Next to our classes in the schedule you will find a level number. All yoga classes increase strength and flexibility, but some classes may be better suited to your needs than others. The following is a key to help you decide which class best suits your goals. If you would like more help in assessing which classes are right for you, feel free to call us 773.262.9256 or email.
▪Basics/ Introduction to Yoga= I'm new to yoga or simply looking for a gentler practice. You may also consider visiting our Introduction to Yoga page. ▪ Level 1= Similar to Basics with focus on breathwork and alignment. ▪ Level 1-2 = I have some yoga experience, feel comfortable making modifications to suit the poses I am still working on, and want to continue to expand my practice. ▪ Level 2= I have become a regular yoga practitioner and am looking for some challenge, but still enjoy working on alignment and with more detail. ▪Level 2-3 = I am a solid yoga practitioner, practice a variety of poses including inversions and backbends, and am looking to challenge myself in new ways. ▪ Level 3= I am an experienced practitioner with a daily practice and attend 3-5 classes per week. I'm attuned to my body and prepared to self-modify. I'm looking for lots of challenge. I'm prepared for strong backbends, unsupported inversions, and challenging hand balances.
I don't have the stereotypical "yoga body" and feel more comfortable with other people of different shapes and sizes. Consider: EveryBODY Yoga I am, or aspire to be a yoga instructor. I have practiced regularly for a long time and have a real understanding of yogic practice and philosophy. Consider: Hatha 3
