This amazing 26 pose sequence, made famous by Bikram Choudhury and his teacher, Bishnu Ghosh, systematically stretches, strengthens, lubricates and oxygenates 100% of the body, restoring all systems toward healthy, balanced order. It is intended for any level of student as each pose has its beginning and advanced stage. All continued efforts are rewarded with increased awareness, control and relaxation of the body and the state of mind. The room is HOT to help the stiff places get moving and to promote a gradual detoxification of the tissues through sweating. Layering of clothing is encouraged in the wintry months so the body doesn't cool down until the end of practice. Be sure to bring your largest towel, a washcloth, and a waterbottle to every class. (Please bring 2 towels if you tend to sweat a lot.) TEACHER:Carla Raushenbush, creator and director of A Perfect Knot, has been a Massage Therapist since 1990 and graduated from Bikram's second formal 500 hr. teacher training in 1995. She has continued her studies through various teachers, self-study and Scott Anderson's Alignment Yoga 200 hr. Teacher Training in 2005. Since opening her own studio in 1996, she has taught 7-11 classes per week and loves it now more than ever. Carla is gentle and sweet in her approach to the practice of Bikram Yoga. Using the physically thorough sequence of poses to increase health and relaxation, the other focus of Carla's class is freedom. Recognizing cultural conditioning (that binds and crushes our vitality, originality, and natural contentment, modesty and common sense, while presenting itself as the truth) and then steadfastly casting it away is Carla's main practice toward the yogic goals of non-harming, contentment and self-knowledge. This exploration is present and encouraged during asana practice if one wishes. Understanding habitual reactions/patterns of the mind and witnessing our attitudes and perspectives from a step back are ways to find our own center. This ability to be calm, centered and non-judgemental amidst challenges allows clarity, kindness, and fun to flow forth. She also offers useful anatomical and holistic health information. Expect a uniquely gentle teaching of Bikrams and personal encouragement in a class that respects silliness, healing, seriousness, and independent, explorative thought. Mind AND body flexible, strong, imaginative, living well within, yet beyond culture, era, ego and circumstance. All levels welcome, of course!

Ashtanga Yoga is a fluid and energetic purification practice, leading into the core of your being. The dynamic physical practice traverses through sun salutations, standing and seated poses, backbends and inversions; all woven together by breath. Consistent practice reveals our connection to the great cosmic creation and empowers us to walk in beauty.

This class is designed for those new to yoga. Focused on building the basics of vinyasa style yoga, this class is ideal for those new to yoga as well as those who are looking to build their practice.

This class utilizes classical yoga postures to stretch and strengthen the body. Postures are led in a slow meditative manner with longer holding to generate heat and encourage the body to release deep-seated tension. The class consists of non-strenuous yoga movements designed to gently stretch skeletal muscles and deeply relax the nervous system.

A more intense vinyasa style class for those with good understanding of proper alignment and breath.

This class is a multi-style discipline that is for everyone-not just those who are physically flexible and free from injury. This class is perfect for students at all levels to help them deepen their practice to the best of their abilities.

The intention of restorative yoga is to hold a space where one can slow down and reconnect to yourself, easing the body and the breath, thus easing the mind, in escense, to restore the body to optimum health and well being.

This class is a well-rounded, early morning vinyasa style yoga class to warm and limber the body and help bring focus for the day.
