Why a yoga club?

We are a small group of friends with a common purpose and interest, who meet almost every Friday morning to practice yoga together. The Sanskrit word sangha is a little closer to the meaning of what our yoga club does. Sangha is a community of people who practice yoga together and share a common interest in the spiritual path.

I teach focusing on practices within the Ashtanga system which is referring to the eight-limb practice of Yoga as outlined in the Yoga Sūtras of Patanjali. These practices are meant to be applied in everyday life, bringing about a more stable mind and body. This gives you a foundation for a healthy lifestyle and deeper inner awareness.

Each week I teach a little something different. The class descriptions at the end of this page will give you an overview of what to expect each week. The more often you come, the more you will learn. So, if you are reading this, I personally invite you to join us — everyone is welcome. OM! Shelley Enlow

class descriptions

Ashtanga Short Forms — this class is an abbreviated practice made up of postures mainly from the first series and sometimes a few of the second series backbends of Ashtanga Yoga.

Primary Series — the first set of yoga postures in Ashtanga Yoga. This class is the complete Primary Series with the traditional vinyāsa count that links the breath and 48 postures. This practice helps practitioners deepen inward focus, extend the natural breath, and is meant to help detoxify and purify the body.

Mysore Class — a unique yoga class from the Ashtanga lineage where students practice independently and receive one-on-one instruction in a group setting. Students progress at their own pace by learning one small set of postures at a time. After the student memorizes that set, they will learn a new set which is how the independent practice grows. Expect hands-on adjustments, verbal instructions and visual demonstration.

Yoga Sangraha — Sangraha means "a collection." This class is a collection of grounding and calming sequences of postures and breathing practices that are drawn from classical Hatha Yoga tradition. Yoga Sangraha focuses on practices that are deeply calming for the nervous system. The postures are accessible, balancing, and stabilizing.

Pranayama — The aim of these classes is to learn the mechanics of yogic breathing exercises (pranayama) that will help calm the sympathetic nervous system, boost the parasympathetic nervous system, enhance the immune system, and maintain emotional and mental balance. 

Gāyatrī Japa — Japa is the meditative repetition of a mantra. We will recite the Gāyatrī, a beautiful mantra for clarity of mind. Opening and closing with peace mantras and a moment of silence, this short practice helps to calm and focus the mind.

Open Practice — Designated time to practice asana, meditation, silent chanting or pranayama. This practice time is unsupported which means there is no teacher giving instruction and the room is calm and silent. A teacher will be in the classroom also participating in open practice during this time.
