Sunday 9:30am - Intermediate Yoga

ALL ARE WELCOME! 

If you have been keeping it real in Beginner Yoga class, this is your time to take it to the next level!

Intermediate Yoga is geared toward those newer to yoga but looking for more than a beginner class. The word 'intermediate' could be interpreted in yoga to describe the middle path or the moderate level - not more, not less, but just right.  No matter the pose or the yoga class level, we can all learn to find that middle gorud where we're invigorating but not exhaustiung ourselves. Because athletic abilities may vary greatly, I constantly tailor poses to accommodate individual skill levels and flexibility. Those newer to yoga should not be discouraged or intimidated just because they can’t do complicated acrobatic moves on their first try. It is about participating versus getting everything perfect. Let your mind relax and calm down, and not think about anything else but what your body is doing for that time. We choose to surround ourselves with body positive people. In this space, we nurture friendships and put bodily anxieties to rest.

This class will focus on breath work, strengthening, and balance poses with some added flow. Even if you can't get the pose on your first try we have props and modifications to help you attain the same benefits as those pretty folks on the cover of yoga magazines. For 75 minutes you’ll experience instruction, movement, use of props and pose modifications along with a bit of guided meditation. Wear loose comfortable clothing you can move around in. You'll need to bring a yoga mat, a hand towel and water.

Yoga offers us a path to greater understanding and a deeper connection to ourselves and others. This path requires our patience, compassion, reflection, and connection. It all starts with serving each other in a way that inspires unity through inclusion. Unity is what yoga is all about. 

This class is open to EVERY BODY of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and experience levels. You are welcome, supported and safe at Melrose Yoga!

See you on your mat Sunday at 9:30am
