About the program:
The Powell River Academy of Music is pleased to be able to offer a full range of yoga classes. The classes include Beginners Yoga, Level I, Level II and Power Yoga; this variety of classes provides opportunities for all levels of students.
Power Yoga – this is the most challenging of classes. Similar to Ashtanga Yoga, this type of yoga offers an opportunity to sweat and stretch. We begin with Surya Namaskar (Sun salutation) series and flow into standing, balancing, and strength poses followed by a floor series and inversions. A complete workout in an hour and a half.
Beginners Yoga – a great place to start for those who are curious about this ancient science of body and mind. Penny’s approach is gentle and thorough guiding the student through a full range of poses for the body, calming the mind in the process.
Level 1 – For those who simply want a good stretch assuming you know some basic yoga.
Level 11 – Generally open to students who have a background in yoga and want to go a little deeper into their practice. More detail, more hands on and partner work are emphasized as well as doing inversions.
At all levels, Yoga promotes physical and mental wellness; strength of mind and body. Yoga reawakens parts of the body long dormant and when stretched and strengthened fills the student with self-confidence.
Students enroll in 10-12 week progressive sessions.
