Beginner classes introduce participants to the basics of yoga.  Whether you are highly active or dealing with health challenges, Get Bent’s beginner classes are welcoming, adaptive and build a strong core and foundation.  Postures are modified to meet each person's needs and the encouragement to work at your own pace makes these classes very adaptive.

Level 1 & 2 classes focus on a central theme (e.g. standing, seated, forward bending or inverted poses) and poses target specific areas of the body (i.e., chest, hips, lower back).

In Level 2, students are encouraged to understand more detailed techniques in more challenging asanas (poses).  Relaxation time in each class teaches one to focus on the breath.

In Intermediate classes, students are challenged progressively with physical asanas that demand strength and flexibility.  These classes also focus on more advanced mental concepts ranging from the mechanics of joint movement to the change in energy flow during asanas with pranayama (breath work).  Intermediate classes are a wonderful compliment to a committed home practice.

Seniors classes are relaxed and social with lots of laughs. All ages and levels are welcome to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and modest level of exertion.  These classes focus on gentle stretches, movement based exercises, and restorative poses.  Custom made extra soft mats make these classes a very pleasant experience.

Seniors classes are also suitable for those who are practicing yoga for cardiac and injury rehabilitation purposes.

Chair Yoga classes cater to those who have limited mobility (e.g. difficulty getting down to the floor).  Exercises are done seated in comfortable chairs with arm rests.  These classes focus on developing joint mobility and muscle strength along with understanding and accepting the capabilities of ones’ body.
