Why a Progressive/Sequential Class Structure?

A sequential/progressive class structure provides a greatly accelerated and more fertile learning environment for both the student and instructor. Instead of “starting from scratch” as is often the case in the drop-in class model, each session builds and expands on what has been covered in proceeding lessons. Perhaps the most valuable asset of a sequential/progressive approach is that it allows a relationship to form between teacher and student. This is the foundation of an authentic yoga practice and gives the dedicated student the in depth and individual attention they deserve.

SmartYoga combines deep, conscious breath work, powerful flowing movements and meticulous alignment.

It is designed to be both a structured daily routine (complete with a timed Breath Cycle cd and illustrated posture sequence sheet) and a means by which students can understand and adapt the practice of Yoga to meet their specific needs.

SmartYoga emphasizes anatomical education to instill in students a love and respect for the amazing design of the human body.

Each class will begin with sitting, breathing, a short series of preparatory exercises and a brief discussion on theory and anatomy. The majority of the class will be spent in the learning and practice of the SmartYoga posture sequences.
Subjects covered include:

- Breath/Pranayama
- Preparatory exercises
- Sun Salutations
- Standing Postures
- Hip Openers
- Backbends
- Inversions
- Meditation

Students recieve a discounted rate on a private session with Jesse that includes postural assessment, education, and a specialized yoga routine designed to reeducate and rebalance your body.
