Classes
Momentasana yoga classes range from 45 to 120 minutes in length, and they always include elements of discussion and meditation, woven throughout each asana routine. Each longer session includes at least 15 minutes in a resting transitional sequence, which often includes the profoundly relaxing technique of body-scan sensing coupled to calming meditation.
Practitioners at all levels may benefit from these classes– and, as ever, in any routine, I encourage all practitioners, especially beginners, to work within a smooth, calm breath and a combined sense of comfort (sukha) and steadiness (sthira), honoring one’s independence and inner teacher, especially with respect to pace, exertion, and flexibility.
Practicing yoga creatively in wilderness settings is a point of emphasis in Momentasana classes, including in the first-ever offerings posted at this site. Landscapes, natural soundscapes, and spontaneous events in each setting inspire reflections, awaken creativity, and elicit a strong sense of our connection to the living world.
