Class Description
Mysore-Style Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is a breathing and movement system that includes sun salutations, standing postures, seated forward bends, twists, backbends, arm balances and inversions. Both new and experienced students learn the series and practice at their own pace, working through their assigned postures with personal assistance and instruction by the teacher. Mysore membership is required. New students are welcome - phone/text Laura Spaulding: 502-585-2070.
Mysore Sanskrit Class
Ashtanga students who travel to Mysore, India to study yoga are also required to take Sanskrit classes. Learning a new language improves cognitive function, memory, and verbal and spatial abilities. This class teaches correct pronunciation of the Sanskrit letters and how to write and read Sanskrit Devanagari script and transliteration (writing the letters using the international alphabet).
Hatha Yoga
These classes are challenging and rewarding! Hatha Yoga classes are geared to students in normal health who are working to learn fundamental postures including standing poses, seated poses, easy inversions, and relaxation poses, as well as those who have more experience and are seeking to expand, refine and develop their yoga practice at more subtle levels. Teachers will give instructions on how to modify postures for your practice. All classes end with deep relaxation.
Ashtanga Yoga - All Levels
Ashtanga Yoga is a series of postures that includes sun salutations, standing poses, forward bends, twists, hip openers, arm balances, backbends, and ends with shoulder-stand and headstand. It includes all the important poses taught at Yoga East. Regular practice builds strength, endurance and the ability to handle any kind of yoga class. Open to all levels but recommended for students with some yoga experience. The instructor will suggest modifications for more complicated postures. This is a challenging class and is not for students with wrist or knee problems.
Ashtanga Led Class (by Permission)
Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series with Sanskrit count as taught by Sharath Jois in Mysore, India by students who study with Sharath. This class is not for new Ashtanga students. Mysore membership required to register.
Mysore Sanskrit Chanting
Ashtanga students who travel to Mysore, India are required to study Sanskrit in addition to yoga. Chanting class teaches correct pronunciation of the sounds and how to chant Vedic hymns, poetry (shlokas), and devotional songs (bhajans). Chanting is a complete yoga practice that includes learning to sit in a steady, comfortable posture, maintaining mental focus, and breathing. No previous experience or knowledge of Sanskrit is required. Handouts of the chants are on the Mysore Page and available at the studio.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow integrates movement, breath and alignment for a challenging class that builds strength and flexibility. Includes arm balances, backbends and inversions. Recommended for students with no limiting injuries.
Heart of Yoga - Discussion and Meditation
What would a yogi do? In this class we discuss how a yogi responds to war, anger, hatred, violence, disinformation, social media, and all the pressures of modern life, which are not different from the pressures that yoga practitioners have faced for thousands of years. Come to class and learn how yoga helps us to be strong, resilient, courageous, enthusiastic and joyous in the face of daunting adversity. Class ends with guided meditation.
Kettlebells for Yoga
Kettlebells are a unique tool that, like yoga, work your entire body. This class will introduce you to the basic Kettlebell movements. Kettlebells combined with your regular Yoga practice will make for a powerful combination to help your practice grow. All skill levels are welcome to attend.
Sunday Mysore Led Class (by Permission)
For experienced Ashtanga students, this class covers full Primary Series plus the first nine postures of Intermediate Series (if there are enough Intermediate Series students). Students are invited to try more postures or you can always stop at your usual stopping point and wait for backbends. Students who are not yet practicing full primary series will be asked to stop at a point appropriate for your present practice, and wait for the finishing poses, or you can go to the next room for relaxation on your own.

Yoga Sutras - Chapters 1-2
With Laura Spaulding. Next held on Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 5:30 pm - 6:45 pm. This enrollment runs from Thu Sep 8, 2016 - Thu Dec 29, 2016. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were composed approximately 2400 years ago and brilliantly and succinctly summarize the yoga system in a text of 196 aphorisms (sutras). Patanjali's work has been the subject of numerous scholarly commentaries. Although it fell into obscurity for several centuries it was resurrected by Western Sanskrit scholars in the 19th century. Today it is widely studied as one of the earliest and most authoritative texts of yoga. Study of the Yoga Sutras is recommended in both the Ashtanga and Iyengar systems. This class will chant, read and discuss the meaning of the Sutras and how they are relevant and helpful for one's own yoga practice. No previous knowledge of the Yoga Sutras is needed for the class.

Hear the amazing stories of the siddhas (perfected ones), the rishis, the wizards, the magicians, the wild goddesses, the yogins and yoginis who were so powerful they were seen as divine beings. Learn to separate myth from history and analyze yoga critically and intelligently. Great yoga practitioners and teachers need to be well-informed on the history of yoga. Introduction to the philosophy of yoga includes study and discussion of the modern history of yoga. How did yoga originate? Who are the important historical and mythological figures in yoga, and what is the source of their knowledge? Equally important - how do the ancient myths and texts of yoga have relevance for our life and yoga practice today? These important questions will be discussed in class. Open to all students - you need not be in teacher training to register.

Letting Go Yoga Nidra
With Kim Eisner. Sat, Oct 29, 2016 at 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm. You are what your deep driving desire is. As is your desire, so is your will. As is your will, so is your thought. As is your thought, so is your word. As is your word, so is your deed. As is your deed, so is your destiny. The word "nidra" means sleep, but this is not ordinary sleep. This is yogic sleep, entering a profound state of relaxation in which you are able to descend into the deepest levels of consciousness and unlock your inner strengths. Change negative habits and thoughts into positive, life-affirming behaviors and transform your life. Tap into your own creative potential and discover how to meet life's challenges with enthusiasm and courage. Yoga Nidra holds the key. This class is our annual class, held near Halloween each year, on the theme of Death - the Final Definitive Journey. Many past participants have found this yoga nidra to be a powerful and life-changing spiritual experience. This class is a one-hour guided relaxation. No yoga experience is needed. The class begins with a soothing series of easy yoga postures that prepare the body for deep relaxation. We recommend you bring an ordinary bed pillow and a blanket or something warm to cover with during relaxation. Ware loose or stretchy clothes appropriate for yoga practice.
