Yoga 2 is designed as more than a simple exercise class. Each class meeting will include a focused practice including physical postures (asana), breathing (pranayama), and mediation (vipasana). The focus of this style of yoga (viniyoga) is on the individual’s internal experience and increasing awareness for conscious action. There are no prerequisites for the Yoga 2 course, although completion of Yoga 1 is highly recommended. Yoga 2 focuses on application of yoga elements of pranayama (breathing), vipasana (meditation), energetics, sound, and ritual and application for emotional and psychological balance.
