Yoga on Campus

In addition to the weekly meditation sessions hosted by the Center for Spiritual Life, we offer a wider selection of guided yoga classes on campus several times a week.


 GROUP YOGA SESSIONS


Sessions follow the academic calendar and will resume on January 29th, 2013.

238 Thompson Street, Room 475
With Jay Karlinski
Kripalu’s approach to yoga practice is unique, integrating the rigor of traditional yoga with an emphasis on the study of consciousness, prana, and meditation in motion. Kripalu yoga empowers one to listen to the body, discovering from one’s own experience what practices support well-being and growth. This class explores yoga postures, pranayama, and meditation. Classes are dynamic and always fresh, continuously challenging the body to respond in new ways.

This all-levels class combines flowing, dynamic poses with an emphasis on mindful movement coordinated with breath. Each class contains a multitude of choices and variations, encouraging students to explore possibilities and personalize their practice.

238 Thompson Street, Room 472
With Amy Monaco
This Beginner Level Vinyasa-style class is perfect for newcomers to yoga. Those without any prior experience will have the chance to explore the fundamental postures, ask questions, and receive thorough explanation and demonstration. As each individual practitioner grows — and as the class as a whole grows — more challenging poses and sequences will be introduced. Students are encouraged to modify or return to the previous levels of poses depending on their needs. There will never be any pressure to “keep up”or impress, only to grow at your own pace. This class can also be beneficial those practicing at the intermediate level who wish to get back in touch with the basics, deepen and refine the foundational poses, and ease into their day with a gentler morning flow.

7 East 10th Street, 5th Floor
With Emily Bielagus
In this Vinyasa-style movement party, we will practice an invigorating series of asanas, or poses, that will challenge you, shift your perspective, open your heart, and prepare your body for the stillness of meditation. In other words, let’s put our bodies in motion while giving our minds a rest. All levels — including beginners! — are welcome.
