Headstand in New Mexico's Bisti De-Na-Zin Wilderness
Yoga 1 Studio offers a sacred space for dedicated yoga
practice, suited to the needs of all individuals; each class may have
a different emphasis: Standing Poses, Backbends, Sun Salutations or Restorative
Yoga. Our clientele is composed of people of all ages and walks of life.
Classes begin with a five-minute silent meditation or Restorative
Yoga posture. Please plan to arrive ten minutes before the start of
class to set up your place, as well as to discuss any physical concerns
with your yoga instructor. We take our shoes off, turn off our cell phones
and set up our mats for practice. All of the classes are one and a half
hours long. We use yoga props such as sticky mats, blocks, blankets, chairs
and yoga belts (all provided) to create better alignment in the yoga postures,
and to aid in holding the poses longer. Bring your own sticky mat if you
wish.
Class size averages 6 to 8 students. The yoga student
may choose from seven yoga classes each week:
-
Basic Level Yoga (for beginners or for those who would like
a gentle practice) on Tuesday mornings (9:30-11am) and Thursday mornings
(9:30-11am)
-
Mixed Levels Yoga (including Intermediate and Inverted
Poses) on Monday mornings (9:30-11am) and evenings (5:30-7pm); Wednesday
mornings (9:30-11am); Thursday evenings (5:30-7pm); and Saturday mornings
(9-10:30am)
-
Restorative Yoga features a specialized yoga involving
longer periods of holding poses, with props such as bolsters and blocks,
for deep relaxation. We also include the headstand (Sirsasana 1) and
shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangasana) or modifications, such as Inverted
Lake Pose (Viparita Karani).
Please call first and listen to the message for any class
changes
