postures, alignment, and breathing techniques. Perfect for brand-new students or for more practiced students who want to revisit the basics. No flexibility or experience required!
Restorative Yoga: For everyone, no flexibility or experience required! This practice guides you into gentle poses, most of which are done on your back and supported by folded blankets under knees, shoulders, etc. Allows the body to open and relax easily and naturally. No sweat, no effort – just extreme relaxation and gentle stretching. (This class will not offer as much instruction on alignment; focus is more on the relaxing benefits of yoga.)
Vinyasa & Alignment: More of a flowing practice, but with great attention to alignment. Appropriate for beginners.
