New Class with John!

John will be teaching Fundamentals on Tuesdays from 6:15-7:30pm starting on November 4th.

His class is an all-levels class exploring the basic foundations of meditation, pranayam, and asana practices.  Great for first timers, intermediate students, or advanced practitioners.  We will build poses from the ground up through informed, practical guidance on how to stay safe in your practice while getting the most benefit from each of the postures.  Come free your body, free your mind, and let your light shine! 

About John:

As a Kripalu-certified yoga teacher, John teaches with an emphasis on compassion and awareness while drawing on his past as a professional dancer and adjunct faculty at NYU Tisch School of the Arts to provide the technical guidance necessary to build a strong physical foundation for asana practice, and ultimately the ability to execute complicated postures effectively and safely.  His class will focus on the basics, allowing you to dive deeply into your body and providing a platform from which your yoga practice can begin to thrive!

Introducing Paul

Paul is a new teacher at Yoga Above Northampton, he teaches on Wednesdays from 5:00-6:15pm.

His class is equally suited to beginners and long time yoga practitioners, the class is all about dropping into the body and letting go of the mind. Following a traditional hatha yoga style, the class will begin with the practice of sun salutation and move into holding asanas for several breaths. Come laugh, learn, and play as we delve deeper into our yoga practice. Drop in any time!

About Paul:

Raised in an eastern spiritual tradition, Paul has been practicing meditation since childhood. His interest in Hatha Yoga began 7 years ago when he was first exposed to asana practice. Hoping to expose more people to meditation through yoga, Paul completed his teacher certification training with the Samyak School in Kerala India. The focus of his practice is on deepening the mind/body connection though deep breathing in sustained asanas. He draws from Iyengar, Sivananda and Traditional Hatha Yoga modalities for inspiration.
