Class Descriptions:
Power Flow Yoga : Based on Astanga yoga, this series of postures increases your flexibility, balance, overall strength, and mindfullness. Using controlled breathing (ujjayi pranayama), engaging your core muscles (bandhas), focusing your gaze, (dhristi), and practicing strong flowing movements, (vinyasa), you'll create heat allowing your body to stretch. We vary the poses from class to class, creating a balance of forward bending, backbending and twisting postures. When you finish this class you'll feel as though you've had a massage from the inside out. It is a complete mind and body workout that develops concentration and reduces stress. Great for athletes with tight muscles!. Be prepared to sweat! Level: Those in good physical shape.
Private Sessions: Enhance your practice with private coaching. One-on-one time to answer questions, focus on alignment, enhance mindfulness techniques and breathwork. Sessions designed specifically to meet individual interests and needs. Available upon request. Call 802.379.4514 or email: jo@wildmountainyoga.com
 
Power Yoga for Skiers and Riders: Based on Astanga yoga, a practice that is especially beneficial to skiers and snowboarders because it targets core strength while increasing flexibility and correcting imbalances. Core strength and body flexibility are the keys to achieving dynamic balance and reducing the risk of injury. This powerful form of yoga practice can help you have a more powerful and inspirational skiing/riding experience. Level: Those in good physical shape.
Power Yoga for Hikers and Cyclists: Bikers and hikers often enjoy the peace and solace of being alone, with an internal focus, while moving the body in an invigorating way. Through time, bikers and hikers often develop tight leg and hip muscles and lower back problems due to the unbalanced and repetitive nature of their movements. The basics of Astanga yoga will be utilized in this course to help open the hips and leg joints and correct imbalances in the body, while complementing strength-building movements, invigorating breathing and internal mental focus aspects of biking and hiking. Level: Those in good physical shape.
 
 
PRACTICE GUIDELINES
• Eat lightly or not at all before class. Come fully hydrated to a Vinyasa yoga class, as it is suggested that you refrain from drinking water during the class. 
 
• Please refrain from wearing scented body products to class. Smokers should be mindful of the lingering smoke on their clothing and should not smoke before classes.

• Wear non-binding, comfortable clothing. For Vinyasa yoga, tank tops and shorts or light weight pants are best, as these classes are hot. Practice is usually done in barefeet.

• Be on time and enter the studio quietly.

• Turn off cell phones and pagers.

• Please inform teachers of any health concerns.

• Vinyasa students should own their own sticky mat. We do have a limited number of sticky mats available for use. However, we recommend students have their own mats.
