Ashtanga Unraveled

Mondays, 12 - 1 PM with svia

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is the Father of the yoga ‘flow’ movement that has swept the industry from the gym scene to the world of hot yoga and back again to its roots in India. Here we take a look at the dynamic primary series: build heat in the body with sun salutations, continue with standing postures and finish with a seated sequence, backbends and inversion. The goal is to remain true to the form using steady breath to guide us through the practice while also finding ways to keep the practice safe, sustainable and nurturing. All Levels Welcome.

“I've been appreciating a dedicated bi-weekly yoga practice at Open Space for many moons. I'm able to seamlessly integrate noon-time yoga into my life multiple times a week which is essential in my work-life balance. I appreciate the small class sizes, variety in class offerings, and that the practice space is naturally well lighted with many windows" ~ Ann Marie

Strength & Flow

With strength of body, comes a powerful and calm mind. Come to this class prepared for a full spectrum and challenging yoga sequence. Expect vinyasa, core strengthening, longer holds and balancing postures. All levels welcome.

Grandma’s Doing Yoga

Thursdays, 2-3 PM with Lynne

These Mindful Movement classes are designed primarily for those over 50 years of age who are in good physical condition, but might have some limitations that the aging process brings to us.  We begin by finding our breath in pranayama, then move gently to get the joints and muscles warmed up. Next, we practice sequences of vigorous standing and balancing poses to get the heart rate up and muscles stretched; looking for mindfulness and calm through the expression of the poses. Class ends with peaceful, restorative postures to bring all aspects of our practice together.  

Prenatal Yoga

Thursdays, 5:30 – 6:45 PM with SviA

Time to dispel the myth that a woman is debilitated during her pregnancy! Here, a community of expecting moms practice yoga in a fun and safe environment to prepare the heart, hips, breath, and mind for the birthing experience. Kundalini Kriyas (“Keep-ups”) build mental stamina and calm the nervous system, while specific Hatha Yoga postures help soothe backache, pelvic pain, and other common discomforts related to pregnancy. Every class offers a nurturing atmosphere in which to connect with your baby and other women, and restore vital energy during this sacred time in your life. Appropriate from day 1 all the way to full term. No previous yoga experience necessary.

Hips, Core, Explore Yoga

Thursdays, 7 - 8:30 PM with Svia

Explore unique hip-opening postures with some longer holds and fun ways to build strength in the core and beyond. The hips complete the union of the lower body with the heart and head. A healthy hip joint includes stability from well toned deep abdominal (core) muscles, and a balance of strength and elasticity in the back and hamstrings. This class will complement the active

Alaska lifestyle by preparing the body to absorb the shock of hiking, biking, running, skiing, etc.

The hips hold a treasure trove of emotions, secrets, and history. When we focus a regular asana practice around the hips, it is natural for more profound layers of the body to unfurl, release and eventually heal. Practice may include warming flows, longer holds, advanced postures, inversions, chanting, and pranayama.
