CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Most classes offered at studio330 are ‘Vinyasa’ yoga. Vinyasa means “to place in a special way” and describes a dynamic practice where poses are linked to each other in an intelligent sequence. Additionally, we offer yin and restorative yoga. Every class is built around the key elements of the yoga practice: breath, meditation, and deep relaxation. These are a description of the various types of classes that are offered at different times throughout the year. Not all class types are always on the schedule.
FUNDAMENTALS

This class will cycle through 4 main themes—attend consistently for a month to get the whole picture. 1st week of each month: standing poses; 2nd week: forward folds and hip openers; 3rd week: backbends; 4th week: twists. 5 Wednesdays in a month? 5th week: surprise!

CORE (Currently not on schedule)
A stable core is key to a strong yoga practice. We need core support to find balance and move safely in our practice. Healthy core muscles play a role in all aspects of our lives, from digestion to emotional stability. This class is not about building up a perfect six-pack, but rather about discovering the positive effects of fluid core strength on your overall wellbeing. All levels welcome, but be prepared to get a 'lil sweaty.

MONTHLY MASTERCLASS
This 90-minute class takes place on the first Saturday of each month. Please don’t be dissuaded by the term “masterclass.“ Please! This is a great opportunity for all of you who want to dig deeper, who want to learn more about your yoga practice, about your body and mind. You don’t have to be a super advanced practitioner. (But advanced practitioners are welcome, of course.) If you are keen to understand more and willing to work, our monthly, 90-minute masterclass will suit you well. Each session will be dedicated to one or several related challenging poses. Our goal is not to master those poses in a ready-made approach, but to break them down in an intelligent way and to really understand and make the poses accessible. Each session will include a short discussion of relevant philosophy and anatomy, a carefully sequenced class to prepare the body, an in-depth look at each challenging pose including accessible variations, relaxation and meditation.

ASHTANGA YOGA
Ashtanga comes from Mysore in India and is a set sequence of postures linked together through movement. The postures become one at a time more challenging and the attention is on the breath. Each movement of the body fits within the breath in a calm and focused way. You can call it a breathing moving practice.
The first series is called Primary Series and consists of Sun Salutations, a standing sequence, a seated sequence, backbends and a closing sequence. There are 6 series in the Ashtanga tradition, Primary series is the one usually taught in led classes. In a led Primary Series class the teacher calls the postures, and the students follow the cueing. This class is usually led in Sanskrit. Due to the repetition over weeks of the same postures the students can see their practice advance before their eyes. As always variations are offered when needed.
