Joyful Yoga Class Descriptions
Beginners Yoga- Absolute beginners start here to learn the fundamentals of yoga. These classes tend to move slowly and are full of detailed instruction. Come as you are and leave feeling nourished, relaxed and focused. Discover what yoga really has to offer in this class that is designed for those new to yoga. Intro/ Level 1.
Flow Yoga- This class will leave you feeling vibrant and energized. The flowing series of postures will create harmony, grace and balance on all levels of breath, body and mind. This class can be both calming and invigorating. Find your personal edge and work with exactly where you are at the moment. Deep and delicious. Level 1- 2
Power Yoga- An athletic form of yoga where each posture is synchronized to the breath. This vigorous class is based on Ashtanga yoga which will build flexibility, strength and mental clarity. This class is designed for active people to develop healthy and strong bodies without the stress and impact found in other types of exercise.
This high energy class is created by doing a series of sun salutations, followed by standing and seated postures, with vinyasas in between each seated posture. The constant movement of the body between postures, coordinated with the flow of the breath, helps to maintain a high level of heat and mental focus.
This is a Level 2 class, as postures can be quite challenging, but all levels and types of bodies and experience are welcomed as students are encouraged to work at their own pace.
Yoga for Mental Health- Learn how to increase your self-awareness, self-esteem and ability to cope through yoga. You will learn effective tools that can be practiced anywhere to regain control and happiness. This class will focus on standing and balance postures, with lots of twists. This is also a great choice for those with high blood pressure or glaucoma, as we never have the head lower than the heart. Level 1-2.

Hi Joy!
It's Mark Sparrow here from the Success Summit on Saturday (you gave me the CBDC sweater, thanks!). I was trying to google you for a website and I found the blogspot, the studio looks amazing, I'd be way more inclined to take classes in that environment then what I imagine some of the studios here look like (gymnasium floor).
Just wanted to drop a line to say it was nice to meet you and I wish you the best with the studio.
If you are ever in the Cape Breton neighborhood and need anything just drop me a line, marksparrow@hotmail.com
Cheers,
Mark
