Class Descriptions

All Awareness Center classes include a comprehensive series of exercises to stretch and strengthen the major muscle groups of the body and increase the flexibility of the spine. Postures are merged with powerful breathing techniques that energize and/or promote deep relaxation.

Each class includes tuning-in with a mantra, a warm-up, and a kriya (a series of excercises) including asana (posture), pranayama (breathing technique), mudras (hand positions), mantra (positive affirmations), and meditation (quieting the mind). All classes end with a deep relaxation. Our classes are for all ages, levels, and abilities, so even a beginner can start with any class.

Kundalini Yoga-Easy
Open to all levels, this class leads you in a more gentle practice. Exercises are adapted or shortened and there are more rests in between, making the practice more accessible to students with physical limitations, chronic illnesses, or those who are looking for a class with a slower pace.

Kundalini Yoga-All Levels
Open to all levels of students from beginner to intermediate to advanced. Awareness Center teachers are trained to offer modifications or increase the challenge for each student. We teach you to listen to your own body and increase your self-awareness.

Kundalini Yoga-Intermediate
Open to all levels for students who are ready for a challenge. This class includes a longer set or combined sets with longer exercises and meditations, and fewer rests in between them.

Heart Conscious Prosperity
Open to all levels, this class is focused on attracting opportunities, opening your Heart Center, and building a heart-centered prosperity consciousness.

Hatha Flow
Hatha Flow is a moving meditation where we develop deep concentration and apply it to becoming specifically aware of the body while doing hatha yoga postures. By exploring different locations of sensations in the body, different types of physical and emotional sensations, and different aspects of sensation, we transform consciousness and become much more present and deeply relaxed. It is taught as a guided meditation during a Vinyasa/Flow Hatha Yoga practice which increases endurance, balance, strength, flexibility, and enhances health and vitality. Beginners who are in good physical condition are welcome. This vigorous style of hatha yoga is perfectly suited to those who are interested in a good workout as well as a deep form of meditation.

Kid's Yoga
In a supportive and creative environment, kids will use their imaginations, practice their ability to concentrate and focus, strengthen and stretch their bodies, and increase the awareness of their spirits. Yoga enhances a child’s growth through motor development, balance and coordination, self-esteem and positive self-image, self-awareness, and spacial orientation.

12-Step Yoga
The word Yoga means Union: Union between you and your higher power; union between the finite and the infinite. This union serves as a backbone for a strong recovery. Whatever your addiction, this class will serve to help you through the technology of Kundalini Yoga and meditation. Led by Guru Darshan, this class includes readings from recovery literature, inspirational poetry, and meditations specifically for breaking addiction. This class is ninety-minutes long, and is open to all students, whether in a 12-step program or not.
