Class Levels

Level I
Level I classes teach the basic fundamentals of yoga, helping students to develop proper posture and alignment, mobility of the joints, core strength, deep flexibility, awareness of body and breath and deep relaxation. This class has a warm, inclusive atmosphere and is ideal for beginners and those with some yoga experience and quickly reveals why yoga is now a doctor's first prescription for back and neck pain, muscle tension, cardiac and other issues.
Level II
This class introduces the full diversity of yoga asana – standing poses, inversions, twists, abdominal work, backbends and forward bends – and is intended for those who are ready to learn more! Level II classes build strength in standing poses, introduce key points of inversions and teach inspiring backbends, forward bends and twists. Combining dynamic sequences and attention to alignment, this class builds knowledge, strength, fluidity, alignment, and confidence in all yoga poses. Level II is open to those with yoga experience, good core strength and not recommended for those with significant back/neck issues.
Level III
This class is for students with an established yoga practice and assumes competence in headstand and shoulderstand. The class builds tremendous technique, strength and agility, while cultivating a deep understanding and interest in the body. Ideal for those who want to deepen their experience of yoga asanas, the class combines vigorous sequencing with deep refinement of individual poses. Level III syllabis requires significant core strength, fluency in all families of yoga poses, confidence in inversions and dynamic flow sequences as well as awareness of one’s own strengths and weakness. Because we focus on the more difficult poses and inversions, this class is intended for those who want to challenge themselves!
"Justine is extraordinarily articulate, responsible, knowledgeable and challenging without being coercive. But the most striking aspect of her teaching and what I never experienced with any other teacher was a feeling of being cared for. She made us feel as if teaching yoga was the only thing in the world she wanted to do and as if having us in her class was one of the best things that had happed to her."
-Suzanne Raitt, Professor of English
