Class Descriptions:
Yoga or Hatha Yoga is a system of relaxation, breathing, exercise, and meditation designed to
reduce stress, increase energy, and improve strength, flexibility, balance, alignment, and
concentration. In this class you will learn and practice techniques that will cleanse and
purify the body, mind, emotions, and spirit for overall health and wellness. Yoga can also
help improve self-esteem, confidence, decision-making, insight into everyday problems, and lead to self-
discovery. This class will be an eclectic style of yoga and meditation based on sound principles of
traditional yoga practice.It is a mixed level yoga class suitable for all ages, abilities, and experience. All
are welcome.
Modified Ashtanga (Power) Yoga is a Beginners Instructional class based on the Primary Series of
Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Beryl Bender Birch. Sometimes referred to in the USA or West as Power
Yoga, this traditional system of yoga is more physically challenging than a typical hatha yoga class.
This style of yoga is cleansing, purifying, and therapeutic with an emphasis on strength, flexibility,
balance, musculo-skeletal alignment, endurance, and concentration. Although we will approach
Ashtanga Yoga in a relaxed, fun, and approachable way, this class is for those students who are
reasonably fit with prior yoga experience.
Ashtanga "Flow" Yoga is a hard and soft sequence of yoga postures and movements blending the
physically hard elements of Ashtanga Yoga with the soft and flowing movements of Tai Chi. This
hybrid system of yoga combines the best of these hard and soft-form styles honoring the power and
discipline of Ashtanga Yoga while integrating the concept of softness and flexibility as strength from
the practice of Tai Chi.
Yoga for Gardening is for prevention and recovery of tired, achy muscles, joints, and bones during the

balance to increase your energy, endurance, and avoid injury. Steve has experience with gardening, so
he can help you cater your yoga practice to any special needs. In addition, he can teach you to "talk to
the plants" in order to make them grow faster, bigger, and better. Just kidding?
Yoga for Golf is... for golfers! Steve is also a golfer and former athlete, so... he knows what muscles
need to be stretched and strengthened for maximum efficiency and safety from injury on the golf
course. He also knows about concentration, focus, "keeping your eye on the ball," and... being "one"
with the ball for maximum performance. Come learn "secret" techniques, attitudes, and approaches to
golf that can make your game more fulfilling, enjoyable, and fun!
Gentle Yoga is a program that offers a safe, therapeutic, and restorative approach for anyone seeking a
gradual, careful, and gentle approach to developing and/or maintaining a vibrant, healthy, and active
lifestyle. This class may include people who have been physically inactive or recovering and
rehabilitating from injury, illness, or surgery. Senior adults and beginners to yoga at any fitness level are
welcome. Exercises and instruction will be modified to meet everyone's needs. This class teaches
relaxation techniques, proper breathing and posture, gentle stretching, and meditation for
stress-management, recovery, pain management, health, healing, strength, flexibility, balance,
endurance, peace of mind, and overall wellness.
